Analysis of the theory of the car and its basic elements makes it possible to state the exceptional importance of the pneumatic tire, which provides movement during the operation of the vehicle. The most important parameter that characterizes the condition of the pneumatic tire is the pressure, which can fluctuate during movement, but, at the same time, is a controlled parameter due to the possibility of inflating the tire in the presence of special devices during movement. Methodology. The purpose of the article is a reasonable prospect of creating new models of devices for tire pressure regulation in trucks. To achieve this goal, the methods of hypothesis, mathematical modeling to confirm it, methods of analysis, generalization were used. Results. The article proves that under the influence of the load on the wheel, the air temperature in the tires will be different and, accordingly, there will be differences in the pressure parameters in the pneumatic tires of trucks. In this regard, the solution to the issue of tire pressure regulation in trucks should be considered from the standpoint of differentiated pressure regulation, taking into account the difference in pressure parameters, which allows pumping each individual tire without a forced stop. Originality. The scientific novelty of the article is that it substantiates the promising direction of development of pressure monitoring devices in truck tires based on the analysis of the theoretical model of heating the pneumatic tires. Practical value. The practical significance of the study is that the article identifies the need to change approaches to pressure regulation based on the transition from centralized pumping systems to pumping systems based on a differentiated approach to individual air pressure control systems in truck tires.
