Abstract:
An arrangement for position assignment of vehicle wheels (2, 4, 6, 8), in which means (3, 5, 7, 9) for detecting the number of rotations and turning direction of the wheel (2, 4, 6, 8) are assigned to each wheel (2, 4, 6, 8), and in which the vehicle (1) is provided with an evaluation unit (10) which, in the case of a curved trajectory of the vehicle (1), performs the following vehicle position assignments with reference to the number of rotations and turning directions detected for each wheel (2, 4, 6, 8):the wheel (2, 4, 6, 8) having the highest number of rotations is situated at the front of the vehicle (1), and the position at the front left or at the front right is determined from the turning direction, the wheel (2, 4, 6, 8) having the lowest number of rotations is situated at the rear of the vehicle (1), and the position at the front left or at the front right is determined from the turning direction, the position assignments of the other two wheels (2, 4, 6, 8) are determined from their turning direction.
