Brake failures in the vehicles can cause hazardous accidents so having a better monitoring and emergency braking system is very important. So, this project consists of an autonomous brake failure detector integrated with Automatic Braking using Electromagnetic coil braking which detects the braking failure at the time and applied the combinations of the brakes, to overcome this kind of accidents. So, here the system comprises of IR sensor circuit, control unit and electromagnetic braking system. How it works: The IR sensor monitors the brake wire, and if the wire is broken, the control unit activates the electromagnetic brakes, stopping the vehicle in a safe manner.
This system enhances vehicle safety by ensuring immediate braking action without driver intervention. Key advantages include real-time brake monitoring, reduced mechanical wear, quick response time, and an automatic failsafe mechanism. The system’s minimal reliance on hydraulic components also makes it suitable for harsh or variable conditions.
The proposed system can be widely implemented in automobiles, especially those using drum brakes, as well as railway systems to prevent accidents due to brake failure. Future advancements in predictive maintenance, machine learning, and AI integration could further improve the reliability, adaptability, and overall efficiency of this advanced braking system.
