Abstract:
A system and method for warning a vehicle of brake deterioration including (i) detecting conditions that impact brake performance of a primary vehicle through a plurality of sensors; (ii) receiving information from the plurality of sensors; (iii) determining data for a brake event; (iv) storing the brake event data in a bin; (v) determining an average of the brake data for the bin; (vi) determining whether a rate at which the average of the brake data for the bin is increasing over time is greater than a first predetermined threshold; (vii) flagging the bin when the average of the brake data for the bin is increasing over time greater than a first predetermined threshold; (viii) determining whether a number of flagged bins is greater than a second predetermined threshold; and (ix) generating an alert to a driver when the number of flagged bins is greater than the second predetermined threshold.
