AUTOMATIC BRAKE FAILURE DETECTION WITH AUXILARY BRAKING SYSTEM

Now a day, Machines are widely controlled by control system. To meet the need of exploding population economic and effective control of machines is necessary. The aim is to design and develop a control system based an electronically controlled automatic break failure indicator by using IR Sensor. Automatic break failure indicator and auxiliary braking system is consists of IR sensor circuit, control unit and frame. The sensor is used to detect the break wire, the control signal to the alarm unit. Similarly the auxiliary brake is fixed to the wheel frame and this can apply the brake and stop the vehicle. A pressure transducer sensor monitors the pressure in brake lining. When the primary hydraulic disc brake fails, the sensor detects the pressure loss and gives warning signal to the driver and also Activates power supply to the secondary braking unit which is a hub motors in rear wheels . This functions as a secondary braking unit and helps the driver to stop the vehicle and thus ensures safety of the passengers.
