A method for pairing a measurement module with a wheel of a vehicle including, for each angular orientation signal associated with a specific wheel received by a computer, the steps of transmitting, by the computer, a measurement signal or a request to transmit a measurement signal to each module, measuring, by the computer or each module, a value of at least one parameter differentiating the signal, performing repetitions of the transmissions of measurement signals for each angular orientation signal received by the computer and storing values of the parameter, pairing a specific wheel with a measurement module when the values are substantially constant with a variation of less than 10% for the values, each wheel being associated with a module at the end of the method.
A method for pairing a measurement module with a wheel of a motor vehicle comprising a plurality of wheels, said method being implemented by a computer on board said vehicle, said measurement module being installed in one of the wheels of the vehicle and being capable of transmitting and receiving, respectively, to or from the computer, at least one measurement signal received or transmitted by the computer in the form of a frame of which at least one differentiation parameter varies according to the position of the measurement module relative to the computer, the computer also receiving, periodically, orientation signals representative of an angular orientation of each of the wheels, with a step of measuring, by one from between the computer and each measurement module, a value of said at least one differentiation parameter of the measurement signal transmitted to each measurement module or the computer, the pairing method comprising, for each angular orientation signal associated with a specific wheel received by the computer:
A set of a computer and measurement modules associated, respectively, with a wheel of a motor vehicle for the implementation of a method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, each measurement module having means for transmitting and receiving measurement signals received or transmitted by the computer, the computer having, on the one hand, means for transmitting and receiving signals received or transmitted by each measurement module and, on the other hand, means for receiving orientation signals representative of the angular orientation of each of the wheels, each measurement module comprising means for storing a respective identifier and means for transmitting its respective identifier to the computer, wherein the computer or each measurement module comprises means for measuring a value of said at least one differentiation parameter of a measurement signal transmitted by the transmission means of each measurement module to the computer or by the transmission means of the computer to each measurement module in association with an orientation signal representative of the angular orientation of each of the wheels, means for storing a predetermined number of repetitions of the measurement signals and the values of said at least one differentiation parameter for each of the repetitions, the computer or each measurement module comprising means for determining a pairing of a wheel with a specific measurement module for which the measurement signals transmitted or received by this measurement module for orientation signals specific to a wheel have values of said at least one differentiation parameter that are substantially constant with a variation of less than 10% for a majority of said values for a total number of repetitions having reached the predetermined number.
