Abstract

The purpose of the study is to increase the use of the resource of brake pads of motor vehicles through the development of new science-based technical solutions. Research methods - experimental studies based on the brake pads of a production car with the introduction of a conductive layer into the friction lining with the output of the light and sound alarm to the driver. The article presents the results of experimental studies on the process of limiting wear of the friction linings of brake pads. During the development of practical recommendations for the technical diagnosis of vehicles, it was confirmed that for monitoring the technical condition of vehicles, it was proposed to use a device to inform the driver about the wear of the brake lining, the use of which increases the utilization of the brake lining resource by up to 98%. The use of this device in the future will allow to track the dynamics of changes in the thickness of the brake lining, which will facilitate the control of wear and ensure timely repair of the brake system with low costs of materials and tools.
