Zusammenfassung: | Brake safety system comprises an evaluation module (3) with characteristic curve data which assigns brake theoretical values, and reading components (4, 7, 9) which read the brake theoretical values and the actual speeds. The evaluation module compares the delay produced during braking with the expected brake delay and emits an alarm if there is a deviation. An independent claim is also included for a process for monitoring the actual braking capability of a vehicle equipped with brakes (6, 8). Preferred Features: A gradient reading unit reads the gradient produced from a data set for a traveled path or actually determined by a sensor. The expected brake delay is influenced by the length of the vehicle. |
