Abstract

Method and equipment for estimating a brake temperature, method for estimating a braking factor and computer program product, including a method for estimating a brake temperature of a brake disc of a vehicle, by performing the following: virtually separating the brake disc in a brake disc body and a brake disc contact surface layer; and estimating the temperature of the brake disc contact surface layer in dependence of the temperature of the braking disc body and a heat input in the brake disc contact surface layer due to a braking action, in which the estimated temperature of the brake disc contact surface layer corresponds to the brake temperature.
