FAQ
The Virtual Sensors deliver real-time temperature data for each corner of the vehicle. For tires, they provide both the surface temperature and the internal air temperature. For brakes, they report the disc temperature and the brake pad temperature, enabling comprehensive thermal insights without the need for physical sensors.
A Virtual Sensor uses existing vehicle data — such as speed, braking force, ect. — to estimate physical quantities that are typically measured by hardware sensors. Through combination of data-driven algorithms and physical knowledge, it calculates real-time values like tire and brake temperatures without requiring any additional components. This software-only approach delivers accurate, actionable insights while reducing complexity, weight, and integration effort.
The Virtual Sensor estimates the average tire surface temperature with an accuracy of ±10°C, and the internal tire air temperature with an accuracy of ±5°C. For the braking system, the brake disc and pad temperatures are accurate to within ±20°C of their average thermal values.
The Virtual Sensors are designed with flexible resolution capabilities. By default, it provides temperature readings with a resolution of 0.1°C, offering high granularity for precise thermal analysis.
The Virtual Sensor technology supports flexible sampling configurations. As a standard setting, it provides temperature data at a sampling rate of 10Hz, which ensures timely and actionable thermal insights during dynamic driving conditions.
COMPREDICT’s Virtual Sensor uses existing vehicle data, such as wheel speed or accelerations signals. This makes it easy to integrate without additional hardware, ensuring fast deployment across various motor designs. Sufficient data quality and CAN data access in your vehicles are required.
Yes, it provides a best-in-class tire and brake temperatures, covering public driving as well as track day conditions, compliant street legal driving – avoiding extra weight and sensors malfunction or failure.
