TPMS and RSC, Which Is Safer

Nowadays, as people rely more and more on cars in daily travel, the number of TPMS cars continues to grow, and it inevitably leads to frequent traffic accidents. According to incomplete statistics, 70% of accidents on highways are caused by car punctures. Sudden tire punctures cause the car to lose control and collide or roll over. The adverse effects caused by it are quite terrible. So the question is coming, do you understand the danger of a flat tire? What is the probability of a car puncture, Which is safer, TPMS or RSC?

 

 

The Principle of Flat Tire

 The principle of a flat tire is actually very simple, specifically referring to the sudden change in tire pressure due to internal or external forces, the force of which exceeds the maximum bearing capacity of the tire, which explodes. In general, the chance of a flat tire is small. But, one thing never happened, the probability is 0%; if it happened, the probability is 100%. If you are not careful, road failures, abnormal tire pressure caused by tires not changing for a long time, etc., are likely to cause flat tires, and the consequences are often fatal and irreparable. 

 

 

What is Tire Pressure Monitoring

Tire pressure monitoring refers to the use of wireless transmission technology, using high-sensitivity miniature wireless pressure sensors / transmitters fixed in the car tires to collect data such as car tire pressure and temperature while driving or stationary, and transmit the data to the driver, the indoor receiving monitor displays the real-time data of the car tire pressure and temperature in a digital form, and reminds the driver of the early warning of the car's active safety system in the form of buzzing and screen flashing when the tire is abnormal (preventing flat tires). . In order to ensure that the pressure and temperature of the tire are maintained within the standard and appropriate range, it can reduce the probability of puncture and tire damage, and reduce fuel consumption and damage to vehicle components.

 

 

Which of TPMS and RSC is more secure

RSC refers to the installation of special tires (such as explosion-proof tires), so that the tires can still drive for a long period of time after the explosion to avoid the collision of the car due to the sudden explosion. This is mainly due to some special structures inside the special tires, which can support the operation of the car after the tires are flat. RSC battery life can also play a role, but the installation of special tires is complicated, the fuel consumption is greater, and the cost of tires is also very high, which is not very convenient. Therefore, overall, tire pressure monitoring is more cost-effective and practical.

 

 

Emergency measures for flat tire

1. If the front wheel is a flat tire, hold the steering wheel tightly and adjust the front of the car. The movement should be gentle. Don't panic and violently beat the steering wheel repeatedly, so as to avoid the car from slipping and turning around. Then slowly slow down, you can hang neutral or reduce the gear step by step, release the accelerator pedal and lightly apply the brake repeatedly to stop the car slowly.

 

2. If the rear wheel is punctured, the car will be unstable, and a slight force will be generated to make the car lean towards the flat tire. At this time, the pedal should be repeatedly lightly pressed, and the car should be slowly stopped by means of fuel reduction and gear reduction. Just like when the front tire burst, do not slam on the brake pedal or release the accelerator pedal quickly. You can use the fuel reduction method to gradually slow down the car and finally stop.

 

 

Both TPMS and RSC can play a role of early warning. Considering cost and usability, tire pressure sensor and programmable tire pressure monitoring system are good choices.
