Abstract

A device and a method for determining a wheel position on a vehicle, for example an automobile. Long-wave antennae of a vehicle access system already present in the vehicle transmit a signal, which is measured by a long-wave receive unit of a tire electronic system and used to detect the position of the wheel on the vehicle. The electrical or magnetic receive field strength of the signal of a specific long-wave antenna for example is in particular detected by a tire electronic system and used to determine the position of the wheel on the vehicle.
