Continuous brake disk damage state monitoring device for braking device of vehicle i.e. motor vehicle, has alarm module that scans accessible memory to start alarm when accumulation of damage rates reaches given threshold

摘要

The device has a transducer unit delivering a macroscopic measurand to quantify intensity of a braking event. A logic controller is adapted to acquire and process the macroscopic measurand. A reading accessible memory is accessed by the controller, and comprises an empirical relation relating the macroscopic measurand with a damage rate of a brake disk (210). An alarm module is adapted to scan a reading and writing accessible memory to start an alarm when accumulation of the damage rate reaches a given threshold. An independent claim is also included for a method for constructing a brake disk damaging indicator for a monitoring device.
