TPMS Feature Brief

What is TPMS?

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in your vehicle monitors the tire's air pressure continuously and alerts Azuga Fleet users when the pressure varies from the recommended level. 

Managing tire pressure in your fleet has real-world benefits:

• Safety - improperly inflated tires can increase the distance required to stop and can affect the likelihood of hydroplaning.  
• Maintenance - maintaining the ideal tire pressure across your fleet will increase the life of the tires reducing maintenance costs and also make sure you are achieving the maximum fuel efficiency.

How does TPMS work?

Leveraging Tire Pressure Management in Azuga Safe Fleet or Azuga Complete Fleet will enable the collection and analysis of on-board tire pressure data without any additional hardware. If any of a vehicle’s tires is underinflated/overinflated by 12% or more, the driver will be alerted to reinflate it or repair it as necessary. Tire pressure issues, such as slow leak identification, can be tracked through the Azuga Fleet web and mobile applications.

Our demo video can provide a quick glimpse of how the TPMS feature works on Azuga. Please click here to watch the video.

What are the various types of TPMS events? 

Below is a list of events based on the data we receive from the vehicle:

1. Low Pressure Events
   1. Low Pressure
   2. Critical Low Pressure
   3. Low Pressure Resolved
2. High Pressure Events
   1. High Pressure
   2. Critical High Pressure
   3. High Pressure Resolved

Where can I see the TPMS events?

The TPMS events are recorded whenever the device senses the underinflated or overinflated tires and alerts the driver about the inflation, as well as reporting the events to the Azuga server. Events associated with the TPMS are captured and can be seen under the following:

1. Live Maps
   1. Go to the Live Maps.
   2. Select the vehicle whose Tire Pressure event you want to know.
   3. Check if the vehicle has got any Tire Pressure events in the breadcrumb trail.
