Abstract

A method and apparatus for the automatic determination of the assignment of directional sensors to the moving directions of a vehicle is described wherein signals and/or their time derivatives, obtained during specific time intervals, from sensors associated with a measuring device which are utilized for acquiring the dynamics of a vehicle are linked-up with signals generated by a system of the vehicle which is assigned, in an explicit and previously known manner, to the movement direction of the vehicle. The method and apparatus achieves, in the operation of the data acquisition apparatus, the automatic assignment of the moving directions of the vehicle to the sensors of the measuring device.
