The most frequent cause of a flat tire is a very gradual loss of air that goes unnoticed by the driver. With DDS and TPMS we offer two systems with different monitoring methods for detecting such air loss.

DDS, a indirect measuring low-cost system, gives a warning signal when there is a decrease in tire pressure. DDS requires no sensors of its own but evaluates the data gathered via the EBS wheel speed sensors. Any loss of pressure changes the radius of the tires, and results in a specific alteration of the speed signal. Integrating the system into EBS software in this manner makes DDS an interesting solution that is very economical, especially when considering the introduction of Continental run-flat tires.
