Claim 11:
12. A method of monitoring a brake system, the method comprising:
obtaining data indicative of temperature of a set of brake assemblies;
determining correlation values between pairs of brake assemblies based on the data;
determining whether any correlation value is less than a threshold correlation value;
conducting a mean temperature comparison when at least one correlation value is less than the threshold correlation value by (a) determining a candidate mean temperature of the brake assembly having the correlation value that is less than the threshold correlation value, (b) determining a group mean temperature of the brake assemblies having correlation values that are not less than the threshold correlation value, and (c) determining whether the candidate mean temperature is sufficiently close to the group mean temperature; and
providing an alert notification when the candidate mean temperature is not sufficiently close to the group mean temperature.
