Abstract
A method for determining a continuous braking power for a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, the method having the steps: determining an ambient temperature; determining a speed, wherein the speed is representative of the speed of the vehicle, in particular the commercial vehicle; determining a thermal emission per unit time of a friction braking device on the basis of the ambient temperature and the speed; and determining the continuous braking power of the friction braking device on the basis of the thermal emission per unit time.
Claims18
A method for determining a continuous braking power for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining an ambient temperature;
- determining a speed, wherein the speed is representative of a vehicle speed of the vehicle;
- determining a thermal emission per unit time of a friction braking device on a basis of the ambient temperature and the speed;
- and,
- determining the continuous braking power of the friction braking device on a basis of the thermal emission per unit time.
A controller for a vehicle comprising:
- a processor;
- a non-transitory computer readable medium having program code stored thereon;
- said program code being configured, when executed by said processor, to:
- determine an ambient temperature;
- determine a speed, wherein the speed is representative of a vehicle speed of the vehicle;
- determine a thermal emission per unit time of a friction braking device on a basis of the ambient temperature and the speed;
- and,
- determine a continuous braking power of the friction braking device on a basis of the thermal emission per unit time.
A vehicle comprising:
- a controller having a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium having program code stored thereon;
