INTRODUCTION

Today India is the most important under developed country in the world. India is the largest
country in the use of various types of vehicles. As the available resources to run these
vehicles like quality of roads, and unavailability of new technologies in vehicles are causes
for accidents. The number of peoples which are dead during the vehicle accidents is also
very large as compared to the other causes of death. Though there are various causes of the
accidents but proper technology of braking system and technology to reduce the damage
during accident are main ly effects on the accident rates. So today implementation of proper
braking system to prevent the accidents and pneumatic bumper system to reduce the damage
is must for vehicles. To get this system implementation goal, we design this Smart breaking
system with pneumatic bumper. It is the project which has been fully equipped and designed
for auto vehicles. In regular vehicles there are verious mechanism operated for the braking
system like use of hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical system. But all these braking
mechanisms receive the input signal directly fro m the driver by application of force on
brake pedal. Thus, braking of vehicles is totally manual operated. So, if the driver fails to
see the obstacle in front of his driving vehicle or fails to apply proper braking force on the
brake pedal, he may lose the control of his vehicle, leading to accident. Also the driver may
not able to pay complete attention when driving at night. So there are many chances of
accidents. Urgent application of brakes can result in veering of the vehicles due to skidding
of tyre. Moreover, due to sudden application of brakes there are chances of other vehicles
dashing from back. Hence, there is no provision to minimize the damage of vehicles. Thus,
the current designed system only fairly reduces the damage of vehicle and/or passengers.

LITERATURE SURVEY

Design and Development of Pneumatic Bumper with Automatic Braking

System, ,

The aim is to design and develop a control system based an intelligent

electronically controlled automotive bumper
activation system is called “AUTOMATIC PNEUMATIC BUMPER”. This
system is consists of ultrasonic transmitter and Receiver ultrasonic circuit,
Control Unit, Pneumatic bumper system. The ultrasonic sensor is used to detect
the obstacle. There is any obstacle closer to the vehicle (with in 2 feet), the
control signal is given to the bumper activation system.

Smart Breaking System with Pneumatic Bumper,

The project is combination of the mechanical and Electronics, which is fairly

known as the Mechatronics. It is a combination of field of engineering that
includes relations of systems engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical
engineering, telecommunication engineering, control engineering and computer
engineering. The upcoming world is full of Automation so we need to develop a
system which is fully automatic.
 AUTOMATIC PNEUMATIC BUMPER AND BREAK
ACTUATION BEFORE COLLISION,

The technology of pneumatics plays a major role in the field of automation and
modern machine shops and space robots.. The aim is to design and develop a
control system based intelligent electronically controlled automotive bumper
activation and automatic braking system is called AUTOMATIC PNEUMATIC
BUMPER AND BREAK ACTUATION BEFORE COLLISION. This project
consists of IR transmitter and Receiver circuit, Control Unit, Pneumatic bumper
system and pneumatic braking system. The IR sensor senses the obstacle. There
is any obstacle closer to the vehicle (with in 3-4 feet), the control signal is given
to the bumper activation system and also pneumatic braking system
simultaneously. The pneumatic bumper and braking system is used to product
the man and vehicle. This bumper and braking activation system is only
activated the vehicle speed above 30-40 km per hour. This vehicle speed is
sensed by the proximity sensor and this signal is given to the control unit and
pneumatic bumper and braking activation system.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Pneumatic systems operate on a supply of compressed ultrasonic which must be

made available in sufficient quantity and at a pressure to suit the capacity of the
system. When the pneumatic system is being adopted for the ultrasonic time,
however it wills indeed the necessary to deal with the question of compressed
ultrasonic supply. The key part of any facility for supply of compressed
ultrasonic is by means using reciprocating compressor. A compressor is a
machine that takes in a ultrasonic, gas at a certain pressure and delivered the
ultrasonic at a high pressure.

FUTURE SCOPE
Our future work deals with incorporating this system with various different
features to provide enhanced protection by the intelligent braking system in real
time application. For that, some of the possible changes are:
1. Regular bumpers can be replaced by hydraulic bumpers.
2. Infrared sensors can sense eye blinking and give signal to solenoid valve
when driver sleeps.
3. Limit switch can be used to limit the minimum speed above which the
system gets triggered.
4. PIC can be implemented in system for further modifications like gradual
slowdown of vehicle.
5. Bumper design can further be enhanced to act as external air bags.
6. With some modifications, the project can be used with timer circuits so as
to apply brakes and extend the bumper after a delay of few milliseconds
so that the bumper does not extend unless the vehicle just reaches the
crashing distance.
