I. INTRODUCTION

Transportation is one of the important things in our daily living. Most of us

choose to have our own car to save time and provide convenience every
time we’re going to school, work or business. Nowadays vehicle industry
performs a huge role inside the economics of all of the nations within the
world and one of the maximum severe hassle that the huge motor car can
have whether or not they're for the transportation of passenger or longer
distance travel, is ensuring the precise overall performance of the tires.

Underinflation can result in tire failure and a probable crash, however in

times it simply wastes fuel and results to reduced running time of vehicle.
That’s why good tire maintenance should be implemented for each car,
giving investment for a good quality tires is a good idea like ‘’ SELF
INFLATING TIRES SYSTEM’’. Here in the Philippines we may consider
this kind of inventions, it can help us in many ways such us Our Safety,
Fuel Efficiency, Tire Longevity and Convenience.

II. RELATED STUDIES

Research studies shows that underinflated tires are one of the major
reasons of road and vehicular accidents. And since then, plenty of
researches had been finished to improve the efficiency of the automobile
tires that’s why there are new found strategies to improve the
performance of an automobile.

The Automobile Tire Defects of the American Jurisprudence, Proof of

Facts, quoted the accident prevention division of Allstate Insurance Co. in
its findings that almost 25 percent of fatal accidents on the highways are
caused by tire troubles and tire underinflation are many times the cause
of vehicular accidents.
III. METHODOLOGY

The system uses portable compressor in order to supply air to all four
tires through hoses. A rotary joint is fixed between the wheel spindle and
wheel hub in each tire and the rotary joints effectively lets air to be
distributed to the underinflated tire. On this system as soon as the tire air
pressure goes low, the pressure sensor will be activated and will send
the information to the controller which will activate the valve and will fill
the tires with exact air pressure needed.

IV. RESULT

As for result, this system will help drivers in terms of Safety because well
inflated tires promote proper car stability and reduce the danger of
blowouts, Fuel Efficiency accurate tire air pressure leads to lower rolling
resistance and drastically enhancing gas efficiency, Tire Longevity right
inflation considerably improves a tire's lifespan and Convenience
elimination of tires inflation at fuel stations.
