The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ( NYSERDA ) has awarded $250,000 to International Electronic Machines ( IEM ) Corp. of Troy for the firm to continue developing equipment that inspects truck wheels and tires using infrared technology.
The technology, which has the potential to save fuel and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while limiting inspection wait time, would be used to inspect truck tires, brakes and bearings at highway speeds. If successful, the technology could be used to signal trucks with mechanical issues to pull over at inspection sites, while trucks with no problems would be allowed to keep driving.
The Smart Infrared Inspection System ( SIRIS ) looks for abnormal temperature variations, which indicate wear and possible damage. Early discovery of these problems prevents more significant damage
