iAIR® INTELLIGENT PNEUMATICS

AKTV8’s journey began by developing an integrated control system for air suspension. Our core technology, iAir® incorporates electronics, sensors, and pneumatic control into one automotive-grade controller. The system uses CAN and/or Bluetooth to communicate with a user interface or mobile app for configuration, diagnostics, alerts, and over-the-air software updates.

Unlike other control systems, iAir® is an integrated “made-easy” solution for the commercial truck, RV, automotive and beyond.

Software

  • The iAir® software is architected to be modular, enabling rapid deployment of new applications.
  • Base software is written in C++ while the modelbased application code is developed in MATLAB Simulink.
  • Software development to ISO26262 standards for safety.
  • In-house validation methods for closed loop estimation of height control and pressure control algorithms for numerous iAir® applications.

User Interface (HMI) and Mobile App

  • AKTV8 internally develops iOS and Android based mobile apps as a user interface to iAir®.
  • The tool also serves as a firmware over the air reflashing tool for iAir®.
  • Bluetooth capability can be limited and or disabled for security.
  • For on-vehicle applications, AKTV8 has developed a custom capacitive touch LCD with CAN communication that can be externally mounted.
