Abstract:
1. An allocation method for a combined tire pressure monitoring system in motor vehicles, at least partly comprising wheels with pneumatic tires being equipped with pressure measuring modules, and each pressure measuring module records a tire inflation pressure or a value responsive to the tire inflation pressure and sends the latter to a receiving unit connected to an evaluating device by using a transmitting unit connected to the respective pressure measuring module together with an individual identification code (IDx) allocated to the respective pressure measuring module, and wherein signals about the rotational speed of each one wheel being sensed by means of wheel rotational speed sensors are transmitted to the evaluating device, and the installation positions y (VL: front left, VR: front right, HL: rear left, HR: rear right) of the wheels at the vehicle are known to the evaluating device, wherein the allocation method comprises the step of taking into consideration established probability values W_IDx_y, the probability values W_IDx_y describing a frequency distribution which indicates how often pressure measuring modules with the identification codes IDx are identified as pertaining to the installation positions y.
