Abstract:
A system, method, and apparatus for vehicle brake monitoring are disclosed. An example method includes receiving a vehicle brake sound signal in a microphone and recording, via a sound card, a digital sound sample of the sound signal, the digital sound sample having a predetermined duration. The method also includes processing, via a processor, the digital sound sample into a feature frequency spectrum. The method further includes applying, via the processor, broad spectrum matching to compare the feature frequency spectrum at least one spectrum recorded previously and stored in a database. The method moreover includes, conditioned on significant changes from that previously recorded spectrum, transmitting via the processor, an alert that problems may exist with the sampled vehicle brake.

Claim (Index 10):
A process according to  claim 1  wherein said alert is based on a measured feature frequency spectrum that represents a pattern indicating differences in relative amplitude and spectra from different wheels that indicate an imbalance.
