In an emergency, many people do not depress the brake pedal hard enough. EBA senses
an emergency braking situation and helps the driver to reduce speed in the shortest
distance possible.
DSTC makes driving on twisty and slippery road conditions safer, by using sensors to
detect whether any of the wheels is losing traction. DSTC has the ability to cut power in a
flash, helping the car to regain its grip. If in any case the car shows a tendency to skid the
system automatically slows the particular wheels to help maintain control.
3. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
EBD makes sure that the braking forces of the car are distributed between the front and
the rear brakes in order to optimize braking efficiency.
With ABS you can brake as hard as you can and steer yourself to safety without the fear
of wheels locking up and skidding.
5. Blind Spot information system (BSIS)
Using cameras set just below the outer rear view mirrors the BSDS tell you if there is any
vehicle in your blind spot.
6. Night Vision
Driving during the night becomes safe than ever with the night vision where one can see
clearly on the control display even in pitch black. Thanks to infra red technology.
Magnetic Levitation Train
Love to turn a 45 minute car ride to an 8 minute blur?
China was the first to country to have an up and running Maglev you could buy tickets to.
Back in 1979 the Germans developed the 1st Magnetic levitation (Maglev) train. The first
to overcome the limitation of wheel and rail, because the rail moves entirely without
contact!
This is a wonderful topic for your mechanical engineering seminar as well as project if
you dare to make a working model.
The functions of the wheel and rail on a normal rail road including support guidance
propulsion and braking are accomplished through an electro magnetic levitation and
propulsion system. The mechanics have been replaced by electronics. Support Magnets
draw the vehicle towards the guide way from below. While, guidance magnets hold’s the
vehicle laterally on track. These support and guidance magnets are mounted on both sides
of the vehicle along its entire length. An electronic control system ensures that it levitates
at a constant height above the guide way. The Maglev train is propelled and braked by a
synchronous long stator linear motor. This motor is not located in the vehicle itself but
rather in the guide way. It functions on the same principle as a traditional rotating
electrical motor, whose stator has been cut open, unrolled and stretched length wise along
both sides of the guide way. But, instead of a rotating magnetic field a traveling magnetic
field is generated in the windings, one that pulls the vehicle along the guide way without
contact.
The guide way can be elevated where it makes ecological sense. in this way it won’t
divide the landscape or developed areas and the area beneath the guide way can continue
to be used as before. The guide way can be built at ground level to allow easier co
location with existing transportation systems. Therefore, the guide way can be adapted to
the landscape instead of being the other way round.
The operation control system controls and safe guards the vehicle’s switches, guide ways
and stations along the maglev route. The vehicle communicates with the control system
by means of directional radio data transmission. The vehicle’s location is monitored by
means of a location reference system integrated into the guide way. The only motor
section in operation along the guide way, is the one in which the vehicle is currently
traveling. When the vehicle passes from one section to the next, the new motor section is
automatically switched on. More power is supplied on gradients and acceleration
segments along the route than on flat segments this way the propulsion power is
distributed very economically. It is always available exactly where it is needed.

The only alternatives to airplanes -- feet, cars, buses, boats and conventional trains -- are
just too slow for today's fast-paced society. However, there is a new form of
transportation that could revolutionize transportation of the 21st century the way
airplanes did in the 20th century.
A few countries are using powerful electromagnets to develop high-speed trains, called
maglev trains. Maglev is short for magnetic levitation, which means that these trains will
float over a guideway using the basic principles of magnets to replace the old steel wheel
and track trains. In this article, you will learn how electromagnetic propulsion works,
how three specific types of maglev trains work and where you can ride one of these
trains.

If you've ever played with magnets, you know that opposite poles attract and like poles
repel each other. This is the basic principle behind electromagnetic propulsion.
Electromagnets are similar to other magnets in that they attract metal objects, but the
magnetic pull is temporary. As you can read about in How Electromagnets Work, you
can easily create a small electromagnet yourself by connecting the ends of a copper wire
to the positive and negative ends of an AA, C or D-cell battery. This creates a small
magnetic field. If you disconnect either end of the wire from the battery, the magnetic
field is taken away.
The magnetic field created in this wire-and-battery experiment is the simple idea behind a
maglev train rail system. There are three components to this system:
The big difference between a maglev train and a conventional train is that maglev trains
do not have an engine -- at least not the kind of engine used to pull typical train cars
along steel tracks. The engine for maglev trains is rather inconspicuous. Instead of using
fossil fuels, the magnetic field created by the electrified coils in the guideway walls and
the track combine to propel the train.
In the next section, we'll take a closer look at the Maglev track.
Electrodynamic Suspension (EDS)
Japanese engineers are developing a competing
version of maglev trains that use an
electrodynamic suspension (EDS) system,
which is based on the repelling force of magnets.
The key difference between Japanese and
German maglev trains is that the Japanese trains
use super-cooled, superconducting
electromagnets. This kind of electromagnet can Photo courtesy Railway Technical Research Institute
conduct electricity even after the power supply Japan's MLX01 maglev train
has been shut off. In the EMS system, which uses standard electromagnets, the coils only
conduct electricity when a power supply is present. By chilling the coils at frigid
temperatures, Japan's system saves energy. However, the cryogenic system uses to cool
the coils can be expensive.
Another difference between the systems is that the Japanese trains levitate nearly 4 inches
(10 cm) above the guideway. One potential drawback in using the EDS system is that
maglev trains must roll on rubber tires until they reach a liftoff speed of about 62 mph
(100 kph). Japanese engineers say the wheels are an advantage if a power failure caused a
shutdown of the system. Germany's Transrapid train is equipped with an emergency
battery power supply. Also, passengers with pacemakers would have to be shielded from
the magnetic fields generated by the superconducting electromagnets.
Maglev Accidents
On August 11, 2006, a maglev train compartment on the Transrapid Shanghai airport line caught
fire. There were no injuries, and investigators believe that the fire was caused by an electrical
problem.
On September 22, 2006, a Transrapid test train in Emsland, Germany had 29 people aboard
during a test run when it crashed into a repair car that had been accidentally left on the track. The
train was going at least 120 mph (133 km) at the time. Most passengers were killed in the first fatal
accident involving a maglev train.
The Inductrack is a newer type of EDS that uses permanent room-temperature magnets
to produce the magnetic fields instead of powered electromagnets or cooled
superconducting magnets. Inductrack uses a power source to accelerate the train only
until begins to levitate. If the power fails, the train can slow down gradually and stop on
its auxillary wheels.
There are two Inductrack designs: Inductrack I and Inductrack II. Inductrack I is designed
for high speeds, while Inductrack II is suited for slow speeds. Inductrack trains could
levitate higher with greater stability. As long as it's moving a few miles per hour, an
Inductrack train will levitate nearly an inch (2.54 cm) above the track. A greater gap
above the track means that the train would not require complex sensing systems to
maintain stability.
Permanent magnets had not been used before because scientists thought that they would
not create enough levitating force. The Inductrack design bypasses this problem by
arranging the magnets in a Halbach array. The magnets are configured so that the
intensity of the magnetic field concentrates above the array instead of below it. They are
made from a newer material comprising a neodymium-iron-boron alloy, which generates
a higher magnetic field. The Inductrack II design incorporates two Halbach arrays to
generate a stronger magnetic field at lower speeds.
Dr. Richard Post at the Livermore National Laboratory in California came up with this
concept in response to safety and cost concerns. The prototype tests caught the attention
of NASA, which awarded a contract to Dr. Post and his team to explore the possibility of
using the Inductrack system to launch satellites into orbit.
