Abstract: A method for monitoring at least one wheel of a vehicle includes acquiring an image of the at least one wheel of the vehicle by using a camera that is secured to the vehicle; identifying at least one visual feature of the wheel on the image; detecting at least one parameter of the at least one identified feature; determining an actual position of the camera relative to the wheel; obtaining a corrected parameter on the basis of the actual position of the camera; and determining an operation state of the wheel on the basis of the corrected parameter. The present invention also relates to a system for performing the method according to the invention and to a vehicle including the system.

Abstract: Method for determining steering deadband and eliminating starting drag in a vehicle, having at least one steered wheel mechanically connected to an actuator, includes, from a first initial position, wherein the actuator is in a middle position and is biased toward a second direction, the actuator is moved toward a first direction, the first direction being opposite to the second direction, until a movement of the steered wheel is detected in a first deadband detection position of the actuator. The actual position of the actuator in the first deadband detection position is stored as a first deadband value ?DB1. After reaching the first deadband detection position, the actuator is moved further in the first direction by a predetermined ?ESD1 first starting drag elimination angle to cause a predetermined movement of the at least one steering wheel and further mechanical parts connected thereto arriving to a first starting drag elimination position.
