1. A method for the automatic identification of a type of vehicle on a test stand, comprising the steps:
- a) providing predetermined parameters that characterize the type of vehicle;
b) providing a test stand which has a plurality of sensors;
c) sensing of at least areas of a tire on the test stand;
d) determining at least one characteristic of the vehicle or of the tire from values, at least some of which have been sensed by the sensors;
e) comparing the characteristics determined in Step d) with the predetermined parameters; and
f) classifying the type of vehicle on the basis of the result from Step e) or, if it is not possible to classify the type of vehicle on account of a lack of coherence of characteristics with the parameters, defining parameters for a new vehicle model.

Abstract
A method for automatically identifying a type of vehicle on a test stand includes: a) supplying predetermined parameters characterizing the type of vehicle; b) providing a test stand encompassing a plurality of sensors; c) sensing at least some areas of a tire on the test stand; and d) determining at least one tire property from values sensed by means of at least some of the sensors. The properties determined in step d) are compared with the predetermined parameters, and the type of vehicle is assigned on that basis, or parameters of a new type of vehicle are defined if the properties fail to match the parameters.
