Abstract

A method for determining the start of movement of a motor vehicle equipped with a system for monitoring tire pressure of a motor vehicle. Communication between the receiver and each pressure monitoring system emitter being subjected to a Doppler effect so that a periodic component is inserted by the emitter into the signal emitted to the receiver. The method includes: acquiring the intermediate-frequency signal before demodulation by a processor to extract data carried by the radiofrequency signal, determining the FFT of the IF signal, determining the average value of the FFT of the IF signal over a preset duration, and determining whether there is a frequency deviation by comparing the instantaneous value of the fast Fourier transform to the average value of the fast Fourier transform, if so, determining whether the emitter for monitoring the pressure of a tire is moving and that the vehicle is moving.
