Method for assigning wheels of a motor vehicle to the respective vehicle axle
First Claim
1. A method for allocating wheels of a motor vehicle to a respective vehicle axle, each of said wheels including an inflation tire whose tire pressure is monitored by a tire pressure monitoring device including at least one transmitting module in each wheel, and at least one receiving module arranged at or in the vehicle and one evaluation module, with each transmitting module transmitting tire pressure information and a wheel-specific identification number to the receiving module, which are sent to an evaluation process in the evaluation module,wherein tire pressure changes of the wheels are considered for the allocation, and the wheels having almost identical tire pressure changes are allocated to one vehicle axle by taking into account a vehicle-specific axle load.
