System and method for tire pressure monitoring with automatic tire location recognition

In a system for remote monitoring of tire pressure in a vehicle having front tires comprising a right tire and a left tire, and rear tires comprising a right tire and a left tire, a system for automatically identifying tire location comprising:

• a plurality of transmitters, each transmitter for mounting in one of the tires, each transmitter for transmitting tire information signals conveying tire pressure data, as well as tire temperature data and tire rotation direction data associated therewith;
• and
• a controller for mounting on the vehicle for determining whether pressure data conveyed by a tire information signal is associated with a front tire or a rear tire based on the associated temperature data, and for determining whether pressure data conveyed by a tire information signal is associated with a right tire or a left tire based on the associated rotation direction data.
