Abstract
A method provides a continuous indirect termination of the braking-surface temperature for vehicles having a wheel-slip control system using active brake actions, in which the instantaneous temperature value is reduced cyclically up to, at most, a predetermined minimum temperature by a decrement allowing for the cooling and, if brake activation is recognized, is additionally increased by a heating increment. This increment is ascertained solely by recording the wheel speeds or from data of a possibly present brake-valve control, for example a wheel-slip control system, and from filed characteristic diagrams obtained empirically. This provides a reliable estimation of brake temperature at a minimum outlay in terms of sensors.
