According to the present invention, a wheel identifying apparatus includes
a plurality of transceivers, each of which is located on one of a
plurality of wheels of a vehicle, a triggering device, a receiver, and a
wheel identifier. The triggering device is located on a body of the
vehicle at different distances from the transceivers and works to
transmit a trigger signal. Each of the transceivers works to receive the
trigger signal, determine the strength of the trigger signal thereat,
correct the determined strength using a correction value, and transmit a
response signal indicative of the corrected strength. The receiver works
to receive all the response signals transmitted by the transceivers. The
wheel identifier works to identify, for each of the response signals
received by the receiver, the wheel on which the transceiver having
transmitted the response signal is located based on the corrected
strength indicated by the response signal.
