Brake lining thickness monitoring method for vehicle braking system, involves computing wear using actuating time, pressure, relative speed between brake lining and element and temperature in brake lining region

摘要

Actuating time (t), actuating pressure (p), relative speed (u) between brake lining and braking element and temperature ( theta ) prevailing in brake lining region, are taken into account to calculate the wear using a polynomial equation. The wear is subtracted from initial brake lining thickness individually for each wheel of the vehicle. - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for operating method of brake.
