Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a system or determining a plurality of load components (Fi) on a wheel, comprising the steps of providing on the wheel a plurality of sensors (gj) with which it is possible to detect strains or stresses, and measuring essentially simultaneously sensor values (εj) of at least some of the sensors (gj). The invention is characterised in that the number of sensors (gj), sensor values (εj) of which are measured essentially simultaneously, is at least three, and in that the method comprises the step of determining a plurality of load components (Fi) at least partly based on the measured sensor values (εj).
