 1. INTRODUCTION
• A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by slowing
down a body or by slowing it.
• Brakes retard the motion of a body creating friction between two
working surfaces and convert the kinetic energy of the moving
body into heat.
• Sometimes brake failure may occur when the brake lining is cut-
off.
• Brakes are generally applied to rotating axles or wheels, but also
take other forms such as the surface of a moving fluid.
• Some vehicles use a combination of braking mechanisms.
• The aim of this work is to design a braking system with indicator
with an auxiliary braking system.
Model Setup
Changes in Braking Systems over the Years:-
• The evolution of brakes has been impressive, and has included
many new technologies throughout the years.
• In all new developments to the brake system, the number one
priority is to improve auto safety and efficiency.
• The types of braking systems that have been used over the years
include:
1. Wooden Block Brake:- Used on vehicles with steel-rimmed
wheels, including horse-drawn vehicles and steam-driven
automobiles.
2. Mechanical Drum Brake:- Anchoring a cable-wrapped drum to
the vehicles is used to stop momentum.
3. Hydraulic Brakes:- Fluids are used to transfer force to
the brake shoe when a pedal was pressed.
4. Disc Brakes:- System integrates both disc and hydraulic
functions.
5. Anti-Lock Brakes:- Created to assist previous braking
systems to prevent the brakes from locking up while in
use.
 2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Our problem is that we don’t have brake failure indication
system in automobile, so to overcome the brake failure we
have to
1. To design an Automobile Brake Failure Indicator with
Auxiliary Braking System for a drum brake system and test it.
2. To use the GPS technology to improve safety of surrounding
vehicles also.
3. To modify mechanism of car system to make it more safe.
4. To make effective braking system.
5. Increase safety at while driving vehicles.
6. Conceptual design for future electric vehicles.
 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
To design an Automobile Brake Failure Indicator for
a drum brake system and improve the safety using
GPS system.

To create a 3D model for the same.

To setup the system.

To test and observe the working of the system

3. LITERATURE REVIEW
 4. METHODOLOGY
 Brake retard the motion of a body creating friction between two
working surfaces.
 It converts kinetic energy of body into heat energy.

Causes of Brake Failure:-

Owner Neglect
Overheating Brake Pads
Damaged Rotor Discs
Leaking Hydraulic Fluid
Driving Through Mud or Water
Loss of Hydraulic Brake Fluid Pressure
Overloading Your Automobile
 Working
 Case I: When the brake drum fails or the cable or the
link join get broken then the lever of drum brake goes
to rear side and it pushes the limit switch as shown in
image highlighted in red.
 Case II : When the limit switch get pressed in brake fail
condition, limit switch activates the solenoid which is
connected to the disc brake.
 Case III: Once the disc is locked, the tire shaft also gets
locked & the emergency brake get applied to the
system.
Working of GPS system to ensure safety of
surrounding vehicles
 By using this GPS technology we can give the information of the
vehicles whose brakes are fail to its surrounding vehicles for more
safety.
 Working procedure:
1. Limit switch is used to power on the circuit.
2. The circuit will have a micro controller.
3. The controller will have the GPS module connected to it which will
send the current GPS location of the vehicle to the controller.
4. The controller will then send the GPS coordinates to a central server
through internet module.
5. the controller will also operate LED signaling, buzzer or other
indications
PROPOSED EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
 CONCLUSION

There are many aims of this project describe as:-

1.To indicate the proper working condition of braking

system

2.To prevent accidents by the failure of braking system

3.To gives the audio visual indication when there is a

mistake in braking system.
