Abstract

Embodiments can provide a system, a wheel localizer, a wheel localization device, a method or a computer program for locating a position of wheel. The system for locating the position of the wheel on the vehicle includes a detector for obtaining information related to a steering angle of the vehicle and a locator for determining the position of the wheel based on the information related to the steering angle of the vehicle. Embodiments further provide a device, a method and a computer program configured to determine information related to one or more expected rotational frequencies of one or more wheels of a vehicle. The device includes a path detector configured to determine expected path lengths of the one or more wheels of the vehicle based on information related to a path of the vehicle. The device further includes a controller configured to determine the information related to the one or more expected rotational frequencies of the one or more wheels of the vehicle based on the expected path lengths of the one or more wheels.
