Abstract
A method and device for assigning a vehicle wheel to axles having different wheel sizes. The method includes measuring the acceleration “a” sensed by an acceleration sensor of a wheel electronic system in a wheel. The measured acceleration value is transmitted to an evaluation unit, which compares the measured acceleration value “a” with a standard value stored in a memory for a standard wheel. The evaluation unit assigns the vehicle wheel to an axle as a function of the comparison result. The method and device are particularly suited to determining lift axles for trucks.
