A tire air filling device according to one embodiment includes a cylinder having a first opening communicating with a tire; and a weight that has an air flow hole through which air to be supplied to the tire passes, and that moves in an axial direction of the cylinder upon a receipt of a centrifugal force, to supply the air from the first opening to the tire. The tire air filling device includes a weight airtight member interposed between the weight and an inner surface of the cylinder; and a weight spring that biases the weight to a side opposite to the tire. The cylinder has a second opening on a side opposite to the first opening, and a cap that is detachably attached to the second opening is provided.

A first tire pressure sensor module is configured to provide information related to a pressure of a tire of a vehicle and comprises a pressure sensor configured to determine the information related to the pressure of the tire. The pressure module further includes a controller configured to selectively operate the tire pressure sensor module in an active state and in an inactive state, wherein an energy consumption of the tire pressure sensor module is lower in the inactive state than in the active state. The controller is further configured to control an output of the information related to the pressure of the tire in the active state, and operate the tire pressure sensor module in the inactive state based on determining that information related to a velocity of the tire indicates a velocity above a threshold.

A smart tag assembly is designed for mounting on an object to be tracked. The smart tag assembly comprises a multiple layer RFID laminate adapted for electronically storing and processing data, and wireless communicating data when interrogated by an RFID reader.
