Method for pairing a measurement module with its associated wheel with filtering of the angular position
A method for pairing a measurement module with a wheel of a motor vehicle. The wheel revolution frequency value and the total number of acquisitions are sent with the emission angle value to the computer that stored a current angular position for at least one wheel and a series of angular positions. The computer selects angular positions sampled from a series of angular positions up to a total number of acquisitions, then filters the wheel revolution frequency, which filtering is similar to the filtering performed in the measurement module in order to obtain a sampled and filtered angular position and is then compared with the angular position with, for a difference of less than an experimentally predetermined percentage, a validation of the phase shift between the emission angles of the signals of the measurement module and the angular positions.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING A LOOSENED BOLTED WHEEL JOINT ON A WHEEL
A method for detecting a loosened bolted wheel joint on a wheel of a vehicle. The angular velocity of a hub of the wheel is evaluated. A periodic wheel modulation of the angular velocity is ascertained. An oscillation of the wheel generated due to the loosened bolted wheel joint is detected, using a step-change in a phase angle of the modulation by an expected angular increment, which is a function of the number of bolts.
Universal Electronic Hubodometer
A universal electronic hubodometer with a single sensor system and method capable of electronically monitoring and/or processing the rotations of an object (e.g., a hubcap, wheel-hub, wheel, or tire) and wirelessly communicating any measured data to a mobile device (e.g., a mobile phone, PDA, cell phone, smartphone, or tablet). In one embodiment the universal electronic hubodometer may be capable of electronically determining the revolutions of an object using a single accelerometer while managing to overcome the problems of current hubodometers.
