摘要： According to the present invention, a wheel identifying apparatus includes a plurality of transceivers, each of which is located on one of a plurality of wheels of a vehicle, a triggering device, a receiver, and a wheel identifier. The triggering device is located on a body of the vehicle at different distances from the transceivers and works to transmit a trigger signal. Each of the transceivers works to receive the trigger signal, determine the strength of the trigger signal thereat, correct the determined strength using a correction value, and transmit a response signal indicative of the corrected strength. The receiver works to receive all the response signals transmitted by the transceivers. The wheel identifier works to identify, for each of the response signals received by the receiver, the wheel on which the transceiver having transmitted the response signal is located based on the corrected strength indicated by the response signal.

摘要： In the automotive industry that there is an increasing need for automatic tire pressure checking systems. One challenge here is to identify the positions of the tires on the vehicle. This is normally programmed-in it at the factory at the end of the production line. The tires however mostly do not remain in the same position during their lifetime. The invention allows a wheel unit to be automatically assigned to its wheel position on the motor vehicle. To this end the attenuation along a transmit path from a wheel unit to a transmission unit or receiving unit on the motor vehicle is determined. The attenuation determined is a characteristic value which allows conclusions to be drawn about the position of a wheel unit. An assignment by way of the attenuation has the advantage that the wheel unit is independent of variations in the transmit power of the transmission unit.

摘要： In order to determine the tire positions or wheel positions automatically while the vehicle is in operation, the attenuation along a transmission path from the tire to a fixed position on the vehicle is measured and compared with stored values. Systems of this kind are error prone when other vehicles using similar systems are located in the receiving range. In order to increase the reliability of such a system it is useful to determine the attenuation along the transmission paths between the wheel units and compare it with known values. Toward that end, the novel wheel unit enables data to be provided by way of which the attenuation of the transmission path from one wheel unit to another wheel unit can be determined.
