METHODS AND APPARATUS TO ESTIMATE BRAKE PAD WEAR

Methods and apparatus to estimate brake pad wear are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one processor circuit to obtain temperature data and power data associated with a brake pad of a vehicle, execute a neural network based on the temperature data and the power data, the neural network trained based on a loss value corresponding to a difference between (a) a first rate of change of an output of the neural network when the neural network is executed based on training data, the first rate of change evaluated at a first temperature and a first power, and (b) a second rate of change proportional to a ratio between the first temperature and the first power, determine, based on a result of the execution of the neural network, a brake wear metric corresponding to the brake pad, and cause presentation of the brake pad metric via a user interface.
