Abstract
A handling machine performs a method for updating a database for managing a fleet of vehicles, during replacement of a tire on a vehicle that includes a plurality of predetermined spatial zones. The database includes a tire identifier for each tire of the vehicle and a zone identifier for each predetermined spatial zone. Each of the tire identifiers is associated with a corresponding one of the zone identifiers in the database. A zone identifier of a spatial zone containing a tire is determined when first predetermined conditions are met, and a tire identifier of the tire is determined when second predetermined conditions are met. An association in the database between a zone identifier and a tire identifier is updated if at least the first and second predetermined conditions are met simultaneously at least once.
