This study investigated the extent to which brake performance monitoring systems (BPMS) can be used for current, conventionally driven vehicles and future automated vehicles to assure their roadworthiness. For current BPMS, the feasibility of improving inspection efficiency and reducing industry costs by substituting their use for roller brake tests carried out as part of safety inspections and at periodic technical inspection (PTI) was investigated. For future automated vehicles, the longer term outlook and implications for BPMS was considered.
