At the Logistics Expo 2008, Link Earth demonstrated the TPChecker which is a sensor that checks air pressure and air temperature in the wheels of cars and trucks and informs the driver in real time of the tires status.  The sensor is easily attached to the rim of the tire and sends information through a wireless connection to the driver.  If there are any problems the, the TPCheckers alarm sounds.  By knowing the tire's air pressure and air temperature, the driver can get better gas mileage, avoid accidents due to tires bursting and prevent flats or other tire problems.
