Method for monitoring the thickness of the brake linings of a vehicle braking system

A method for monitoring a thickness of at least one friction partner of a vehicle friction brake corresponding to a brake lining of a vehicle braking system, comprising the steps of:

• taking into account, in a wear model, an actuating time, an applied braking pressure, a relative speed between the brake lining and a moving brake element, and a prevailing temperature in a region of the brake lining in such a manner that a wear determined by the wear model is subtracted from a starting thickness of the brake lining;
• individually monitoring each wheel of the vehicle;
• and
• forming the wear model by a polynomial statement including at least the following factors:
• dV=(Anδn+An−1δn−1+ . . . +A0)·(Bmpm+Bm−1pm−1+ . . . +B0)·(Ckuk+Ck−1uk−1+ . . . +C0)·dt,
• wherein An . . . A0, Bm . . . B0, Ck . . . C0 are constant coefficients specific to the vehicle braking system,
• a wear stamp is provided in the brake lining, and
• upon reaching the wear stamp, a current, existing brake lining thickness in a calculation of the wear model is corrected.
