  • Patent number: 11167741
    Abstract: A system for monitoring a brake disc of a braking system of a vehicle may have at least one source of an electromagnetic quantity having a set space-time pattern such as to interact with the brake disc in a manner dependent on the properties of the brake disc generating a respective variable signal. At least one sensor for detecting such variable signal may also be provided. The at least one detection sensor may face a set limited portion of an investigation surface of the brake disc. The set limited portion of the investigation surface being at least one set closed path that can be defined on the investigation surface of the brake disc. The detected variable signal being able to be analysed to determine at least one parameter of the brake disc based on a deviation of the time pattern of the detected variable signal with respect to a set reference time pattern.

  • Publication number: 20190248354
    Abstract: An electronic system for controlling traction and braking of a vehicle is described. The system includes a device for actuating braking operatively connected to at least one first wheel of the vehicle, and at least one first traction and braking control unit. The device comprises: at least one first electric actuator and at least one electric motor. The at least one first traction and braking control unit being configured to control the at least one electric motor in regeneration mode to exert a regenerative braking torque on at least one first wheel. The at least one first traction and braking control unit also being configured to control the at least one electric motor in traction mode to exert a traction torque on the at least one first wheel.
