The invention relates to a method for self-tracking of a data acquisition sensor equipping a wheel including a tire on a vehicle comprising a plurality of wheels (200) and being equipped with a system comprising an electronic unit (300) for a data acquisition sensor placed in each tire equipped with a radio-frequency transmitter for the purpose of the wireless transmission of said data to a central transmission and reception module (100) placed on the axle or frame of the vehicle, with the central transmission and reception module (100) receiving and decoding the information signals issued by the transmitters of each wheel, each electronic unit (300) being equipped to measure acceleration. The method is remarkable in that it consists of determining the front and rear of a tire by measuring the acceleration.

The invention concerns a fixing device for fixing a measuring sensor, such as a tire pressure sensor inside a tire cavity on a vehicle rim, in particular utility vehicle rim, comprising a band-shaped tension belt, which carries a receiving device for the measuring sensor: The invention is characterized in that the tension belt contains at a first end an eyelet for threading a second end opposite the first end, and starting from the second end and away from the first end on the surface of the tension belt, two textile fields are positioned behind one another in the longitudinal direction of the tension belt, one of which is fitted with barbed hooks and the other with loops to form together a Velcro fastener after folding the textile fields together on top of each other.

A device (D), for clamping an electronic box (B) on a tyre rim (J), comprises an electronic box (B) of a pressure and/or temperature sensor, at least one flexible tie (200) making at least one loop around the rim (J) and at least one means for tensioning said flexible tie, remarkable in that said tensioning means comprises a lever (110) mounted so as to be able to pivot with respect to a plate (120) that comes into abutment on the rim (J), said lever (110) passing from a raised position to a position folded down against the plate (120), the raised position allowing mounting of the ends (210 and 220) and the folded-down position tensioning said flexible tie (200) for the purpose of fixing the box (B) to the rim.

A smart tag assembly is designed for mounting on an object to be tracked. The smart tag assembly comprises a multiple layer RFID laminate adapted for electronically storing and processing data, and wireless communicating data when interrogated by an RFID reader. The laminate comprises an RFID inlay including a microchip and antenna formed with a substrate, and laminated between an outside label cover and backing. A low-profile tag carrier defines a recessed pocket designed for receiving and holding the RFID laminate.

A fixing element adapted for a tire pressure monitoring device includes a base, a locking portion, and two stop blocks. The base includes a first plate and two second plates. The second plates are connected to two corresponding lateral sides of the first plate respectively to give the base an elongated shape. The bottom side of the base can be tightly attached to the rim of a wheel. The body portion of each second plate is penetrated by an aperture through which an annular member can pass. The locking portion has a through hole. A fixing member can pass through the through hole and be fixed to the tire pressure monitoring device. The two stop blocks are provided on the two second plates of the base respectively. The fixing element allows the tire pressure monitoring device to stay in a fixed state.
