A Seminar Report on Sensotronic Brake Control System

In the past few years prototype has been going under many modifications. Last year it was completed but few flaws were there. Spring Mechanism was used by previous degree but it was not reliable as due to excess use spring lost its elasticity and could not be used for triggering. Spring mechanism was also not aesthetically good. A lot of aesthetics was to be done. To cater for this problem we used limit switch for efficient triggering and made compact circuitry using 8 pin controllers and added much to aesthetics of limb.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is a combination of vehicle hardware and software that work together to maintain steering control and vehicle stability during hard braking. Initially developed as a special option for topof-the-line models, today’s ABS units are compact, easy to service, inexpensive and widely available. Now every major automotive manufacturer offers some form of ABS vehicle control that provides safe, maximum braking under all weather conditions and road surfaces.

In this report a comparison of three Braking systems; Calliper, Drum and Disc will be made on a variety of areas including –

In a little over hundred years since automobile took hold of most people’s imagination, technologies design to make acceleration faster and reaching higher speeds have evolved. Despite charges, turbo charges, twin turbo charges or NOX, there are limits, which cannot be greater by land-based vehicle in terms of speed. Not the same can be said about the rather unseen parts of the automotive evolution. The only limitation to them is in connection with the human body ‘s ability to withstand rapid decelerations. It would be a lot easier to stop a car then to make it go faster otherwise. Whether they come in form of drum brakes or as disk, the brakes have been the horsepower’s companions throughout decades, each pulling

In a head-on collision, the car and its restrained driver (or passenger) come to a rapid stop while

TM4, the industrial partner, is a leading manufacturer and supplier of traction motors and drives for electric vehicle industry in Canada. As a drive manufacturer, they always aim to provide solution which is energy efficient with small footprint. In order to achieve this, they always look for alternative software and hardware solutions. Software modifications, which may improve the system performance in comparison to their existing drive control strategy without increasing the size of the system, are always sought after for continuous improvement of their system. In this regards, the internship is relevant to them for exploring alternative control strategies.

Heads up Display, it is a very useful feature that can not be found normally on all cars. The display is a projector that is faced to your windshield and it has a picture of your navigation system and your speed so you don't have to look down all the time to check your speed and navigation. Lane keeping assist is a feature that keeps your car in the lanes, if your car leans over off the lane to the other lane your car will automatically steer itself to the opposite direction and keep the vehicle in its lane and preventing a collision. Active Cruise Control is a feature where you can set a speed for your vehicle to go with out you using pressure on the gas pedal. The feature also detects the cars in front of your car and adjusts the speed if the vehicle in front gets too close or slows down. Lane keeping assist is a logo on your side mirrors that light up when some one is on your blind spot, it also helps you change lanes easily. Tire pressure monitor is a monitor that is always active and it checks your tire pressure if you need more air or not. Forward Collision warning is a warning that comes up on your dashboard if a car is too close to you and you have to be careful of not.

Answer: One of the significant issue is the making of new advancements. Interests in new advancements hold the guarantee of extra changes in efficiency and security. Two of the most critical open doors accessible today are Positive Train Control (PTC) and Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) brakes. The business and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) have examined each broadly. With PTC, upgraded interchanges and continuous data diminish degrees of progress and enhance train rates and security. The data gave by PTC will allow more compelling administration of train developments over the influenced framework. These

into bettering the efficiency of these cars and trucks. Not only is it the brake

The article describes three formats of in-vehicle feedback; visual, haptic, and audio. Each of the three formats to be broke down into various systems and functions. Very similar to a database containing tables, rows, and attributes. In the visual table, there are four rows one of which is the dashboard. The dashboard contains several aids including gauges, on-board diagnostics, GPS, and lamps. The haptic table contains the break/ throttle row, were pedal pulsation will notify the operator of activated antilock-brakes or traction control. Jensen

Attention grabber: You’re on the highway, cruising around at normal speed, singing along with your favorite song, nothing out of the ordinary. Suddenly, the car in front of you breaks hard and you realize it’s too late to brake without getting in an accident. You look at your left side mirror and realize there’s a car next to you. You have two options, break hard and prepare yourself to crash or have let your car do the work for you and let it brake for you before you even realize that the car in front of you braked

wheels to lock before the vehicle comes to a halt. In this case, some or all of the tires skid along

It’s a dark rainy night. You and your family are coming home from a late night family party. As a car is coming through an intersection another car cut in front of it. The driver decides to hit the brakes so you can avoid the car, but as he presses the brakes, the car loses control on the slick wet road. He is not able to gain control and at that point he has endangered the lives of himself and many others on the road. This is just one example of the many types of things that occur in our streets everyday. All that would have been needed to avoid this situation would have been a traction control system in his car, which would have detected that the car was skidding and would have applied the brakes to

The designer of the Anti-lock Brake controller has to face severe difficulties while designing the system:

This report consists of the literature review on the advancement and evolution of braking technology. The report focuses on the need on advancement and the solution found as Eddy current braking. It also explains the working of the eddy current brakes and the advantages and disadvantages of its uses. The scope and the future aspects of eddy current brake systems is discussed in the report.
