ABSTRACT:
A method for estimating the friction coefficient between the stator and the rotor in a braking device including the following method steps: measurement of the temperature of the braking device, establishment of the friction coefficient by calculating the relationship between a measure of thermal energy generated by the rotor and the stator during a time interval and a measure of braking energy absorbed by the rotor and the stator during the same time interval, in which the generated thermal energy is calculated from a function of the measured temperature. The method is preferably used in calculating a correction factor for trailer compensation.
