“…Accidents due to tire blowouts or failure are common and underreported in the country [16]. Apart from causing accidents, inappropriate tire pressure affects fuel consumption, and the increase in fuel consumption can become significant when driving within cities and towns [11], [18]. This is because the pressure in the tire has a significant effect on the tire adhesion to the road surface, thereby affecting the vehicle's safety on the road.…”

“…Another important risk factor is tire adhesion. Factors that affect the tire adhesion to the road include the tire parameters, the vehicle parameters, the road surface, and the volume of the load carried [18]. While tire blowout is mostly investigated as a mechanical factor of road accidents because it is a major component of vehicles, its effects on accident occurrence cannot be independent of human behavior.…”

Aside from human factors, tire blowouts and other tire imperfections are major contributors to the persistently high road accident rate. While tire imperfections are categorized as part of the mechanical factors affecting road accident, the tire maintenance personnel and the vehicle owners' human behavior plays a significant role in ensuring that accidents due to tire imperfections are minimized. Therefore, this study aims to determine the accuracy of the pressure gauges used by tire maintenance personnel, popularly called vulcanizers in Nigeria, and to determine the level of awareness of vehicle owners about the basic information that affects the safe use of tires on the road. The study consists of two stages. The first stage investigates the accuracy of the pressure gauges used by twenty vulcanizers in four different districts in Birnin Kebbi, the northwestern part of Nigeria. The second stage was an online survey regarding the tire maintenance behavior of 87 participants, who were formally educated from Diploma to Ph.D. level. The study's findings showed that about 25% of the vulcanizers do not use pressure gauges to measure air pressure during tire inflation, and less than 17% of the readings taken were accurate. Yet about 60% of the respondents believe that vulcanizers' pressure gauges are reliable and less than 30% of the respondents know that the expiring date of tires is four years in Nigeria. Therefore, there is an urgent need for proper awareness about tire usage and maintenance among the general population. It would also be appropriate to include such basic road safety information in the school curriculum at all levels.

“…The fuel consumption of a given car depends on [21,4,18]: cruise speed, driver acceleration aggressiveness, road slope, tire pressure. As stated in [21], fuel consumption per 100 km is optimal at the speed of 50-70 km/h.…”

The article presents a model of operational fuel consumption by a passenger car from the B segment, powered by a spark ignition engine. The model was developed using artificial neural networks simulated in the Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator (SNNS) package. The data for the model was obtained from longterm operational tests, during which data from the engine control unit were recorded via the OBDII diagnostic interface. The model is based on neural networks with two hidden layers, the size of which was selected using an original iterative algorithm. During the structure selection process, a total of 576 different networks were tested. The analysis of the obtained test errors made it possible to select the optimal structure of the 6-19-17-1 model. The network input values were: vehicle speed and acceleration, road slope, throttle opening degree, selected gear number and engine speed. The networks were trained using the efficient RPROP method. A correctly trained network, based on the set parameters, was able to forecast the instantaneous fuel consumption. These forecasts showed a high correlation with the measured values. Average fuel consumption calculated on their basis was close to the real value, which was calculated on the basis of two consecutive fuelings of the vehicle.

“…The value of tire pressure affects its stiffness [1,2], lifespan as well as the vehicle stopping distance [3,4,5], its directional stability and performance while running [6, 7, 8,]; additionally, it influences the noisiness of driving [9,10], the value of rolling resistance together with the value of fuel consumption [11,12] and many other aspects that affect the level of driving safety and economy [13,14,15]. Such value of tire pressure is not stable, since it varies throughout its lifetime according to various factors.…”

The value of tire pressure affects a number of important vehicle features. The article pays attention to assessing the impact of the change in the tire pressure on both the rolling resistance and fuel consumption. The measurements were performed with four different values of tire pressure. The impact of the change in the tire pressure on the rolling resistance was measured during the driving tests. In order to measure the rolling resistance during tests, the measurement methodology was devised and a device for measuring the rolling resistance was constructed. The measurement of the impact the tire pressure change on the fuel consumption was performed via vehicle dynamometer. The result showed a linear dependence between the tire pressure and rolling resistance. These results measured points to the importance of keeping the correct value of the tire pressure in relation to the fuel consumption.
