Automatic Braking Systems for Automobiles

In today’s world, along with mobile phones, vehicles are also playing important an role in everyone’s day to day life. Most of the people who owned the automobiles either, drives by themselves or they will have a driver. Anyway 100% perfection is impossible to achieve in any domain, but we can reach maximum efficiency. Imagine that there is car with Automatic braking systems i.e. as soon other vehicle is approaching near your car or your car is approaching towards any object like Trees, Dividers, Humans etc., once safe distance is crossed immediately the brakes will be applied. Isn’t it cool?? Through this project you are going to build an Automatic Braking system for your vehicle.

Looking to build projects on Mechanical?:

Mechanical Kit will be shipped to you and you can learn and build using tutorials. You can start for free today!

1. 3D Printer

2. Automobile Prototyping

3. CNC Machine using Arduino

4. Project Management with Primavera

You will need an Arduino Uno board to interface the microcontroller with the IR sensors which will act as an Eye for the system. You will programme the microcontroller in such a way that whenever the IR sensors detects other vehicle or any object closer than the prescribed distance, Immediately the microcontroller activates the braking system and brakes will be applied.

Project Description:

1. Arduino/Genuino Uno: The digital and analog input/output pins equipped in this board can be interfaced to various expansion boards and other circuits. Serial communication interface is a feature in this board, including USB which will be used to load the programs from computer.
2. IR Sensors: The component we use to find whether there is any obstacle in the path in which our trolley is going are IR sensors (Infrared).

Project Implementation:

1. Initially, Interface IR sensors to the Arduino board.
2. Interface Arduino with braking system
3. Now Power the system and Upload the code.
4. As soon as the IR sensor detect the vehicle closer than prescribed distance, immediately brakes will be applied.

Software requirements:

1. Arduino IDE : You will be needing Arduino IDE software to write and upload the programming logic onto the Arduino Uno board
2. Programming language: Arduino Programming (C++)
