Intelligent Mechanical Braking System

Accident prevention has been one of the main research areas at the moment. Our card is designed to prevent accidents due to loss of control, drunk driving and rash driving, using circuits assisted by a microcontroller kit. In our work, the braking distance and the distance of the obstacle are taken into consideration together with the speed of the vehicle. The sensor helps to find the speed of movement of the vehicle and the ultrasonic sensor detects the distance of the object in the front. Using the sensor, the system will detect the speed of the vehicle and, with the microcontroller, will calculate the distance necessary for the vehicle to stop completely at that speed. The braking motors are incorporated to activate the brakes, thus obtaining automatic braking procedures. The system helps along with the drivers criteria if the driver does not detect the obstacle and applies the brake at the right time, then the microcontroller starts the braking motor to apply the brakes automatically. Our future work is to incorporate the brake shoe wear system in real time to provide an improved function for the intelligent braking system. Considering safety in terms of avoiding accidents in the first place and thus protecting occupants when an accident is inevitable, we can prevent more accidents, save more lives and reduce the costs of insurance and medical expenses for the company. The intelligent braking system approach represents a significant change from the traditional approach to safety, but it is essential to obtain substantial benefits.
