Abstract
A method for locating the longitudinal position, on the front end or rear end of a vehicle with engine, of wheels fitted with an electronic module. Each electronic module incorporates elements for measuring vibrations stressing the corresponding wheel and resulting from rotation of the engine. First, a spectral analysis is performed in a preliminary phase, with the engine running, of signals delivered by the respective measurement elements of wheels mounted on the front end and the rear end, to establish a criterion for differentiating the signals by a frequency offset between these signals. Locating the longitudinal position of the wheels includes carrying out a spectral analysis of the signals delivered by the different measurement elements, with the engine running, and deducing from the frequency offset between the signals an indication of the longitudinal position of each wheel.
