Abstract

Embodiments provide a device, a tire pressure measurement system, a tire, a vehicle, a method and a computer program for determining information indicating a length of a footprint of the tire. The device for determining information indicating a length of a footprint of a tire includes an input for a signal from a magnetic earth field sensor configured to generate the signal indicating a measured magnetic earth field. The device further includes a processing module, which is configured to determine the information indicating the length of the footprint of the tire based on the signal indicating the measured magnetic earth field.
