Abstract

In a wheel position identifying device for a vehicle, transmitters are disposed in wheels, respectively. Each of the transmitters has a dual axis acceleration sensor and a control unit. The dual axis acceleration sensor detects a normal-direction acceleration and a tangential-direction acceleration of the wheel associated with the transmitter. The control unit determines whether the wheel associated with the transmitter is a right wheel or a left wheel based on a sign of a product of a time differential value of the normal-direction acceleration and the tangential-direction acceleration, and stores data regarding a determination result in a frame. A receiver receives the frame from each transmitter and identifies a position of the transmitter based on the data stored in the frame. The wheel position identifying device is for example employed to a tire pressure detecting apparatus.
