Fabrication Of An Intelligent Braking System

ABSTRACT

The main purpose of present Automobiles is being developed by more of electrical parts for efficient operation. Generally a vehicle was manufactured with an analog driver vehicle interface for indicating various vehicle statuses like speed, fuel level, Engine temperature etc. This work presents the development and implementation of a digital driving system for a semi-autonomous vehicle to improve the efficiency of driver-vehicle interface. It uses an ARM based data acquisition system that uses ADC to control data from analog to digital format and visualize through LCD. This work focuses the development of distance measurement by using Ultrasonic sensors which denotes that vehicle’s position from obstacles. The vehicle detects the speed breaker and also some primary zones before certain limitation by tags using CAN module for introducing the new invention of priority based Intelligent Braking System.

CHAPTER ONE

1.1                                                  INTRODUCTION

Accidents occur due to technical problem within the vehicle or due to mistake of driver. Sometimes the drivers lose control over the vehicle and sometimes accident occurs due to rash driving. When the drivers come to know that vehicle is going to collide they become nervous and they don’t apply the brakes. Majority of the accidents occur this way. The system designed will prevent such accidents. It keeps track of any vehicles in front. It will continuously keep the track of the distance between the two vehicles. When two come dangerously close the microprocessor in the system activates the brakes and it will stop the vehicle.

1.2                                             AIM OF THE PROJECT

The main aim of system is to avoid critical damage of vehicle during driving. Most of the time driver is unable to judge proper distance between car and an obstacle, so this system will be helpful as well as important in car safety.

1.3                                                   PROJECT SCOPE

Intelligent Braking system is introduced for providing safety and comfort to driver during driving. The intelligent braking system will open up new ideas and concept for automobile industries. As the requirements of human beings for comfort and safe driving increases, this system is addition in regular safety system, and also increase demand of vehicle in market view.

1.4                                    ADVANTAGES OF THE PROJECT

• With this device Mechanical brake could be used just before stopping or parking brake
• No more brakes pads wear
• Less risks of mechanical brake damages
• Exponential increasing of battery charging during braking
• Driving long downhills without Brakes overheating
• Gradual strenght of braking
• Reduction of front wheel lock
• Smooth braking in normal mode with improved anti-lock system
• Strenght braking in Sport mode
