Abstract

Hand brakes are one of the most important safety systems in a motor vehicle. When parked, the hand brake mechanism's primary function is to maintain the car's secure motionlessness. The primary purposes of the brake system are to slow down the car, maintain speed when driving downhill, and, in the end, park the car in a stationary position on a level or sloping road. Human intervention is involved in the conventional hand brake actuation process. The hand brake will not function if the lever is not pulled or pushed. Also, humans frequently forget to apply the hand brakes, either out of carelessness or in an emergency. This could cause the car to roll on slopes and collide with other cars in the parking lot. The automatic handbrake is a crucial component of modern cars, as safety is the primary concern. Our project is to develop a model for the automatic handbrake system which engages and disengages handbrake in automobile and to make it affordable to common man. The model is planned to develop as an external attachment that could be fixed with the existing hand brake mechanisms in automobiles. With the aid of mechanical actuators or sensors, the external attachment will correspond with the hand brake's typical operation.In our automated field, modern cars might have electronic park brake systems, which are more user-friendly and practical than manual parking brake systems. However, our model's goal is to automate vehicles with traditional manual park brake systems by repairing an external component without changing the manual park brake's standard design or functionality using electrical component.
