MILAN, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Italian tyremaker Pirelli
 PIRC.MI  and German tech group Robert Bosch GMBH will jointly
develop a software-based "intelligent tyre" technology, the two
companies said Tuesday.
    The new system aims to improve safety, comfort,
sustainability and driving dynamics, combining Pirelli's
tyre-integrated sensors and Bosch' hardware and software
expertise.
    "It will be possible to collect, process, and transmit
real-time tyre data to provide parameters for the vehicle's
electronic control system," the two companies said.
    In an initial joint project, Bosch developed a stability
control application for Pirelli tyres fitted on Pagani Italian
supercars, they added in the statement.
    Pirelli and Bosch did not provide financial details for
their agreement.
