Patent ID: 8362920

Claim:
A method of locating each of the wheels of a pair of twinned wheels mounted on one end of an axle of a vehicle of rotation axis, said method consisting of: equipping each twinned wheel with an electromagnetic receiving antenna and a microprocessor-based computation unit linked to said receiving antenna for measuring the electromagnetic field received by said receiving antenna; equipping the vehicle with a source of emission of an electromagnetic signal that is fixed relative to the two twinned wheels, said source being arranged and having a power that is suitable for generating the electromagnetic field covering an area that is passed through by the receiving antennas with which each of the twinned wheels is equipped when said wheels rotate; providing relative blocking rotation-wise of the two twinned wheels to allow for angularly offsetting of the receiving antennas with which each of said two twinned wheels are equipped for obtaining, after said wheels have been mounted on the axle, and in a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis, an offset by a predetermined angle, such that the angle is different from 0° and 180°, between the receiving antennas with which each of said two twinned wheels are equipped; and measuring the electromagnetic field received by each of the receiving antennas when the source of emission of the electromagnetic signal is activated, so as to deduce, from analysis of time offset between variations of the two measured electromagnetic fields, the location of each of the twinned wheels.
