ABSTRACT
Magnetic braking has dramatically increased in
popularity in recent years.
Magnetic braking works because of induced
currents and Lenz's law.
An Electromagnetic Braking system uses
Magnetic force to engage the brake for safety,
Main components used are Ultra sonic Sensor,
Electromagnet, Disc brake etc.
ECU is used as processing unit.

INTRODUCTION
In this concept Electro magnetic brakes apply at
high speed for safety purpose.
Field coil with conductor produces repulsive force
to resist the rotating motion of wheel.
ECU is used to control the electromagnetic
system.
Whenever the vehicle comes too close to any
obstacle, USS will signal to ECU to actuate the
process.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Now a day's accidents are increasing
more and more, Magnetic brakes is
necessary for safety purpose.
Sudden recognition of any object in front
panics the driver
Taking the driver reaction time into
account we will try to assist the driver by
doing this we can avoid accidents and
hence can increase safety.

OBJECTIVE
Increase safety of the occupant
Reduce the damage from collision
More control on vehicle

SUMMARY
We can use this system at high speed to slow down
or stop the vehicle before collision.
By using this system we can reduce rash driving
and accidents.
Work reliability in the toughest environmental
condition.

 Magnetic braking system is not popular

now a days.
But we hope that the magnetic braking
system which is simpler and more
effective will take the place of the
ordinary braking system and we can do
expect it to be the norm one in few years
of time.
