LC2BS – Low Cost Secondary Braking System Implemented using Arduino and Motor Speed Control Mechanism

Abstract

In the industrialised world, roads constitute a huge problem. According to recent research, excessive or unsuitable speed as well as changes in the highway are linked to one-third of fatal or severe accidents. Accidents brought on by brake failure are a problem as well. The major cause of brake failure, pressure loss, is failure in the brake lining. A backup braking system has been created in case of unexpected brake failure or partial brake failure in order to prevent accidents. The project involves creating a hardware braking system using an Arduino, motors, and speed control that is displayed on an LCD screen. This system continuously monitors the condition of the brake wire, notifies the driver in the event of a primary brake failure, and automatically engages the secondary braking system.
