Abstract:
1. Method for allocating first transmitters of a tire monitoring system, said tire monitoring system comprising a wheel unit comprising a sensor, a first transmitter, which can be triggered, and a sending antenna on each of N wheels arranged on L axles of a vehicle according to a predetermined axle formula, at least one receiving antenna on the vehicle body associated to the first transmitters and an electronic receiver and evaluation system, connected to the at least one receiving antenna by allocating an identifier characteristic of a particular wheel to its respective first transmitter, by emitting data telegrams, which contain the identifier, in response to a triggering action of second transmitters which serve as trigger transmitters, and by passing on such data telegrams to the electronic receiver and evaluation system, wherein the number n of the trigger transmitters arranged on the vehicle is smaller than the number A of the axle positions, comprising the steps of associating each axle position of the vehicle to a triggering range of at least one of the n trigger transmitters, arranging and/or configuring the trigger transmitters so that at least one axle position is associated to the triggering range of at least two trigger transmitters,
