ABSTRACT:
A method to estimate the thickness of a brake lining based on the periodic sampling of the output of a temperature sensor embedded in the brake lining. A temperature histogram is created which is compared to calibration histograms stored in an electronic processing unit to yield an estimated brake lining thickness which is transmitted to the vehicle cab or to another on-board electronics unit. A brake wear factor is calculated from the temperature histogram by multiplying the average value of each temperature range by the frequency of occurrence and then summing the results.
