Michelin and Brembo will exchange real-time data between Michelin’s connected solutions software.
Brembo and Michelin have signed a global agreement to enhance vehicle performance and improve safety and comfort standards. This Brembo and Michelin collaboration on braking systems and AI integration will maximize vehicle efficiency and safety, the companies said.
The Brembo and Michelin collaboration will exchange real-time data between Michelin’s connected solutions software. This software provides tire grip data, and Brembo’s SENSIFY braking system. This data exchange will enable engineers to fine-tune the braking system with precision, according to the companies.
Michelin’s Connected Solutions and Tyre Data Analysis
Michelin’s connected solutions rely on the company’s expertise in tyre physics modeling and simulation. The software portfolio provides real-time information on tyre wear, load, and grip, and works with all tyre brands.
“We are thrilled to join forces with a brand like Brembo. Allowing customers to keep their tires in use as long as possible with total peace of mind is a core objective of Michelin,” said Serge Lafon, President of the Business Line Automotive Original Equipment at Michelin. “Together, Michelin and Brembo are building a unique solution for the vehicles of the future, developed today by the car makers.”
Brembo’s SENSIFY System and AI-Driven Braking
Brembo designed the SENSIFY system for modern vehicles. It combines braking components with AI, algorithms, and sensors to control each wheel independently, Brembo said.
“At Brembo, we believe in the power of technology and artificial intelligence,” said Daniele Schillaci, CEO of Brembo. “In fact, we are increasingly becoming a company combining software capabilities with our expertise in the corner of the vehicle, mastering calipers, discs and friction materials with a unique know-how. SENSIFY represents the new standard in braking that will target a zero accidents vision.”
Brembo and Michelin AI Collaboration Testing
During initial tests, the integration of Michelin’s tyre models with Brembo’s braking models reduced braking distances by up to four meters during ABS events, the companies said. The system also showed quicker response times, minimised traction loss, improved lateral stability, and no wheel locking.
