The Intelligent Braking System using the IR Sensor

Abstract

Most of the accidents in four wheeled vehicles occur because of failure of braking systems. Manual method of applying brakes is always dangerous as it leads to accidents. Unconsciousness of driver, failure in the linkages of braking systems, road conditions, uncontrollable speed of the vehicle and manual operation of braking systems are the reasons of accidents. It is necessary to control brakes automatically through electronics devices to minimize the accident problems. In this research paper we propose an effective methodology for automatic control of braking system to avoid accidents. In this technology we used Arduino, relays, IR transmitter and IR receiver for effective function of braking control system. This complete system can be fitted on to dashboard of a vehicle and effectively used for automatic control of braking system.
