Description

This disclosure relates to a retreading management system, a retreading management device, a method for identifying retreading facilities, and a program. Conventionally, retreaded tires are known in which the tread portion of a tire that has reached the end of its primary lifespan is replaced with new tread rubber to restore the tire's function (see Patent Document 1). These retreaded tires are economical and environmentally friendly, and their adoption rate has been increasing in recent years. The number of businesses (installation companies) capable of performing retreaded tire installation is also increasing. These retreaded tires are also referred to as reconditioned tires or recycled tires.

The embodiments of this disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings as appropriate. Note that the embodiments described below are merely examples of the embodiments of this disclosure and do not limit the technical scope of this disclosure. Figure 1 is a network diagram showing the configuration of a retread management system 100 (hereinafter simply referred to as "management system 100") according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Note that management system 100 is an example of the retread system described in this disclosure. The management system 100 is configured to determine the retread applicable to the tire 1 (see Figure 2) used for driving the vehicle 50, identify a retreading shop (an example of a retreading business in this disclosure) capable of applying the retread to the tire 1, and present information about the retreading shop. For example, a user of vehicle 50 (a user of the management system 100) launches a predetermined application on their information terminal 20 and registers information about the tire 1 mounted on vehicle 50 (tire information, tire usage status information, desired conditions information, etc.) in the application. Based on the registered information, the management system 100 determines the retread tread applicable to tire 1, identifies a retreading shop capable of applying the retread to tire 1, and displays the information of the retreading shop on the information terminal 20. Tire 1 can be any type of tire as long as it has a tread portion in contact with the road surface. For example, it may be a pneumatic tire filled with compressed air, or a non-pneumatic tire not filled with compressed air. Furthermore, tire 1 may be a retreaded tire that has already undergone retreading. The retreaded tread is, for example, a component that replaces the tread portion of a pneumatic tire to be retreaded when a wear indicator or similar mark appears on the sur
