METHOD OF IDENTIFYING POSITIONS OF BRAKE MONITORS
First Claim
1. A method of identifying positions of brake monitors in relation to wheel brake units of a vehicle, said brake monitors being operable to communicate by wireless to at least one control apparatus of the vehicle,characterized in that said method includes steps of:
- (a) installing said brake monitors in association with said brake units;
(b) individually or group-wise actuating said brake units in a sequence whilst monitoring corresponding brake unit actuations by using said brake monitors and generating corresponding brake unit actuation signals;
(c) communicating said brake unit actuation signals from said brake monitors to said at least one control apparatus; and
(d) receiving said brake unit actuation signals at said at least one control apparatus, and identifying from said received brake unit actuation signals positions whereat said brake monitors are installed on said vehicle.

Abstract
A method of identifying positions of brake monitors in relation to wheel brake units of a vehicle is provided. The brake monitors communicate by wireless to a control apparatus of the vehicle. The method includes steps of: (a) installing the brake monitors in association with the brake units; (b) individually or group-wise actuating the brake units in a sequence whilst monitoring corresponding brake unit actuations by using the brake monitors and generating corresponding brake unit actuation signals; (c) communicating the brake unit actuation signals from the brake monitors to the control apparatus; and (d) receiving the brake unit actuation signals at the control apparatus, and identifying from the received brake unit actuation signals positions whereat the brake monitors are installed on the vehicle. The method permits sequential actuation of the brake units and corresponding monitoring of associated signals generated by their brake monitors is capable of enabling installation positions of the brake monitors of being identified automatically.
