Claim:
1. A system for dynamically reading data from transponders of tires disposed laterally on a same side of a vehicle, the system comprising: system antennas arranged to receive data transmitted by the transponders of the tires; a sensor for each of the system antennas, each sensor being positioned upstream of an effective reading area covered by a corresponding system antenna, and each sensor being structured to emit a tire-passage signal associated with passage of a tire of the vehicle; a reader arranged to couple to the system antennas to read and store the data from the transponders; a controllable switch positioned between the system antennas and the reader to enable a selective coupling between the reader and each of the system antennas; and a logic controller programmed to control the switch as a function of the tire-passage signals emitted by the sensors, wherein each of the system antennas has an effective reading distance in a direction of travel of the vehicle, with a spacing between two of the system antennas being equal to or less than half of a sum of the effective reading distances of the two of the system antennas.
