A novel approach development of electrically assisted braking system

Abstract

This paper provides the means to effectively improve the braking system using BLDC controlled by microcontroller. Efficiency of the conventional mechanical braking is drastically influenced by friction, because of this friction due to braking, life of the brake followed by integrity of the system became compromised. To overcome this, normal braking is assisted using BLDC. Prototype is developed, and the parameters such as braking distance and braking time for various vehicle speed are measured and discussed.
