This study investigated the use of infrared thermometers to detect hot or defective brakes on trucks traveling through the eastbound Port Of Entry (POE) on I-70 in Dumont, CO. The objective of this evaluation was to develop brake temperature screening criteria that can be used to identify potential brake-related problems. Brake temperatures were measured and Level 4 brake inspections were performed on trucks traveling through the POE. The measured brake temperatures were then compared to the brake violation data contained in the brake inspection reports to correlate brake temperatures with brake functionality and to develop effective brake temperature screening criteria.
