COMMERCIAL VEHICLE WHEEL MONITORING DEVICE Abstract The method and apparatus provides an improved system for moni- toring air brakes of a commercial vehicle. The system monitors brake temperature, brake lining wear limits and brake adjustment. It can be installed on all commercial vehicles and can operate on trailers as a system within itself. This becomes very important when trailers are shuffled from one towing vehicle (tractor) to another. This system can be tested for operation before the vehicle is put in motion. It will indicate any of the above problems, namely, lining wear limits, brake adjustment and heat build up and will indicate with a buzzer and a light at a receiver exactly which wheel is faulty in the system. A means of counting the faulty brake applications each time the brake pedal is depressed can be added to this system. This counter will monitor a preset number of brake applications and will send a signal to any engine having electronic controls. This signal will put the engine control module into an emergency shut down mode if the problem at the wheel is not rectified. Image
