About Project
The iSensor smart tire system by BANF is an innovative solution developed to tackle the challenges of tire longevity and environmental impact. Already deployed in Texas and California (USA) and Changchun (China), the system combines sensors attached to tires with a Smart Profiler mounted on the mudguard. Using wireless power transmission, it continuously collects and analyzes data in real time. With its integration of 3-axis accelerometers, advanced signal-processing algorithms, and Bluetooth connectivity, iSensor can instantly detect pressure, temperature, tread wear, and alignment — even during high-speed driving — alerting drivers before risks escalate.
Its social impact is also compelling. By extending tire life to over 200,000 miles, iSensor effectively reduces replacement frequency and maintenance costs. Logistics companies such as DHL, FedEx, and Amazon benefit from improved fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions, while everyday drivers enjoy enhanced safety and reduced expenses. These outcomes translate into fewer discarded tires, resource savings, and measurable reductions in greenhouse gases.
Developed and validated with industrial partners including Volvo and DHL, the system has proven reliable in real-world driving conditions. Its durability from –40°C to 115°C enables consistent performance across polar to tropical climates and diverse vehicle environments.
iSensor is more than a monitoring device. It represents a paradigm shift toward sustainable mobility. By enhancing road safety, reducing environmental burdens, and offering a modular system adaptable for global rollout, it positions itself as a foundation technology for the future of smart vehicles and autonomous transport.
