Electromagnetic Braking System
ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKING SYSTEM
A PROJECT REPORT
Abstract
The Project is based on one of the modern braking technologies, with the introduction of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), Brake-by-wire technology, electronic brake force distribution (EBD), traction control system, emergency brake assist, or electronic stability control (ESC). The braking technology has reached a new peak. In this project electricity is applied to the coil at the time of braking. This develops a magnetic field around it and the rotating armature gets attracted towards the coil. As a result the inner and outer friction plates placed between the armature and the coil gets squeezed, which develops a torque and eventually the vehicle comes to rest. Further researches and studies on the braking system shows that in future, electromagnetic braking system can be used in tandem with KERS (Kinetic Energy
Recovery System).
Keywords: ABS, EBD, ESC, Traction control, Emergency brake assist Brake-bywire, Coil, and KERS
