Motor vehicle wheel e.g. front wheel, position locating method, involves measuring signal at terminals of magnetic sensor during vehicle movement for delivering another signal representing magnetic field variations detected by sensor

摘要

The method involves fixing a magnet (12) with respect to a wheel (2) of a motor vehicle (1) for generating a magnetic field covering a zone traversed by a magnetic sensor (15) during rotation of the wheel. A signal at terminals of the sensor is measured during vehicle movement for delivering a signal representing magnetic field variations detected by the sensor. The delivered signal is identified to acquire wheel position information. An independent claim is also included for a device for locating a position of a wheel of a vehicle.
