The invention relates to a method for associating tire sensor modules () with a trailer vehicle (), having at least the following steps: According to the invention, each tire sensor module () detects a wheel position associated with the respective tire sensor module () and a trailer axle configuration, so that for an accepted tire sensor module () the wheel position and the trailer axle configuration can be taken as a basis for making a positional association on the driver's own trailer vehicle ().

A method is for determining a tire characteristic influencing variable and includes: a) detecting an acceleration of a measurement point on a tire inner side of a vehicle tire, wherein a deviation, caused by contact of the vehicle tire with a roadway, of the acceleration of the measurement point within an observation window is detected, b) deriving at least one analytical characteristic variable which is characteristic of the detected acceleration, wherein the at least one analytical characteristic variable characterizes the non-periodic profile of the detected acceleration within one tire rotation, c) determining at least one tire characteristic influencing variable in a manner dependent on the at least one analytical characteristic variable, wherein a mathematical mapping yields the dependency between the analytical characteristic variable and the tire characteristic influencing variable, wherein the mathematical mapping assigns at least one tire characteristic influencing variable to the at least one derived analytical characteristic variable.

A method is for determining a profile depth of a tire profile. The method includes at least the following steps: a) detecting an acceleration of a measurement point on a tire inner side of a vehicle tire, wherein a deviation, caused by contact of the vehicle tire with a roadway, of the acceleration of the measurement point within an observation window is detected, b) deriving at least one analytical characteristic variable which is characteristic of the profile of the detected acceleration, wherein the at least one analytical characteristic variable characterizes the non-periodic profile of the detected acceleration within one tire rotation, c) determining the profile depth in a manner dependent on the at least one analytical characteristic variable, wherein a calibration curve yields the dependency between the analytical characteristic variable and the profile depth, and the calibration curve assigns a profile depth to the derived analytical characteristic variable.

A method is for monitoring tire states and/or sensor states. The method includes the steps: a) capturing whether at least one tire sensor module for measuring tire states and/or sensor states is present in a monitoring region; b) determining whether the captured tire sensor module is unknown; c) evaluating data messages from the at least one captured and unknown tire sensor module, the evaluation including at least comparing at least one tire state transmitted via the data message with a limit value therefor and/or monitoring a sensor state of the tire sensor module transmitted via the data message; and, d) outputting a warning signal if a tire state exceeds or undershoots the respective limit value in order to indicate that a tire state of a tire assigned to the at least one unknown tire sensor module is critical and/or if a critical sensor state is detected.

Method for monitoring tire states and/or sensor states and a monitoring system therefor

A method via which tire modules can be associated with tire positions on a vehicle includes: inputting vehicle data and tire information via a mobile detecting device; analyzing the input information via the detecting device; providing an instruction to the user of the detecting device indicating the first tire for performing a first tire module identification; positioning the detecting device near the first tire which is specified by the detecting device; activating an inquiry signal having a transmission frequency specified by the detecting device and a specified signal amplitude to a tire module arranged in the tire, wherein the tire module includes at least one sensor for tire-pressure monitoring; capturing a response signal from the tire module, wherein the response includes the identification data of the tire module; and, evaluating the response signal of the tire module and associating the identified tire module with a tire position.

A sensor transponder () with at least one acceleration sensor is arranged on the inner side of a running surface () of a tire (). The signals from the acceleration sensor are compared with prespecified threshold values and then integrated, whereby following the formation of a quotient, the tire contact length () is calculated independently of the velocity.
