The principle of braking in road vehicles involves the conversion of kinetic energy into heat.
This high energy conversion therefore demands an appropriate rate of heat dissipation if a
reasonable temperature and performance stability are to be maintained. While the design,
construction, and location features severely limit the heat dissipation function of the friction
brake, electromagnetic brakes work in a relatively cool condition and avoid problems that
friction brakes face by using a totally different working principle and installation location. By
using the electromagnetic brake as supplementary retardation equipment, the friction brakes
can be used less frequently and therefore practically never reach high temperatures. The
brake linings thus have a longer life span, and the potential brake fade problem can be
avoided. It is apparent that the electromagnetic brake is an essential complement to the safe
braking of heavy vehicles.
In this thesis, a new mathematical model for electromagnetic brakes is proposed to describe
their static characteristics (angular speed versus brake torque). The performance of the new
mathematical model is better than the other three models available in the literature in a least-
square sense. Compared with old models that treat reluctance as a constant, our model treats
reluctance as a function of speed. In this way, the model represents more precisely the
aggregate effect of all side effects such as degree of saturation of the iron in the magnet,
demagnetizing effects, and air gap. The software program written in Mat lab can be used to
code different brake characteristics (both static and dynamic) and evaluate their performance
in different road scenarios.
A controller is designed that achieves wheel-slip control for vehicle motion. The objective of
this brake control system is to keep the wheel slip at an ideal value so that the tire can still
generate lateral and steering forces as well as shorter stopping distances. In order to control
the wheel slip, vehicle system dynamic equations are given in terms of wheel slip. The system
shows the nonlinearities and uncertainties. Hence, a nonlinear control strategy based on
sliding mode, which is a standard approach to tackle the parametric and modeling
uncertainties of a nonlinear system, is chosen for slip control. Due to its robustness properties,
the sliding mode controller can solve two major difficulties involved in the design of a braking
control algorithm:
1) The vehicle system is highly nonlinear with time-varying parameters and uncertainties;
2) the performance of the system depends strongly on the knowledge of the tire/road surface
condition. A nominal vehicle system model is simulated in software and a sliding mode
controller is designed to maintain the wheel slip at a given value. The brake control system
has desired performance in the simulation.
It can be proven from this study that the electromagnetic brake is effective supplementary
retardation equipment. The application and control of electromagnetic brakes might be
integrated with the design of vehicles and their friction braking systems so that an ideal match
of the complementary benefits of both systems might be obtained to increase safety to a
maximum while reducing vehicle operating costs to a minimum.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
In this project we are trying to make a braking system. Which can be applicable in
two wheeler at high speed and low maintenance cost. Here we are using an
electromagnetic coil and a plunger. There is an electromagnetic effect which
moves the plunger in the braking direction.
Both electromagnetic brakes and eddy current brakes use electromagnetic force
but electromagnetic brakes ultimately depend on friction and eddy current brakes
use magnetic force directly.

Design Description
Capacitor:-
Diode
In electronics, a diode is a two terminal electronic component
that conducts primarily in one direction (asymmetric conductance)
; It has low (ideally zero) resistance to the flow of
current in one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in
the other. A semiconductor diode, the most common type today,
is a crystalline piece of semiconductor material with a p–n
junction connected to two electrical terminals.
A vacuum tube
diode has two electrodes, a plate (anode) and a heated cathode.
Semiconductor diodes were the first semiconductor electronic devices.
Resistor
A resistor is a passive two terminal electrical
component that implements electrical resistance as a
circuit element. Resistors act to reduce current flow,
and, at the same time, act to lower voltage levels
within circuits. In electronic circuits, resistors are used
to limit current flow, to adjust signal levels, bias
active elements, and terminate transmission lines among other uses.
Transformer
• This brake system can be use in two wheeler.
• Electromagnetic braking system can be used as a
modern technology of braking in automobile.
• Electromagnetic braking system will be used in all types
of light motor vehicle like car and heavy motor vehicle.
