Objective
Develop algorithms that leverage Tire-Mounted Sensor data to advance NIRA’s indirect tire pressure monitoring (TPI) and wheel/road understanding.
Keywords: tire oscillation modes, signal processing, sensor fusion, MATLAB, machine learning, statistical modeling
Summary
Tire-Mounted Sensors (TMS) are a variant of direct tire pressure sensors attached to the inner tire belt, providing rich, high-bandwidth measurements close to the tire–road interface. NIRA is exploring TMS to support R&D for indirect TPMS and emerging product concepts. In this thesis, you will investigate how TMS can...
Enable continuous estimation of tire normal forces and load transfer
Augment our large-scale Road Roughness pipeline either by improving development workflows or serving as a high-quality reference
Deepen understanding of tire oscillation modes to enhance pressure-loss detection and modeling
The work combines theory, simulation, and experiments to deliver robust, vehicle-ready algorithms under realistic driving conditions (dynamic maneuvers, speed ranges, surfaces, and temperatures)
Your profile
We are looking for an engineering student who is studying a master's program with a specialization in Y, D, M, E, F, Z, or equivalent. Knowledge within any of the following areas is beneficial:
We expect you to have a solid academic record, be driven, take initiative, and work independently. You will be carrying out the thesis at our head office in Linköping.
We are looking forward to your application! Do not forget to include a personal letter, CV, and course listing with grades. We will be considering applications on a rolling basis. The earliest expected start date is January 2026.
About NIRA
At NIRA Dynamics, we believe in making roads safer by delivering intelligent software solutions directly into passenger cars. Within our Wheel Safety Insights (WSI) department, we develop advanced in-vehicle algorithms that enhance safety, reliability, and performance — helping cars better understand their wheels, tires, and the road beneath them. Just like our vision of next level of mobility includes all people and all modes of travel, our workplace thrives on diversity and inclusion. The broader the mix of experiences and perspectives we have, the stronger we are in shaping a safer and more sustainable transportation system for everyone.
