ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I would like to take this opportunity to thank one and all that provided their
valuable advice and guidance without which this project would not have been
completed. I thank all who have helped me directly or indirectly but some in
particular have to be singled out since they have given me more than just guidance.
I am thankful to Prof. Manoj Kate My Guide & Prof. Vishal Rajput
coordinator for his kind support and providing all facilities and academic environment
for my project work.
My profound thanks to Dr. Pranav Charkha Head of the Department of
Diploma in Mechanical Engineering for his invaluable advice and constant
encouragement to complete this project report in a successful manner.
Here I would like to express my insightful gratitude to Dr. Lalitkumar
Wadhwa our esteemed Principal for his support.

 ABSTRACT

An automatic hand brake system for a vehicle consists of an electric motor, associated
with the motor for transmitting motion from the motor to a brake lever, which pushes
the brake pads. This project provides a new concept design of the EMPB (electro
mechanical parking brakes) system that has simple and low-cost characteristics. This
project deals with designing and fabrication of EMPB system. Electromechanical
parking brake system also referred to as brake by-wire, replace conventional parking
braking systems with a completely electrical component system. This occurs by
replacing conventional linkages with electric motor-driven units. The braking force is
generated directly at each wheel by high performance electric motors and auto
control, which are controlled by an ECU. The electronic parking brake replaces the
conventional handbrake. It is operated by a switch in the center console. The
Electromechanical Parking Brake provides the following benefits over the
conventional handbrake: Ease of use-the parking brake can be applied fully regardless
of the strength of the driver. Safety- the electric parking brake applies automatically
when the key is removed from the ignition.
