Economy and low pollution are essential requirements imposed on modern cars.The continuous increase in travel speeds,coupled with the massive increase in the number of vehicles worldwide,has led to the need for the development and use of braking systems to a very high standard.The exploitation of commercial vehicles has as a central factor the profit,which in turn is built on the highest availability of the vehicle and the lowest possible maintenance costs.Both aspects of profit are found in the process of wear of the elements in the braking system.For the owner of a truck,wear is measured in costs(parts and time for repairs).This study shows the result of analyzing multiple sets of data collected from trucks brake control unit in various stages of maintenance and highlights key factors influencing the braking process,also seeking solutions for increased braking performance,reduced wear,reduced maintenance costs for the braking system and increasing the availability of a truck.The processing of braking data and analysis of the braking process,based on the measured data,allowed the identification of some predominant influence factors in the wear of the disc brakes of the analyzed commercial vehicles.
