Abstract

A system (100) and a method (300) for detecting brake fading in a vehicle. The system (100) includes at least one sensor (140-143) configured to gather data about at least one brake (110-113) in a vehicle (105), a braking system (130), a braking system sensor (145) configured to gather data about the braking system (130), and an electronic controller (150) configured to receive data from at least one selected from the group consisting of the at least one sensor (140-143) and the braking system sensor (145), and determine, based on the data, a level of brake fading of the vehicle (105). The method (300) comprises receiving (305), with an electronic controller (150), data from at least one of the group consisting of at least one sensor (140-143) and a braking system sensor (145); and determining (310), with the electronic controller (150), a level of brake fading of a vehicle (105) based upon the data.
