    摘要: A method for estimating the temperature of a component being monitored is described herein, comprising: inputting data related to the component being monitored into a brake thermal model; using the brake thermal model to predict a temperature of the component based on the input data; inputting a) actual temperature sensor measurement data of the component and b) the predicted temperature into an estimation algorithm, wherein the estimation algorithm combines the a) actual temperature sensor data and b) predicted temperature and generates an estimated brake temperature of the component based on the combined inputs. A computer-implemented system is also described.

    摘要: A method for estimating the brake wear of a brake installed in a vehicle is described herein, comprising acquiring an initial mass of said brake; quantifying the amount of energy that is being dissipated by the brake over a first time period, measuring a temperature increase of the brake over said first time period; estimating the brake mass based on the amount of dissipated energy and the temperature increase; and comparing said initial mass of said brake with said estimated brake mass and estimating the brake wear based on this comparison. The method for brake wear estimation may use indirect or direct methods for quantifying the amount of energy that is dissipated. A system for estimating brake wear and performing this method is also described.
