Abstract :
The paper describes a solution for an integrated intelligent brake temperature sensor system on PCB that can be easily implemented in one silicon chip to maximize performance and minimize system costs. A prototype of the low cost, low power brake temperature sensor system was designed and realized at BUTE. The system is capable of measuring brake temperature in the wide interval of -40degC...+800degC. It consists of several standalone brake shoe temperature sensors based on integrated thermocouples. The separate sensors can be self powered and use RF and/or wired communication with the electrical control Unit.
