Title :
A system that monitors whether or not tyres on wheeled vehicles are under or over inflated which may be further developed to measure tyre pressures. This system may then in turn be used to detect overloaded axles

Abstract :
Traffic 2000 Ltd. have become world leaders in piezo electric technology for the traffic industry. We have devised various types of piezoelectric detectors that have led to the design of a tyre monitoring system. We are able to measure speed very accurately indeed in free flowing traffic, axle passage from 0 to 150 mph and width of wheels. We are able to monitor bicycle passage in mixed traffic roads, differentiate between bicycle, motorbikes, cars, and all manner of commercial vehicles
