Design and Fabrication of Automatic Electromagnetic Braking System

A break is a device which is used to offer resistance to the motion of a body. Breaks are used to slowdown the moving body or to completely bring the body to the state of rest. Breaks are very important components in an automobile. Electromagnetic braking system makes use of magnetic force to attain breaking. Electromagnets are powered externally using batteries. In our approach ultrasonic sensor is placed in the front of the vehicle. Sensors are used to detect the obstacle and the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle. Microcontroller is used to trigger the electromagnetic braking system if there are any obstacles. This method helps to prevent the accidents caused due negligence of the drivers
