Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of safety monitoring, and in particular to a brake pad life prediction and early warning system based on driving behavior, a brake pad life prediction and early warning method based on driving behavior, electronic equipment, storage media, and vehicle monitoring platform. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry and the continuous advancement of intelligent connected vehicle technology, vehicle safety monitoring systems have become an important component of modern automobiles. In the vehicle braking system, brake pads, as a critical safety component, directly affect driving safety. Traditional brake pad maintenance methods mainly rely on periodic inspections or replacement strategies based on fixed mileage intervals.
[0003] Currently, the main brake pad monitoring solutions in existing technologies include the following:
[0004] Mechanical wear indicator: A metal plate is installed on the brake pads. When the brake pads wear down to a certain extent, the metal plate contacts the brake disc and produces an abnormal noise, reminding the user to replace the brake pads.
[0005] Electronic wear sensor: The electronic sensor installed on the brake pads monitors the brake pad thickness in real time and transmits the data to the vehicle system.
[0006] Mileage-based prediction method: reminds users to replace brake pads based on vehicle mileage and manufacturer-recommended replacement intervals.
[0007] Although existing technologies can monitor brake pad condition to some extent, the following significant problems still exist:
[0008] 1. Low prediction accuracy: Traditional prediction methods based on fixed mileage ignore individual differences in driving behavior. Different drivers' driving habits (such as frequency of emergency braking, braking intensity, etc.) have a significant impact on brake pad wear, and using a uniform standard can easily lead to over-maintenance or under-maintenance.
[0009] 2. Poor real-time performance: Mechanical indicators can only issue a warning when the brake pads are worn to their limit, lacking early warning function and unable to inform users of maintenance needs in advance.
[0010] 3. High cost: Electronic sensor solutions require the installation of a dedicated sensor on each brake pad, which increases system cost and complexity, and the sensors themselves may have reliability issues.
[0011] 4. Lack of personalization: The existing solution does not fully consider personalized factors such as vehicle usage environment and driving habits, and cannot provide customized maintenance suggestions for different users.
[0012] 5. Passive response: Existing technologies mostly adopt passive monitoring methods, which cannot actively predict the remaining life of brake pads, making it difficult for users to arrange maintenance plans in advance.
[0013] The root cause of the above problems is that existing technologies have failed to establish a quantitative relationship model between driving behavior and brake pad wear, and lack a systematic analysis of the combined effects of multiple factors. Summary of the Invention
[0014] The purpose of this invention is to provide a brake pad life prediction and early warning system based on driving behavior, which solves at least one of several technical problems.
[0015] The current technology suffers from several drawbacks. First, it lacks predictive accuracy. Traditional fixed-mileage-based solutions ignore individual differences in driving behavior, leading to over- or under-maintenance. Second, it has poor real-time performance. Mechanical indicators only alert when wear reaches its limit, lacking early warning capabilities. Third, it is costly. Electronic sensor solutions require additional specialized equipment, increasing system complexity and reliability risks. Fourth, it lacks personalization, failing to adequately consider driving habits and usage environments, thus unable to provide customized maintenance recommendations. Fifth, it is reactive, unable to proactively predict remaining lifespan, preventing users from planning maintenance in advance.

[0199] Specifically, the technical features in this embodiment address the following existing technical problems: the continuous wear calculation formula is computationally complex and unsuitable for the real-time calculation requirements of the vehicle system, resulting in poor real-time performance; the vehicle system has limited computing power, making it difficult to support complex integral calculations, thus affecting the system's practicality.

[0200] In this embodiment, it includes:
[0201] In step S4, the behavior tolerance is at least one of the following: the maximum number of emergency braking cycles that the brake pads can withstand under the current wear condition, the maximum duration of continuous downhill driving, and driving restrictions on specific road sections.
[0202] Among them, the remaining lifespan is determined based on the wear and tear of the brake pads under braking conditions.

The resulting technical benefits are: reusing existing vehicle sensors eliminates the need for additional purchase and installation of dedicated equipment, reducing implementation costs and complexity; and based on the vehicle's existing sensor system, ensuring sensor compatibility with the vehicle's onboard system and improving the stability and reliability of data acquisition.

[0213] Specifically, the technical features in this embodiment address the following existing technical problems: Existing maintenance recommendations are too generalized, failing to consider users' actual driving habits and driving scenarios, resulting in insufficient specificity and poor maintenance effectiveness; a lack of systematic recording of user driving-related characteristics leads to a lack of data support and insufficient scientific rigor in the maintenance recommendations. The resulting technical effects are: the generated maintenance recommendations are tailored to users' driving habits and frequently traveled road characteristics, accurately meeting users' personalized maintenance needs and improving maintenance effectiveness; providing maintenance recommendations based on comprehensive driving habit profiles enhances the scientific rigor and rationality of the recommendations, helping users to rationally plan maintenance schedules and reduce maintenance costs and unnecessary downtime.
