ABSTRACT:
A method for detection of wear of a brake lining using a temperature sensor embedded in a brake lining adjacent to a brake table. A temperature versus time history recorded upon application of the brake system is transmitted to a microprocessor based processing unit which estimates the thickness of the remaining brake lining based on comparison with calibration data stored in the processing unit.
