Abstract

This study addresses the pivotal challenge of enhancing power efficiency in tyre pressure and temperature monitoring systems (TPMS) for heavy vehicles and trailers. Employing field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) and adaptive channel frequency hopping in bluetooth low energy (BLE) communication, the research focuses on mitigating power consumption issues specific to heavy vehicles with multiple tyres. The proposed solution incorporates strategic BLE channel blocking and adaptive frequency hopping on the FPGA platform to alleviate channel congestion and interference, ultimately reducing TPMS power consumption. The FPGA's adaptability tailors frequency hopping strategies to automotive TPMS nuances, optimizing channel selection and minimizing energy-intensive processes. Empirical results showcase a significant reduction in power consumption, with the TPMS operating at 100 MHz during active mode consuming 66 mW, dropping to 11 mW in sleep mode, and reaching 0 mW in hibernate mode for the majority of operational time. This research establishes a practical FPGA-based approach for power optimization in commercial TPMS, promising heightened reliability, safety improvements, and environmental impact reduction in the automotive sector.
