The APOLLO objectives are: 
  1. to provide vehicle and tyre manufactures new products to increase traffic safety
  2. to enable improvements for chassis control systems and ADAS
  3. to enable the implementation of new services concerning tyre and road conditions for users both inside and outside the vehicle

The objectives are met by integrating innovative sensors into tyres for monitoring

tyre condition
road condition 
tyre-road interaction

and developing 

new solutions for wireless communication between tyre and vehicle
a batteryless power-supply

Finally, an intelligent tyre system is constructed by integrating all electronic components. 

This enables tyre data to be transmitted and converted to a usable form for vehicle systems, and making relevant tyre and road information available both to drivers and other users like infrastructure maintainers, vehicle and tyre suppliers, fleet operators and service providers.
