The disclosure relates to a method for monitoring a temperature of a brake system of a vehicle, the method comprising determining a dynamic warning temperature profile for the brake system, wherein the dynamic warning temperature profile is based on a warning temperature value of the brake system and a threshold value indicative of the number of times the temperature of the brake system exceeds the warning temperature value; monitoring the number of times when the temperature of the brake system exceeds the warning temperature value of the dynamic warning temperature profile; and when the number of times the temperature of the brake system exceeds the threshold value, adjusting the warning temperature level of the dynamic warning temperature profile to a reduced warning temperature level.

According to an embodiment, a braking apparatus for a vehicle is advantageous in that this secures the reliability and backup brake performance of a pedal stroke sensor, so that it is possible to prevent a problem in which the brake performance of the vehicle has an error while the vehicle is driving.

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for using mobile devices for anomaly detection in a vehicle. The present invention may include a computer receives sensor data from at least one mobile device associated with the vehicle, where the mobile device having one or more sensors. The computer analyzes data from the one or more sensors to identify an anomaly associated with the vehicle. The computer identifies a message associated with the anomaly. The computer determines an urgency value of the message based on the anomaly. The computer transfers the message with the urgency value to the vehicle and causes the vehicle to notify the message using a vehicle notification device.

In a method for monitoring an electromagnetically actuable brake, which has an energizable coil that interacts with a tractive electromagnet situated so as to be linearly movable, and a vehicle having an electromagnetically actuable brake, the current flowing through the coil is acquired, the acquired current value in particular being conveyed to an evaluation unit, the voltage applied at the coil is intermittently increased, and a relative position of the tractive electromagnet with respect to the coil is determined from the thereby induced current characteristic, in particular the characteristic of the current rise, it is particularly determined from the ascertained position whether the brake is in the applied state or in the released state, the tractive electromagnet in particular is arranged as a permanent magnet or has a permanent magnet.

A method of conducting a diagnostic test to determine leakage within a brake system includes first providing a brake system having a plunger assembly including a housing defining a bore therein. The plunger assembly includes a piston slidably disposed therein such that movement of the piston pressurizes a pressure chamber when the piston is moved in a first direction. The pressure chamber of the plunger assembly is in fluid communication with an output, and wherein the plunger assembly further includes an electrically operated linear actuator for moving the piston within the bore. The linear actuator of the plunger assembly is actuated to provide pressure at the output of the plunger assembly at a first predetermined level. The pressure at the output of the plunger assembly is held for a predetermined length of time. The method further includes determining whether conditional criteria has been met indicating a leakage within the brake system.

A method is provided to check for presence of gas bubbles in an electronically slip-controllable motor vehicle brake system that includes brake circuits to which wheel brakes are connected, a pressure generator to charge the brake circuits with a brake pressure, and sensors to detect an actuating signal of the pressure generator and measure the brake pressures in the brake circuits. Disturbances are recognized by ascertaining from the signal a setpoint value for a brake pressure to be obtained and comparing it to an actual value of the brake pressure or by determining that an actual volume of the pressurizing medium displaced into the brake circuits, ascertainable from the signal, is greater than a limiting value that is determined for a setpoint value for the pressurizing-medium volume to be displaced into the brake circuits in order to generate the actual value of the brake pressure.

A braking apparatus of a vehicle including: a brake pedal position detector configured to detect a position of a brake pedal; a piston displacement detector configured to detect a displacement of a piston installed in a main master cylinder; a rear wheel circuit pressure detector configured to detect pressure supplied to a rear wheel circuit; a front wheel circuit pressure detector configured to detect pressure supplied to a front wheel circuit; a motor driver configured to drive a motor to move the piston; and a controller configured to receive the position of the brake pedal, the displacement of the piston, rear wheel circuit pressure and front wheel circuit pressure, determine a fail of a circuit isolation valve, and perform fail safe driving by operating the motor driver and a normal operating valve to supply pressure to only one of the rear wheel circuit and the front wheel circuit.

A farm implement is provided having a frame and first and second track assemblies. The first track assembly has a first track frame, a first idler wheel, and a first brake assembly. The first idler wheel has an inboard side facing toward and an outboard side facing away from a center the first track frame. The first brake assembly has a first disc coupled to the first idler wheel on the outboard side of the first idler wheel, a first caliper couplable to first and second sides of the first disc, and a first torque arm coupled to the first track frame and a spindle of the first idler wheel. The first caliper is mounted on the first torque arm, and is configured to clamp down on the first and second sides of the first disc in order to slow and/or stop rotation of the first idler wheel.

An electric motor-operated drive unit, in particular for a brake actuator of a motor vehicle, includes a rotor shaft rotatably mounted in a housing; and a rotor position sensor that includes a transmitter wheel arranged on the rotor shaft in a rotatably fixed manner and a sensor fixed to the housing and assigned to the transmitter wheel, where a front face of the transmitter wheel is positioned opposite, and with an axial clearance to, a housing wall section of the housing. The transmitter wheel and/or the housing wall section are/is designed in such a way that the axial clearance increases radially outward, at least in some areas.

A disc brake assembly that includes a brake caliper, a retainer strap, and a sensor assembly. The retainer strap is mounted to the brake caliper and extends across a brake pad assembly. The sensor assembly is mounted to the retainer strap and generates a signal indicative of a position of the brake pad assembly.
