Abstract
An automatic brake system for a vehicle consists of an electric motor, related to the motor for transmission motion from the motor
to a brake lever that pushes the restraint. This project provides a brand new idea style of the EMPB (electro mechanical parking
brakes) system that has straightforward and cheap characteristics. This project deals with coming up with and fabrication of EMPB
system. Mechanical device hand brake system conjointly remarked as brake by-wire, replace typical parking braking systems with
a totally electrical part system. This happens by replacement typical linkages with electrical motor-driven units. The braking force
is generated directly at every wheel by high performance electrical motors and automobile management, that area unit controlled
by an ECU. The electronic hand brake replaces the traditional handbrake. Its operated by a switch within the center console. The
mechanical device hand brake provides the subsequent edges over the traditional handbrake: easy use-the hand brake is applied
totally no matter the strength of the driving force. Safety- the electrical hand brake applies mechanically once the key is off from
the ignition.

I. INTRODUCTION
In cars, the parking brake, additionally known as emergency brake, hand brake, or e-brake, is a latching brake sometimes used to
keep the vehicle stationary. Its generally additionally accustomed prevent a vehicle from rolling once the operator desires each
feet to work the clutch and throttle pedals. Automobile hand brakes sometimes contains a cable directly connected to the brake
mechanism on one finish and to a lever or pedal at the driver's position. The mechanism is usually a non-automatic lever (hence
the emergency brake name), on the ground on either aspect of the motive force, or a pull handle situated below and close to the
wheel column, or a (foot-operated) pedal situated way with the exception of the opposite pedals.
Although generally called a hand brake, using it in any emergency wherever the footbrake continues to be operational is
probably going to badly upset the brake balance of the automotive and immensely increase the probability of loss of management
of the vehicle, for instance by initiating a rear-wheel skid. To boot, the stopping force provided by using the handbrake is tiny and
wouldn't considerably aid in stopping the vehicle. The hand brake operates totally on the rear wheels that have reduced traction
whereas braking however in some cases, hand brake operates on front wheel, as wiped out most Citroens manufactured since the
tip of World War II. The emergency brake is instead supposed to be used just in case of mechanical failure wherever the regular
footbrake is inoperable or compromised. Trendy brake systems square measure usually terribly reliable and equipped with dual-
circuit hydraulics and low-brake-fluid sensing element systems, which means the handbrake is never accustomed stop a moving
vehicle.
Conventional hand brake feat involves the human interference. While not pull or pushing the lever, the hand brake won't
work. Also, generally as a result of negligence or in emergency conditions, we have a tendency to humans usually forget to use
parking brakes. This could result in rolling of auto just in case of slopes and collision with different vehicles in park. Constant
enhancements in active safety and enhancements with relation to the dependableness and luxury of operation mean that mechanical
handbrakes are progressively being replaced by mechanical device systems.
This gave birth to concepts of electrical hand brake techniques. The elemental operate of the electrical hand brake (EPB)
is to activate and unharness the hand brake once the vehicle is at a standstill. In 1st generation of electrical hand brake fitted,
activate the control board replaces the standard handbrake lever accustomed operate the mechanical hand brake. This switch utilizes
associate degree electronic management unit (ECU) to trigger mechanical device mechanisms among the wheel brakes or central
actuator that operates the rear wheel brake via a Bowden cable. [1] Any, for reducing drivers effort and reminding for application
of hand brake, there was a requirement for a very machine-controlled hand brake system, which can be consummated by the future

turn off condition. During this braking system motorized operated one. During this project, the management unit is received the
signal from the key switch. The key switch is ON at the time of auto begin condition. The primary time clutch is applied so the
motor is rotating in forward direction for two sec to unharness the brake (Already wheel is on braking condition). The key switch
is OFF the motor is rotating in reward direction for two sec to applying the brake. AUTOMATIC emergency brake RELEASE
is nothing however one in every of the braking systems in automobile at the time of auto switches off condition. During this braking
system motorized operated one.

III. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

The construction of automatic hand brake release consists a base frame created from L angle mild steel. The cross section of L
angle is 25*25*3 millimeter. The L angle soft-cast steel square measure welded to make an oblong frame. On this frame a mild
steel shaft is welded that is connected with a motorbike wheel. The motorbike wheel encompasses a drum brakes placed at center
that is activated by pulling brake lever connected to it. This brake lever is connected to the twelve V DC motor via linkages. The
DC motor is of twelve V and one hundred rate. The facility offer to the DC motor is given through a relay that switches its rotations.
The relay is controlled by a microcontroller in operation on five V DC offer. That receives input from a key switch that we tend to
on or off to realize participating or disengaging of brake via DC motor. The whole system is hopped-up by 12 V lead acid battery.

 Design and Development of Hand Brake Release System
(GRDJE/ Volume 2 / Issue 6 / 047)

Total mass of wheel = 4 kg (consider structural mild steel system)

WHEEL OUTER DIAMETER = 400 mm = 0.4 m
Angular velocity of tilting is 100 rpm = 100/60 rps
Amount of Torque required to apply brakes is:
T=Mgr.sin + I
Where,
Mg=weight of the tilting mechanism.
I = Moment of Inertia I= mk2,
= angular acceleration of the tilting mechanism
To calculate torque required for braking and force required for that we need to find above values
Radius of gyration:
For rectangular object the radius of gyration can be obtained as,
k2= 1/3((D/2)2
Where D is diameter of wheel in m
D =400 mm = 0.4 m
So, k2= 1/3((D/2)2 = 1/3((0.4/2)2 = 0.1154 m = 115 mm.
To calculate I (inertia of the tilting mechanism)
I= mk2 = 4*0.1152 = 0.0529 kg.m2
In two dimensions the angular velocity is given by
= 2N
The angular acceleration is
= angular velocity / time
= /t = 2N / t
For one t= minute = 60 sec.
= 2*3.142*100 / 60*60 = 1.74 rad/sec
On substituting the values in equation 1, we get,
T=Mgrsin + I
T= (4*9.810.2sin90) + (0.0529 1.74) = 38.84 N-m
3. Amount of Force required for braking:
T=Fr
38.84 = F*0.2
F= 194.24 N

V. CONCLUSIONS
The automatic hand braking system i.e. mechanical device brake facilitate with automatic brake application supported engine
ignition condition. This may give safe braking is assured in slopes and hill starts with the assistance of HOLD perform. The
operating of project is as per expected because the brake is applied by shift off the key and brake is free once key's on. This may
reduce human efforts and human errors whereas parking or beginning the vehicle. This technique has complete automatic operation
for straightforward drivability and safety. This system additionally gets some advanced choices like hold perform in head to go
traffic and inclined roads, which might promise the drivers and vehicle owners with a secure pleasure drive and stops. The system
has bigger relative blessings over the traditional parking system and can realize most application within the future as a result of its
significance. The system is a smaller amount pricey and more practical therefore are often tailored to any vehicle.
