Machine simulator
The forecourt experience, end to end
A working simulation of the AiR unit: identify the vehicle, describe the load, review the manufacturer-approved targets, connect four hoses, and watch each channel measure, correct and stabilise independently.
Simulated real-world data being used for demonstration purposes

Inject a condition, then run a session to see how AiR communicates it. Faults are simulated only.
No sessions yet. Completed checks appear here and in the AiR app.
Evidence base
Why the machine behaves the way it does
Every rule in the session flow traces back to a published relationship or an approved table. The machine is a delivery mechanism for existing engineering knowledge, not a new theory of tyres.
Four channels because a tyre is an individual
Load distribution across an axle and around a vehicle is not symmetric once occupants, luggage and towing are added, and approved tables give front and rear values separately. Measuring and correcting one tyre at a time cannot deliver an axle specification.2025,1981
Closed-loop correction, not a timed fill
Load capacity is a function of achieved pressure, so the machine verifies each channel after settle rather than trusting a fill duration.2006

Everything the forecourt unit does, including the failures
The simulator is not a slideshow. It runs the same engine as the rest of the platform, so faults, temperature allowances and load profiles all behave the way they would on a real bay.
Injectable faults
0
Hose disconnect, valve fault, sensor drift, reserve loss and more.
Vehicle classes
0
Car, EV, van and motorcycle.
Channels simulated

Run a solo commuter session first, then repeat the same vehicle fully laden with a roof box and watch the rear target move and the reasoning change.
- Switch to the motorcycle to see ride-ready mode and two channels
- Inject a hose disconnect mid-cycle and watch the other channels hold
- Set warm tyres and a high ambient to see the temperature allowance applied
- Force a non-stabilising channel to see slow-puncture reporting
