Sensor Assisted Braking System in Automobiles

Abstract

One of the fastest growing industries in the world in terms of high demand as well in technological development is Automobile Industry. There have been a lot of technological concepts introduced in automotive industry to improve comfort, more efficiency, cost reduction and eco-friendly. From the past century, the braking system of vehicle hasn’t evolved much. Today from small to exotic vehicles use only two types braking system are Disc and Drum Brakes, and their mode of operation are the Hydraulic and pneumatic actuations respectively. The 60+ percentage of brake system used in automobile are hydraulic whereas the remaining is pneumatic brake system. They have separate booster getting input from the brake pedal to stop vehicle, and separate hose lining to all four wheel. In this Sensor assisted braking system, the booster, hosing and mechanical systems are removed and sensor acts as input and actuator actuate the brake system.
