ABSTRACT

Due to instability in two wheelers during high speed braking, accidents occur. When the bike is traveling at a high speed and the front brake is applied, there is a high chance of the back wheel being lifted and the person driving the bike being thrown out of the bike. In the same way when the bike is traveling at a high speed and the back brake is applied and the surface of travel is slippery, the bike skids off from the path of travel. In both the cases the result will be a fatal accident. The number of accidents that takes place is increasing day by day and a solution to this problem is very much the need of the hour. At present there are three types of braking system in two wheelers, they are “Dual Drum”, “Front Disc and rear Drum” and “Dual Disc”.
In order to avoid the above instability issues, a new type of braking system is suggested. In our new system the various conditions like “High speed braking”, “Low speed braking”, and “Emergency braking” are analyzed for various road conditions and gradients. Our system consists of a microcontroller circuit incorporated along with solenoids and sensors. The sensors, placed at strategic points in the vehicle detect the pressure applied by the driver and sends electric signals to the microcontroller. Depending on the various parameters programmed in the microcontroller, the solenoid actuation takes place and the various braking ratios are provided at the time of need. This ensures that the ideal braking is achieved and hence the safety of the rider is ensured.
