Welcome to the official website of LabCom I-TireLab, a joint laboratory dedicated to advancing connected mobility through data-driven scientific solutions. This collaboration is supported by Michelin, Université de Poitiers, Université Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble INP, and CNRS, through their research laboratories LIAS and GIPSA-Lab.
Our Vision
This project embodies a bold ambition: leveraging data and scientific tools to design more efficient, safer, and environmentally responsible connected mobility solutions.
Our Scientific and Technological Challenges
Our past collaborations have highlighted key challenges in developing these new solutions, both from a scientific and technological perspective:
- How can we best utilize onboard vehicle data?
- How can we ensure real-time performance using standard sensors and actuators?
- How can we translate theoretical advancements into real-world applications?
Our Structured Approach
To address these questions, we have defined a structured approach based on three key pillars:
- Developing strong theoretical foundations, backed by mathematical proofs to ensure the reliability of our solutions.
- Designing efficient algorithmic tools, capable of processing vehicle and industrial process data in real time.
- Deploying demonstrators, to validate our approaches in real-world conditions and showcase their added value.
Industrial Constraints and Real-World Implementation
Our solutions must meet strict industrial constraints:
- They must leverage existing sensors and actuators in passenger vehicles and Michelin’s manufacturing facilities.
- They must be compatible with real-time implementation, a critical requirement for operational viability.
Our Strengths: A Unique Collaboration
To tackle these challenges, we are fortunate to rely on:
- Michelin’s expertise, providing deep industry knowledge and insight into real-world requirements.
- Cutting-edge research from academic laboratories, offering methodological approaches and mathematical validation.
- Rich data sources from vehicles and industrial processes, serving as a key driver for innovation.
Impact and Objectives
Our work is not just about scientific exploration—it directly impacts crucial societal and industrial challenges:
- Enhancing road safety by enabling real-time evaluation of tire properties.
- Optimizing material manufacturing to improve industrial efficiency.
- Reducing the environmental footprint of Michelin products through optimized use of raw materials and resources.
We are embarking on an ambitious project at the intersection of research and industrial innovation. This joint effort lays the foundation for our roadmap and provides a platform for aligning our priorities.
