Abstract
A method for analyzing the wear behavior of brake pads of a brake system has at least the following steps: a) providing a brake system with at least one or more brakes, each with one or more brake pads which each have a pad carrier plate and a friction lining composed of at least two or more friction material layers which are composed of different friction materials; and at least one evaluation device; b) determining the wear which is brought about per brake during braking operations with at least one wear sensor per brake; c) determining the braking energy which is brought about per brake during braking operations with the evaluation device; d) repeated determination of an instantaneous gradient of a curve which relates the values determined in steps b) and c) and preferably a route information item to one another; and e) outputting a signal at an output device if the gradient changes.
