automatic distance measurement and breaking system using ultrasonic waves


SYNOPSIS
            Until well into the twentieth century, most devices developed for measuring distance worked on the same principle. The measured distance is compared with a standard unit of length. Other means are available. One of these is the measurement of time taken by the sound wave to cover a certain distance. This sound normally lies beyond human hearing. The ultrasonic sensor is used to measure the distance in digital form and also automatically braking the vehicle when the obstacle closer to the vehicle.

The aim is to design and develop a control system based an intelligent electronically controlled automotive braking system is called “AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM”. This Braking system is consists of ultrasonic sensor, Control Unit, Pneumatic breaking system. The Ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the obstacle. There is any obstacle in the path, the ultrasonic sensor senses the obstacle and giving the control signal to the breaking system. The pneumatic breaking system is used to break the system. 

In our project of ‘ULTRASONIC DISTANCE METER” is suitable for measuring distances between 25 cm and about 6 m. The measured distance is shown on a 3-digit liquid crystal display (LCD). The low current drawn by the unit makes battery operation possible: ‘LO BAT’ reading on the LCD indicates when the battery needs to be replaced. The block diagram of this meter is shown in figurer. This is having the four major parts of the meter
*     A sender and A Receiver
*     Timing and time reference section

*     A counter with display
