        abstract = {Brake failure remains a critical safety concern in automotive systems, necessitating advanced detection and emergency response mechanisms. This project presents the design, simulation, and validation of an automatic brake failure detection system integrated with an electromagnetic braking mechanism using MATLAB/Simulink.

The model monitors braking performance in MATLAB Simulink at an initial speed of 25 km/h and detects failure when the normal braking deceleration drops below the expected level. Once failure is identified, the system activates an electromagnetic braking mechanism to provide auxiliary retardation and reduce stopping distance.

The simulation results show that the proposed system can effectively recognize brake failure, switch to backup braking mode, and improve vehicle control during emergency conditions. This approach offers a simple, reliable, and cost-effective solution for enhancing braking safety in automobiles.},
