The emergency braking system is a pneumatic-operated braking mechanism designed for automobiles to function during emergencies, activated via a push button that controls a solenoid valve. This system allows the vehicle to stop smoothly without the driver needing to use their legs in critical situations, and includes components like a pneumatic cylinder and flow control valve for braking efficiency. While it presents advantages such as lower cost and simplified operation, it requires a separate air tank and is meant primarily for emergency use.
