1. A method for determining the force at the hub of a wheel of a vehicle while traveling, said wheel comprising a rim and at least one deformation sensor directly associated with said rim in at least one predetermined position and arranged according to at least one predetermined orientation, comprising the steps of:

  • detecting at least one deformation component of said rim during travel through said at least one deformation sensor; and

    applying to said at least one deformation component, during travel, a correlation parameter characteristic of said rim, between the force at the hub and the relative deformation of said rim to determine at least one force component at the hub correlated with said at least one deformation component of said rim.
