Abstract
A method for determining a capacitance value of a super-capacitor of an electro-mechanical braking system is described. The method may include measuring a first voltage value at terminals of the super-capacitor; if the first voltage value is greater than a predetermined minimum voltage, performing a charge or discharge action of the super-capacitor for a measurement time period, in order to make the terminals of the super-capacitor assume a second voltage value greater than or equal to said minimum voltage; determining a voltage variation at the terminals of the super-capacitor during the measurement time period; determining a voltage variation rate; measuring a current value flowing in one of the terminals of the super-capacitor, at a measurement instant; and calculating the capacitance value of the super-capacitor. A braking system and a vehicle are also described.
