BANF’s smart tires for trucks promise to save fuel and lives

Tire health has a huge impact on a truck’s fuel efficiency and safety on the road. BANF uses sensors to collect data on tire pressure, temperature, tread wear, wheel alignment, and even lug nut stability. That data is analyzed using machine learning to provide drivers and fleet managers with insights about not only tire health, but also cargo load measurement and road surface conditions. BANF, which is competing in TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield, has a somewhat different solution from others in the industry.
