Automatic Anti-Reverse Braking System for Heavy Transport Vehicles

Abstract

The Automatic Anti-Reverse Braking System is designed with 4 infrared sensors which detect the proximity of any object behind the vehicle when operating in reverse gear and a control circuit that activates the pneumatic braking unit. The aim of this system is to reduce and avoid any damage to vehicle, property and life due to human errors or mishaps. The role of the pneumatic braking unit is to stop the vehicle whenever the control system tells it to do so. The control system detects the proximity of any obstacle behind the vehicle with the help of four independently working infrared distance sensors. This system avoids accident by taking total control from the vehicle operator and getting activated independently. This adds an extra layer of safety to people from heavy transport vehicles that have tremendous potential to damage property or lives if not controlled properly. The antireverse braking system is fully automated.
