1. A method for estimating the reliability of measurements made periodically by multi-function sensors, known as WFC sensors (12), of tires (1) of wheels (R1 to R4) of a vehicle traveling on a road (2), which comprises, in succession:

  • a step of extracting (100), from a system for monitoring the vehicle (3, 8) in a given environment for the purpose of adapting its behavior to this environment, periodic data on the vehicle body displacement heights at the position of each wheel (DR), these data being known as wheel displacement data, indicating a state of the variations of the profile of the road on which the vehicle is traveling,a step of correlating (140, 240) these wheel displacement data (DR) with the values of at least one parameter (10) sensitive to the variations in profile of the road (2) for a given application, these values being deduced from the measurements (M12) made by the WFC sensors on each wheel (R1 to R4) at the same instants, anda step of taking into account the consistency between the displacement data (DR) and the values of the parameter (10) correlated in the preceding step, by using decision criteria (150), with the aim of deducing a decision on the reliability of a given set of values of the parameter deduced from the measurements of the WFC sensors.
