    Abstract :

    This paper presents the tyres pressure monitoring systems in TPMS and DDS. This has the role of warning the driver when the tyre pressure is inferior to the correct pressure; the tyres deflated can lead to an increase of fuel consumption up to 4%, decreasing in the same time, the length of tyre using up to 45%; the tyres can lose pressure between 3% to 6% within a month, pressure loss which cannot be observed by the driver; the deflated tyres are also an important factor in triggering road accidents. So, the paper presents the system’s hardware structure and also the software implementation on this. The originality consists in the soft designing for the PIC16F877A, which was performed with the help of PCWH compiler from the CCS Inc.
