Method for allocating the positions of the tyres in a tyre monitoring system

摘要

A method is used to identify a plurality of tires (14-22) of a motor vehicle (12) by location allowing a sensed parameter of each of the plurality of tires (14-22) to be monitored. The method incorporates the use of a central receiver (28), a plurality of sensors (32), a plurality of transmitters (56) and a mobile training unit (34). The method includes the steps of moving the mobile training unit (86) to a location adjacent one of the plurality of tires (14-22). Once there, the operator inputs manually the location of one of the plurality of tires (14-22) with respect to the motor vehicle (12). The central receiver (28) receives an identification signal from one of the plurality of transmitters (56). The identification signal is paired with the location in the mobile training unit (34) to create paired data (94). The method concludes with transmitting the paired data (98) from the mobile training unit (34) to the central receiver (28) allowing the central receiver (28) to identify one of the plurality of tires (14-22) by the paired data when the transmitter of one of the plurality of tires (14-22) transmits a signal based on the identification signal and the parameter sensed by one of the plurality of sensors (32). <IMAGE>
