  • Brake system and method of monitoring
    Patent number: 11938911
    Abstract: A brake system and a method of monitoring and control. The method may include obtaining data indicative of temperature of a plurality of brake assemblies and determining at least one correlation value based on the temperature data. A mean temperature comparison may be conducted when a correlation value is less than a threshold correlation value.
