Fatal accidents are increasing day-by-day due to the failure of wheel bearing, unbalancing of wheel and tyre bursting due to increase in the temperature. Bearing is the most important mechanical device on which the wheel performance of a vehicle depends. Lack of proper periodic maintenance of the bearing leads to the failure of bearing, which results in wheel misalignment. Hence, tyres with wheels come out from the axial in moving condition, which results in accidents. Bearing failure can also be due to bearing buckling, scratches, nicks, discoloration, corrosion and crack. This can be due to lack of lubrication or overheating etc. Also due to improper tyre pressure, harsh braking and increase in the temperature of the tyre, tyre gets heated up causing tyre bursting which leads to fatal accidents. The main objective is to detect tyre temperature and wheel alignment deviation, thereby providing indication through audio-visual system which prevents accidents of the vehicle and the driver from an injury or death. Hence, we have used ARDUINO UNO, ULTRASONIC SENSOR, LEDS, DHT-11 SENSOR and BUZZER.
