Abstract
Technical solutions are described to for determining thickness of a vehicle brake rotor. An example method includes providing vehicle parameters that identify operating conditions of a vehicle, and using the vehicle parameters to determine work done by a brake of the vehicle as brake-work. Further, the method includes using the brake work to determine brake rotor temperature, and using the brake rotor temperature to determine brake rotor wear. The method further includes accumulating the brake rotor wear to provide an estimation of the thickness of the vehicle brake rotor.
