 ABSTRACT

This project aims to design and implement an electromagnetic braking system for automobiles,
focusing on enhancing safety and energy efficiency. Traditional braking systems have limitations in
terms of response time, precision, and energy regeneration. The proposed electromagnetic braking
system addresses these limitations by utilizing an electromagnet to control braking force.

The project utilizes an Arduino microcontroller and various components to develop a working
prototype of the electromagnetic braking system. An infrared sensor is incorporated to detect the
presence of objects, triggering the activation of the braking system. The system consists of an
electromagnet, motor, fan, and LED, each serving a specific function in the braking process.

Through careful control logic, the system responds rapidly to the sensor input, ensuring quick and
precise braking. It showcases the advantages of faster response times, precise control, and energy
regeneration compared to traditional braking systems. Furthermore, it highlights the potential for
integration with autonomous vehicles, advanced control algorithms, and vehicle-to-vehicle
communication for further improvements.
