The invention provides a device and a method for determining an estimated remaining use of a brake assembly. In some embodiments, the device configured to determine an estimated remaining use of a brake assembly includes a magnet configured to move in response to movement of a wear pin indicator of the brake assembly, a sensor configured to generate an output signal based on a position of the magnet relative to the sensor, and processing circuitry configured to determine the estimated remaining use of the brake assembly based on the output signal generated by the sensor. 本发明题为"确定制动组件的估计剩余使用次数"。在一些示例中，本发明公开了一种被配置为确定制动组件的估计剩余使用次数的设备，该设备包括磁体，该磁体被配置为响应于制动组件的磨损销指示器的移动而移动；传感器，该传感器被配置为基于磁体相对于传感器的位置来生成输出信号；以及处理电路，该处理电路被配置为基于传感器生成的输出信号来确定制动组件的估计剩余使用次数。
