SENSING AND ANALYZING BRAKE WEAR DATA

The system includes a magnet (220) configured to move in response to a movement of a wear pin indicator (230) of a brake assembly of a vehicle; and a sensor (202) configured to generate position data corresponding to the magnet (220), the position data indicating a relative linear position of the wear pin indicator (230), wherein the position data corresponds to an estimated remaining useful lifespan of the brake assembly. Additionally, the system includes an energy harvesting device (114) configured to generate an electrical signal based on an operation of one or both of the brake assembly and the vehicle, wherein the energy harvesting device (114) is configured to deliver at least a portion of the electrical signal to the sensor (202).
