\chapter*{Abstract}
Now a days most of the countries are enforcing their citizen to wear helmet while riding bike and not to ride bike when the person is under the influence of alcohol, but still rules are being violated. In order to overcome this problem, " Accident Detection, Theft and Drive Protection using Intelligent Wireless Safety Helmet " is developed. It consists of an intelligent system embedded into the helmet and the vehicle. Helmet unit ensures that rider is wearing helmet and not under influence of alcohol through out the ride. It communicates with vehicle unit to switch off ignition system of bike if above condition is not met. Vehicle unit checks and intimates accident through geometric coordinates via SMS. By using geometric coordinates, location of the injured rider can be traced using simple GPS tracking application. Also, this system provide theft protection as helmet is also essential along with key to start bike.

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Abstract}

\tableofcontents
\clearpage
\listoffigures

and I am getting abstract with page number in table of contents.
But desired output should contain Abstract in bold in Table of Content without page number.

Please help to sort out this problem.

Best Answer

You have used \chapter*{Abstract} and then \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Abstract} which will put Abstract as a section. What do you want exactly?

I suggest you to use frontmatter \mainmatter and \backmatter facilities provided by book class. Then you won't need \chapter* and hence \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Abstract} line. Just \Chapter{Abstract} will do both the jobs.

Further to remove page numbers for abstract in the toc, use tocloft package and its \cftpagenumbersoff facility like 

\addtocontents{toc}{\cftpagenumbersoff{chapter}}

before Abstract and 

\addtocontents{toc}{\cftpagenumberson{chapter}}

after it.

Code:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}
\usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind}

\usepackage{tocloft}

\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\addtocontents{toc}{\cftpagenumbersoff{chapter}}
