Abstract

See full text

Monitoring the brake performance of a brake system of a machine (vehicle 11) by determining a brake delay between input of a request for a brake engagement of the brake system and brake system effectuating the brake engagement. The brake delay determination provides for capturing delay produced by communication of the input from a brake input, actuation of an input to brake system performance, processing of operation of the brake system, and operation of the brake/retardation components of the brake system with respect to the machine's wheels. For autonomous machines, brake delay may be measured periodically and used in monitoring brake system performance.
