METHOD OF DETERMINING A LEFT-OR-RIGHT SIDE INSTALLATION POSITION OF A TRAILER WHEEL

A method of determining a installation position of a trailer wheel (14) comprises the steps of: determining a number of rotations of the trailer wheel using an acceleration sensor (16); determining a number of rotations of a left side tow vehicle wheel (44); determining a number of complete rotations of a right side tow vehicle wheel (46); determining a first correspondence value indicating a correspondence between the number of rotations of the trailer wheel and the number of rotations of the left side tow vehicle wheel; determining a second correspondence value indicating a correspondence between the number of rotations of the trailer wheel and the number of rotations of the right side tow vehicle wheel; and determining a left or right side installation position of the trailer wheel in dependence of the relation between the first correspondence value and the second correspondence value.
