Abstract
The invention relates to a method for monitoring the load of vehicle tires which are each contacting a pavement with a circumferential section during travel, by means of monitoring devices () which are mounted to the tire () and contain a transmitter and a generator which is driven by the flexion of the tire (), said flexion occurring during vehicle operation, wherein the generator generates a first voltage pulse each time it reaches the beginning of the circumferential section of the tire (), which is contacting the pavement, and generates a second voltage pulse each time it reaches the end of the circumferential section of the tire (), which is contacting the pavement, the time intervals (t) between first and second voltage pulses are measured, the time intervals (t) or a value calculated therefrom are/is compared with a reference value, and a warning signal is generated if a difference detected in this comparison exceeds a predefined value.
