is unsurprising given the consequences of brake system they are useful when used for comparative purposes – for
underdesign. The example given is a relatively simple one, example, if the brake temperature model is used with an
with convection characteristics that are independent of ESPalgorithm it can rank control strategies in terms of the
vehicle velocity and no variation of brake friction with energy added to individual brake rotors. Similar modelling
