Some aircraft are equipped with brake temperature sensors - one for each set of brakes (wheel), while others have overheat sensing loops in the wheel well. Some aircraft, like Boeing wide-bodies, have both. On narrow-bodied Boeing aircraft, brake temp sensors are typically customer options, however I understand the A320 series comes with them out of the box.
