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.

UAV

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) industry is growing rapidly in India. As per BIS Research report, the Indian UAV market is projected to reach USD 885.7 million by 2021. With the initiatives taken by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for the UAV regulations and policies, it is very much evident that UAV is going to be a game-changing sector to increase the productivity and efficiency in sectors like Agriculture, Infrastructure, Power, Solar, Surveillance, Inspection, Remote sensing and many more. UAV Labs, UAV Workshops and UAV Industrial Training will make students industry ready and provides a perfect opportunity for them to get hands- on experience in technical and flying aspects. The knowledge, experience, and confidence through practical learning will even encourage them to create their own models related to different applications.

DESCRIPTION:

  • An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (or unscrewed aerial vehicle, commonly known as a drone) is an aircraft without a human pilot.
  • The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human operator or autonomously by onboard computers.
  • Compared to crewed aircraft, UAVs were originally used for missions too "dull, dirty or dangerous.
  • They originated mostly in military applications; their use is rapidly expanding to commercial, scientific, recreational, agricultural, and other applications.
  • Such as policing and surveillance, product deliveries, aerial photography, infrastructure inspections, smuggling and drone racing.
  • They can be controlled by onboard electronic equipment’s or via control equipment from the ground. When it is remotely controlled from ground it is called RPV (Remotely Piloted Vehicle) and requires reliable wireless communication for control.
  • In recent years, increasing research efforts and developments are improving UAV for various application and reliability. UAV is still in experimental stages at the moment.

UAV (DRONE) TECHNOLOGY.

TYPES OF UAV

  • target and decoy - providing ground and aerial gunnery a target that simulates an enemy aircraft or missile
  • Reconnaissance - providing battlefield intelligence
  • Combat - providing attack capability for high-risk missions (see Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle)
  • Research and development - used to further develop UAV technologies to be integrated into field deployed UAV aircraft
  • Civil and Commercial UAVs - UAVs specifically designed for civil and commercial applications.

NEED TO SET UP UAV

  • The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Lab is associated to not only Diploma, B.Tech and M.Tech Programs in Engineering but also acts as a UAV Research Centre connecting various interdisciplinary departments like Aerospace, Mechanical, Agriculture, Electronics, Electrical, Civil, CSE.
  • Hands-on experience for the students with the remotely flying machines.
  • 8 experiments manual will be provided with the lab setup for the students to carry out experiments in the lab.
  • Wireless simulator to learn the basics of flying a UAV.
  • The lab also comes with different materials and tools to create any conceptual UAV for different applications.
  • It also provides a window of possibilities to UAV Research Proposal acceptance to various funding agencies like DST, MNRE and RESPOND.
  • Opens up the opportunity to participate in various National and International UAV competitions.
