Abstract:
1. A brake monitoring system for a heavy vehicle, the brake monitoring system comprising: a brake sensor configured to collect brake sensor data by outputting a signal proportional to a rotational position of a sensor within a sensor housing, wherein the brake sensor includes a sensor linkage configured to operatively link the sensor to an actuator of a brake at a clevis pin connection of the actuator such that actuation of the actuator changes the rotational position of the sensor within the sensor housing; a data collector for collecting brake sensor data during a brake event, wherein the data collector is selectively calibrated with one or more brake adjustment parameters specific to a brake of the heavy vehicle in which the data collector is installed; and an on-board vehicle display unit having a plurality of user interfaces, where the user interfaces are configured to graphically display one or more of brake adjustment status, brake timing for a side-to-side comparison from a left side of the vehicle to a right side of a vehicle and from back to front.
