Automated Driving

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

Autonomous vehicle lab consists of a virtual test drive vehicle setup which helps students to learn creation of detailed road and rail networks with multiple lanes as per requirement, design various types of intersections as well as signaling system by exporting the required data from single source and create 3d models. Students from different disciplines of engineering can learn the configuration, simulation, and customization virtual worlds. Students will gain exposure to various MSC’s tools to face challenges in development and validation of driver assist system to fully autonomous vehicles.

DETAILS

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

This toolkit is an automated, lab based tool useful to create, configure, present and evaluate the virtual environment providing scope for repeatable and realistic like in-lab testing of different road conditions and traffic simulations.Advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS),which is an electronic system that the driver to drive and park vehicle, can be developed with by using VTD toolkit. VTD can also be used for developing automated driving systems.
VTD provides scope to generate 3D content, simulate complex traffic scenario, and simulate simplified or physically driven sensors.

VTD SOFTWARE

The data collected from the field is used to design road network and traffic simulations. Road networks are designed using Road Network Editor (ROD) which includes number of lanes, different types of intersections, traffic signs and signals.

ADVANCED DRIVER-ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (ADAS)

ADAS is an electronic system beneficial from road safety point of view. It helps drivers to drive and park vehicles safely. It uses different electronic technologies like Micro controller units (MCU), Power semiconductor devices and electronic control units to avoid human errors and develop advanced driver assistance system. This technology helps in avoiding vehicle collisions and control road accidents.

PNEUMATICS & ELECTRO PNEUMATICS

Pneumatics is the branch of Science which deals with the properties of Air, behavior of air and force applied by air. In this setup there are different types of components involved such as, compressor, Directional control valve, Flow control valve, Linear actuators such as Double acting cylinder & single acting cylinder, Solenoid valve, banana cables, switch box, relay box and so many. Electro Pneumatics is controlled by Electrical action with the help of air pressure. In this setup also there are different types of components.

HYDRAULICS & ELECTRO HYDRAULICS

Hydraulics is deals with the properties of liquid such as oil which is applied at high pressure to get the linear motion. There are different applications of Hydraulics as Hydraulic lifts, hydraulic cranes, in vehicle brakes, and so on. Likewise Electro hydraulics is controlled by Electricity with the help of oil pressure. FESTO is a German company which provided us the software called FluidSIMin which students can design different circuits used in Industrial Applications. In this setup also there are different components which include different valves, cylinders, electric switches, relays and so on.

FLUIDSIM (PNEUMATICS & HYDRAULICS)
