1. A method for ascertaining a rotational direction of a rotating body, comprising:
- measuring, in each of multiple measurements, one rotational direction and one rotational speed value indicating the rotational frequency of the rotating body;
comparing the rotational speed values of the multiple measurements to each other; and
ascertaining the rotational direction of the rotating body based on the measured rotational directions and the comparison of the rotational speed values.

Abstract
In a method for ascertaining a rotational direction of a rotating body, one rotational direction and one rotational speed value which indicates the rotational frequency of the rotating body are ascertained in each of multiple measurements. The rotational speed values of the multiple measurements are compared to each other, and a rotational direction of the rotating body is ascertained from the measured rotational directions and the comparison of the rotational speed values.

13. A wheel sensor module for a vehicle wheel, comprising:
-
two acceleration sensor devices configured to measure two accelerations at least one of (a) in different directions and (b) in different places on the vehicle wheel, wherein the two acceleration sensor devices are configured to perform multiple measurements and output measured acceleration values for the multiple measurements; and a control device configured to receive the measured acceleration values for the multiple measurements and ascertain rotational speed values and rotational directions of the vehicle wheel, wherein the control device is configured to compare the ascertained rotational speed values and the ascertained rotational directions of the multiple measurements to each other, and wherein the control device is configured to ascertain an overall rotational direction of the vehicle wheel as a function of the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (14)
