Abstract: In today’s world vehicle accident is a major problem. To avoid this we have developed an automatic impact reducing system in our project. The system is based on intelligent electronically control system known as “Automatic pneumatic-bumper system”. Automatic pneumatic bumper system uses infrared sensor (IR), which is used to sense the vehicle coming is front of our vehicle which is responsible for an accident. As soon as any object or vehicle is sensed by the sensor the sensor sends feedback signal to engine through the relay control to activate the Solenoid Valve which allows the flow of compressed air to the cylinder. During the working of Automatic Pneumatic Bumper system simultaneously the driver also try to stop the vehicle by applying brake pedal which somewhat slows down the engine. The compressed gas flowing through the solenoid valve will activate the cylinder which in turn activates the Bumper. This system provides pre-crash safety to the vehicle. As well as it improves the response time of vehicle braking to keep safe distance between the vehicles. By using this system we can obtain control over the speed of vehicle in short distance.
