Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Autonomous Braking System Using Arduino Microcontroller

Abstract

Abstract - This paper presents the design and development of an autonomous electromagnetic braking system utilizing Arduino microcontroller technology and ultrasonic sensing. The proposed model detects obstacles in the vehicle path and triggers braking automatically through an electromagnetic braking unit powered via a relay module. This frictionless braking mechanism enhances vehicular safety, especially in robotic and automated systems by eliminating reliance on human response time. The system integrates low-cost components and offers a scalable solution for future intelligent transportation systems. Key Words: Arduino, Electromagnetic Brake, Ultrasonic Sensor, Autonomous Braking and Safety System.
