Abstract: A method monitors the tire pressure of a multiplicity of parked vehicles or vehicle trailers. The method has the following steps: making available a drone with a receiver unit for acquiring radio-based tire data from a tire pressure control system, wherein the drone is stationed at a base station; lifting off of the drone from the base station and flying along a predefined flight route, wherein the drone flies along a flight route above the vehicles or the vehicle trailers, wherein, while flying along the flight route, the drone takes into account the transmitter range of the respective tire pressure control systems; receiving tire data from one tire pressure control system or a multiplicity of tire pressure control systems with the receiver unit of the drone; flying the drone back to the base station; and, evaluating the received tire data with a central receiver and control unit.
