Abstract: 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. Key Words:IR transmitter, IR
sensor, bumper, and proximity sensor
is any obstacle closer to the vehicle (within 1feet), the
control signal is given to the bumper and break activation
system.[21] This bumper activation[22] system is
activated when the vehicle speed above 40-50 km per
hour.[20] The speed is sensed by the proximity sensor
and this signal is transfer to the control unit and
pneumatic bumper activation system[1-5].
1.1 introductions to safety system
The aim is to design and develop a control system based
on pneumatic breaking system of an intelligent[2]
electronically controlled automotive braking system. for
comparison of iterative technologies / techniques. The
final phase of the new modern vehicle shall include: •
Development of improved ABS control systems
•Development and assessment of an electro-hydraulic-
BBW (EH-BBW) system[14] • Individual wheel braking
combined with traction control •Assessing sensor failure
and fault tolerant control system design • Preliminary
studies into an electrically actuated system • Re-
engineering using simplified models.

1. Introduction
We have pleasure in introducing our project
“AUTOMATIC PNEUMATIC BUMPER AND BREAK
ACTUATION BEFORE COLLISION”. Which is fully
equipped by IR sensors circuit and Pneumatic bumper
and braking activation circuit? It is the project which has
been fully equipped and designed for auto vehicles. The
technology of pneumatics plays a major role in the field
of automation and modern machine shops and space
robots. [10-14]The aim is to design and develop a control
system based on intelligent electronically controlled
automotive bumper activation system is called
“automatic pneumatic bumper and break actuation before
collision”.[15-18] The project consists of IR transmitter
and Receiver circuit, Control Unit, Pneumatic bumper
system. [19]The IR sensor senses the obstacle.[19] There
1.2 Pneumatics
The word ‘pneuma’ comes from Greek and means
breather wind, for automation.[19] Pneumatic systems
operate on a supply of compressed air 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 first time, however it
wills indeed the necessary to deal with the question of
compressed air supply.[20-21]
2. Design & Analysis Pneumatic Cylinder
i) Design of Piston rod: Load due to air Pressure.
Diameter of the Piston (d) = 40 mm Pressure acting (p) =
6 kgf/cm² Material used for rod = C 45 Yield stress (σy)
= 36 kgf/mm² Assuming factor of safety =2 Force acting

on the rod (P)= Pressure x Area = p x (Πd² / 4) =6 x {(Π
x 4²) / 4} p = 73.36 Kgf Design Stress(σy) = σy / F0 S
= 36 / 2 = 18 Kgf/mm² = P / (Π d² / 4) ∴ d = √ 4 p / Π
[σy] = √ 4 x 75.36 / {Π x 18} = √ 5.33 = 2.3 mm ∴
Minimum diameter of rod required for the load=2.3 mm
We assume diameter of the rod = 15 mm ii) Design of
cylinder thickness: Material used = Cast iron Assuming
internal diameter of the cylinder= 40 mm Ultimate tensile
stress = 250 N/mm² = 2500 gf/mm² Working Stress
=Ultimate tensile stress / factor of safety Assuming factor
of safety= 4 Working stress ( ft ) = 2500 / 4 = 625
Kgf/cm² According to ‘LAMES EQUATION’ Minimum
thickness of cylinder ( t ) = Ri {√ (ft + p) / (ft – p ) -1 }
Where, Ri = inner radius of cylinder in cm.
LIMITATIONS
1. System has few limitations in densely traffic road.
2. System has no provision to prevent and cure the
accidents from rear side of vehicle.
3. Hard and thick materials cannot be riveted.
4. Due to the linkages there will be frictional losses[6-9].
5. Maintenance will be more due to the number of
moving parts.
6. Stroke length is fixed.
3.Applications
1. This system may be applicable in all types of light
vehicles like cars, Rickshaws, Tempos.
2. This system also successfully installed in the heavy
vehicles like buses, trucks, trailers, etc.
4. Conclusion
This project work has provided us an excellent
opportunity and experience, to use our limited
knowledge. We are feeling that we have completed the
work within time successfully. The PNEUMATIC
BUMPER & BRAKE FOR FOUR WHEELER is
working with satisfactory conditions. Thus we have
prepared an “PNEUMATIC BUMPER & BRAKE FOR
FOUR WHEELER” which helps to know the how to
achieve low cost product.
