PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for determining wear of the composite material brake disk of a road traveling vehicle easily installable at low cost. SOLUTION: In this method of determining wear of the composite material brake disk 5 of the road traveling vehicle 1, a kinetic energy differential DEk of the road traveling vehicle 1 induced by deceleration is calculated at each deceleration of the vehicle, the instantaneous value Ed of an energy dissipated by the brake disk 5 during the deceleration is determined as a function of the kinetic energy differential DEk, and based on the instantaneous value Ed of the energy, the instantaneous wear contribution u of the brake disk 5 during the deceleration is determined. By adding the wear contribution u to a total wear value U, the total wear value U of the brake disk 5 is updated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
