Hardware

  • LiDAR sensor: measures distance to the tire surface for tread depth estimation
  • Raspberry Pi 5: runs MATLAB processing and handles data collection
  • GPS module: provides vehicle speed and location data
  • Accelerometer: measures vibration and motion
  • Temperature sensor: monitors tire temperature
  • I2C controller: enables communication between sensors

Software

  • Real-time data acquisition using MATLAB
  • LiDAR data parsing and distance extraction
  • Noise filtering and signal stabilization
  • Tread depth calculation based on distance change
  • Tire life estimation
  • Data upload to Firebase for visualization

Data Flow

Sensors → Raspberry Pi (MATLAB) → Firebase → Mobile App

  • The system collects sensor data, processes it in real time, and uploads the results for remote monitoring and visualization.
