Abstract
A vehicle brake monitoring system comprises a sensor assembly configured to detect, during vehicle braking, relative position of a longitudinal member contacting a brake pad carrier, and processing structure communicating with the sensor assembly. The processing structure processes output of the sensor assembly to determine brake status.
Claims25
A vehicle brake monitoring system comprising:
- a sensor assembly configured to detect, during vehicle braking, relative position of a longitudinal member contacting a brake pad carrier;
- and
- processing structure communicating with the sensor assembly, the processing structure processing output of the sensor assembly to determine brake status.
A vehicle brake monitoring apparatus comprising:
- a sensor assembly comprising a sensor for detecting relative position of a longitudinal member contacting a brake pad carrier.
A method of monitoring a vehicle brake, the method comprising:
- sensing at least one relative position of a longitudinal member contacting a brake pad carrier;
- communicating the at least one relative position to processing structure;
- and
- comparing the at least one relative position to previous relative position data to determine brake status.
