    This project aims to create an electromagnetic braking system for vehicles that applies brakes without friction or heat loss. It uses two electromagnets powered by a circuit. A metal bar placed near the electromagnets and wheel produces eddy currents when magnetic flux passes through, slowing the rotating wheel. This system could help reduce wear in vehicle brakes. The motivation is that conventional brakes cause heat from friction and wear out faster. An electromagnetic braking system would provide a frictionless alternative. The objectives are to develop an intelligent braking system and understand fabrication techniques.

    ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKING

    SYSTEM
    ABSTRACT
    This project aims to create a electromagnetic braking system model capable of applying brakes
    without any friction loss and without losing the energy supplied. It uses a two electromagnets which
    runs by the supply of power from the circuit. Also, there is a wheel which is attached to the motor so
    when the power the supplied, by the help of motor the wheel rotates. Then a fan is attached near
    electromagnets to cool the electromagnets from excessive heating. A metal bar is in the vicinity of
    the electromagnets and wheel so when the electromagnets produces eddy currents which stops the
    rotating wheel or rotor.This model helps in a way to be a used a retardation equipment in vehicles.

    1.Background:
    Electromagnetic brakes (also called electro-mechanical brakes or EM brakes) slow or
    stop motion using electromagnetic force to apply mechanical resistance (friction). The original name
    was "electro-mechanical brakes" but over the years the name changed to "electromagnetic brakes",
    referring to their actuation method. Since becoming popular in the mid-20th century especially in
    trains and trams, the variety of applications and brake designs has increased dramatically, but the
    basic operation remains the same. Electromagnetic brakes are the brakes working on the electric
    power & magnetic power. They works on the principle of electromagnetism. These brakes are an
    excellent replacement on the convectional brakes due to their many advantages. The reason for
    implementing this brake in automobiles is to reduce wear in brakes as it frictionless.
    Electromagnetic brakes are of today’s automobiles.
    The working principle of this system is that when the magnetic flux passes through and
    perpendicular to the rotating wheel the eddy current flows opposite to the rotating wheel/rotor
    direction. This eddy current trying to stop the rotating wheel or rotor. This results in the rotating
    wheel or rotor comes to rest.

    2.Motivation:

    Percentage and Number of Road accidents in Bangladesh (2009-2016)


    From the statistics of year 2009-2016 (up to July) 19,450 road accidents occurred in Bangladesh,
    18,510 people lost their lives from these road accidents and 14,442 people being injured which is
    shown in Figure.

    3.Problem Definition:
    1.The conventional brake system consists of a lot of moving parts and is based on the principle of
    friction thus a lot of forces dissipated in the form of heat due to friction and the links involved.

    2.Disc brakes work using the same basic principle as the brakes on a bicycle: as the caliper pinches
    the wheel with pads on both sides, it slows the vehicle.

    3.Drum brakes consist of a heavy flat-topped cylinder, which is sandwiched between the wheel rim
    and the wheel hub. The inside surface of the drum is acted upon by the linings of the brake shoes.

    4.Air brakes use standard hydraulic brake system components such as braking lines, wheel cylinders
    and a slave cylinder similar to a master cylinder to transmit the air-pressure-produced braking
    energy to the wheel brakes.

    5.All the above mentioned convectional brakes have two chief problems one is the wear and tear
    and other is unnecessary excessive temperature in the service is attained. Excessive heating of
    brakes can result in fade, it causes temporary changes in the friction as they get hotter. Normally
    efficiency is regained when they cool again Brake pads and linings also wear away faster at higher
    temperature

    4.Scope:
    A revolutionary invention is made in the field of brakes. The Electromagnetic brakes are excellent
    replacement for conventional automobile brakes. The use of Electromagnetic brakes can be done for
    lighter vehicles also. With some modification, a regenerative braking system can be equipped with
    the Electromagnetic brakes. The Electromagnetic brakes are the future of automobile brakes.

    5.Objectives:
    The main objective of this project are:
    1.To develop an Intelligent Braking System for Automobiles
    2.To find the braking distance at various vehicle speeds as well as minimum distance before collision
    3.To understand project planning and execution
    4. To understand the fabrication techniques in a mechanical workshop
    5.To understand the usage of various mechanical machine tools and also
    measuring tools
    6. To make day to day human life more easier by proper use of technology
