Measuring tire footprints and their distributed contact pressures under motion is no easy feat---but PPS has a solution.  Our industrial-grade sensors are proven to have the speed, resolution, and ruggedness for this demanding application.  PPS tire footprint sensors feature auxiliary analog inputs capable of reading position encoder or accelerometer data to correlate the type of motion with the tactile data.  And they can be configured to fit tread widths for nearly any size vehicle.

Assessing brake pad design and performance has long challenged automotive engineers due to the absence of detailed data on contact pressures during actual braking.  PPS industrial sensors can be embedded into the brake pad, where integrated temperature sensors combined with our advanced software can correct for extreme temperature changes during deceleration.  Now you can measure dynamic tactile pressure distributions between brake pads and other wear surfaces with unparallelled combination spatial resolution and accuracy.  And there is no need to slow down or cool off to take data---our rugged sensors work at your speeds and temperatures!
