<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method for monitoring the thickness of brake linings of a vehicle brake system. <P>SOLUTION: In the method for monitoring the thickness of at least one friction partner of a vehicle friction brake, especially the brake linings of a vehicle braking system; for each braking action, the actuating time (t), the applied braking pressure (p), the relative speed (u) between the brake lining and the moving brake element, as well as the prevailing temperature (θ) in this region, being taken into account in a wear model in such a manner, that the wear (V) determined by the wear model is subtracted from a starting thickness of the friction partners, in particular, the brake linings, and each wheel of the vehicle is monitored individually. In the brake lining, at least one wear stamp can also be provided, and upon reaching the stamp, existing brake lining thickness and/or the polynomial formulation may be appropriately corrected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
