  • Brake health monitoring system
    Patent number: 12036964
    Abstract: A brake health monitoring system and method measure pressures in different components of a brake system of a vehicle system during movement of the vehicle system. Two or more of the pressures that are measured in the different components are compared with each other to select a health monitoring mode. One or more allowable pressures are selected based on the health monitoring mode that is selected. A state of health of the brake system is determined by comparing one or more of the pressures that is measured with the one or more allowable pressures that are selected.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 16, 2024
    Assignee: Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation
    Inventors: Edward Gaughan, Gary Sich, William Potter, Vincent Troiani, Frank Huchrowski
  • Brake monitoring system
    Patent number: 12030473
    Abstract: A brake monitoring system monitors pressures in a brake system of a vehicle system at different locations in the vehicle system. Decreases in the pressures are determined at two or more of the different locations. The times at which the decreases in the pressures occurred are determined. A location of interest of a leak in the brake system is determined by comparing the times at which the decreases in the pressures occurred.
