Abstract
A computer for a motor vehicle. The vehicle including a plurality of wheels, at least one of the wheels including a sensor for measuring at least one value of a “pitch” parameter, enabling the computer to determine a “pitch” coordinate of the sensor along a predetermined “pitch” axis orthogonal to the direction of movement of the vehicle and parallel to the plane of the road. The computer being capable of receiving from the sensor at least one value of the pitch parameter, determining at least one pitch coordinate of the sensor on the basis of the at least one value received, detecting a geometric anomaly in the wheel including the sensor when at least one determined pitch coordinate is outside a first predetermined range of values of coordinates on the pitch axis.
