Abstract

Systems/techniques that facilitate determining suitability of tires for vehicle operation on a road are provided. In various embodiments, a system can detect road surface conditions and restrictions from road signs by external sensors. In various aspects, the system can determine attributes of vehicle tires by internal sensors. In various embodiments, the system can determine if a vehicle is suitable to drive on a road, based on the determined tire attributes, detected restrictions, and detected road surface conditions. Furthermore, the system can determine if a vehicle is suitable to drive on a road based on permit statuses of the vehicle or can determine potential fees that can accumulate from driving on a road with the determined tire attributes. In various instances, the system can initiate, in response to a determination that the vehicle is not suitable to drive on the road, an electronic notification on a vehicle display.
