Claim Text:
1. A vehicle monitoring system comprising: a service/control pressure line; an emergency/supply pressure line; a brake valve coupled to a brake actuator and operating the brake actuator, said brake valve coupled to the service/control pressure line and the emergency/supply pressure line, the service/control pressure line and the emergency/supply pressure line each being configured to provide pressurized air to the brake valve; a brake monitoring device having a processor and coupled to the service/control pressure line and the emergency/supply pressure line, the monitoring device monitoring the pressure of both the service/control pressure line and the emergency/supply pressure line; said processor comparing the measured pressure of said service/control pressure line and said emergency/supply pressure line to a pressure set point; and said brake monitoring device generating a warning indication based on at least one of the following parameters selected from the group consisting of: the measured pressure exceeds a first threshold level or the measured pressure fails to exceed a second threshold level or combinations thereof.
