Calculation of distance from the ultrasonic
sensor
Distance = Speed × Time
Let d be the distance between ultrasonic sensor and
target.
Total distance travelled by the ultrasonic burst: 2d
(forward and backward)
Speed of sound in air = 340 m/s = 34000 cm/s
Thus, d = (34000×Time)/2
RESULT
Due to varying temperature exerted by the frequent application of
heavy braking results in a reduction in the brake occurs in friction
brake drums. This problem is being considered for lighter vehicles by
obtaining efficient heat dissipation since electromagnetic braking
offers a better thermal dynamic performance and the designed model
overcomes such issues. This system will not even rely on oils which
are used for the lubrication in friction brakes results in reduction of
the cost required for maintenance. But the only problem in using
electromagnetic braking requires a battery power which drains rapidly
down when it energize the brake. This system will work even better
when it is associated with an additional friction braking because the
friction force generated by this system is comparatively not greater
than disc brakes
CONCLUSION
The existing control system in modern vehicles does not provide a
proper interaction with automotive electronics and it will not calculate
the relative speed of the vehicle which leads to an error in estimating
the distance between vehicles when activating the smart or emergency
braking system. The solution developed was feasible and reliable
enough to challenge current products available in market in terms of
features and support. This approach presents ultrasonic sensors which
are cheaper than other types of sensors such as radar and the system
consist of a less demanding hardware which facilitates easy mounting.
The relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the obstacle is
determined using consecutive samples of the distance calculated. Thus
the present control system maintains a safe distance by calculating the
action on the brakes.
FUTURE SCOPE
If the system is implemented in future with laser
sensors which will offer an efficient braking because it
keeps a 360˚ watch and consistently will reduce the
number of accidents than the present system.
ADVANTAGES
No grating misfortune.
Less warmth misfortune.
Fully electronically controlled.
Great braking proficiency potential to recover vitality lost in braking.
Potential danger of tire crumbling and blasts because of grinding is disposed of.
No need to change brake oils consistently.
No oil spillage.
Problem of brake liquid vaporization and solidifying is dispensed with.
Less support cost.
Longer life traverse contrasted with ordinary brakes.
Can be utilized as a part of industry to stop or decelerate turning parts.
No need of abs.
1.6 Limitations:
The following are the limitations:
The installation of an electromagnetic brake is very difficult if there is not enough space between the
gearbox and rear axle.
It cannot use grease or oil.
EM brakes are good at slowing things down, not completely stopping them.
