Zusammenfassung:A tyre localization system for locating the position of a tyre of a vehicle having five or more wheels, comprises a plurality of tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) wheel modules of a vehicle TPMS, each wheel module being attached to each one of the wheels or a tyre thereof, respectively. Each TPMS wheel module comprises a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader. The system further comprises a plurality of RFID tags, each RFID tag being associated with and storing wheel position information of one of the wheels, and each RFID tag being positioned externally of its associated wheel. Each of the RFID readers is arranged, upon activation, to interrogate its associated RFID tag, and the associated RFID tag is arranged, upon interrogation, to transmit its stored position information to the RFID reader for transmission by the TPMS wheel module to a central control unit. A tyre localization method is also provided.
