Bosch and Pirelli have signed a joint development agreement. The aim is to jointly develop new software-based solutions and driving functions using sensors integrated into tires. According to the announcement, this will mean greater safety, comfort and improved driving dynamics for the driver. Together, the suppliers want to research improved logic for tire signal calculation as a potential input for improved driving dynamics controllers.

It also states that Pirelli "Cyber Tyre" is the world's first system based on tires with integrated sensors that collect data and transmit it to a vehicle for processing in real time. In an initial joint project with hypercar manufacturer Pagani Automobili, Bosch has already developed an ESP application specially adapted to Pirelli tires.

The "Cyber Tyre" technology of the Pagani Utopia Roadster transmits important tire information to the ESP control unit. This enables optimum use of the individual properties and performance of the tires and ensures maximum safety and tailored driving conditions.

Bosch is contributing its system-side hardware and software expertise to the development cooperation. In addition to MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensors, Bosch also develops and manufactures tire pressure sensors according to the "Bluetooth Low Energy" (BLE) standard.

Together with Pirelli's technologies for tire components - hardware, software, algorithms and tire modeling—tire data can be recorded and processed in real time and made available for the vehicle's electronic control system. In the future, both companies want to evaluate Bosch's MEMS technology for in-tyre applications.
