Abstract

Embodiments provide a device, a system, a method and a computer program for locating a plurality of positions of a plurality of wheels on a vehicle. The device comprises an input to obtain information related to a position of one wheel from the plurality of wheels, and a detector to obtain information related to rotational frequencies of the one wheel and of at least one other wheel of the plurality of wheels. The device further comprises a locator coupled to the input and to the detector. The locator is configured to determine information related to the position of the at least one other wheel based on the information related to the position of the one wheel and based on the information related to the rotational frequencies. Additionally or alternatively, an embodiment of the device may comprise one or more inputs to obtain information related to rotational frequencies of the plurality of wheels and information related to accelerations at the plurality of wheels. The device may further comprise a locator coupled to the one or more inputs. The locator is configured to determine the plurality of positions of the plurality of wheels based on the information related to the rotational …
