Abstract: 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.
