 Abstract

 The aim of the project is the design and fabrication of

sensor operated pneumatic braking system. In cars, the,
emergency brake is a latching brake usually used to keep
the vehicle stationary. It is sometimes also used to prevent
a vehicle from rolling when the operator needs both feet
to operate the clutch and throttle pedals. Automobile
brakes usually consist of a cable directly connected to the
brake mechanism on one end and to a lever or foot pedal
at the driver's position.
 The mechanism consists of a pneumatic cylinder in

which is connected to the brake system. By means of

any obstacle comes in front of the vehicle, compressed
air operates the braking system. This project has a
great advantage of high efficient and easy operation of
hand brake system. This brake systems are typically
very reliable and less cost.
 WHAT IS PNEUMATICS?

• Pneumatics is a branch of technology, which deals

with the study and application of use of pressurized
gas to affect mechanical motion.

• Pneumatic systems are extensively used in

industry, where factories are commonly plumbed with
compressed air or other compressed inert gases.
 This is because a centrally-located and electrically-
powered compressor that powers cylinders and other
pneumatic devices through solenoid valves is often
able to provide motive power in a cheaper, safer, more
flexible, and more reliable way than a large number of
electric motors and actuators.
BRAKE MECHANISM IN WHEELS
 Brakes are generally applied to rotating axles or
wheels, but may also take other forms such as the
surface of a moving fluid (flaps deployed into water or
air). Some vehicles use a combination of braking
mechanisms, such as drag racing cars with both wheel
brakes.
