This work concentrates on the use of easy to implement controller design to match the computing capacity of the low cost and low power embedded computing technologies available in current vehicles.

Present study tries to answer certain pertinent questions, particularly with respect to walking and cycling, which can arise while preparing a plan for promoting NMT in Indian cities. The following...

In the present work, the authors conceive and define the concept of sustainability in the context of urban mobility and decipher it for Indian cities, in general, and Bangalore, in particular, through performance assessment framework, indicator-based hierarchical benchmarking framework and urban mobility dynamics framework respectively.

In the first part of the thesis, the author presented data collected in the city of Bangalore, India from a very commonly seen mode of transportation for hire in India and other emerging economies, namely a three-wheeled vehicle known as the “auto-rickshaw”. From a statistical analysis, it is shown that the typical range is 72.5 km with a mean speed of 12.5 km/h.

In this research, a new Integrated Adaptive Guidance algorithm is developed for a class of Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs) that perform suborbital flight. This simple and elegant guidance approach can cater to ascent as well as re-entry phases (from lift off to touch down) of any RLV mission, irrespective of the type of propulsion being employed, rocket or air-breathing.

Uniti aims at providing a smart solution to urban commute, something which is sustainable, fun and in step with the strides made in technology. This involved starting from a clean slate and attacking the very fundamental problem; a two-ton machine meant for carrying four to five people being used by only one person for majority of its lifespan, which makes all the more less sense in an urban environment.

The work presented in this thesis focuses on the DC-DC conversion stage of on-board chargers and proposes a set of topologies with suitable switching techniques to mitigate certain issues arising as applied to EV charging.

The study started with the hypotheses that nationalisation of road passenger transport in India generally and in Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh particularly, would bring about an increase in operational efficiency, a decrease in the cost per unit, and efficient management leading to profitable operations, and that the benefits so derived would be and employees.

In this research Coordinated charging of Plug in Hybrid Electric newlineVehicle (PHEV) in a grid and efficient battery charging controller are analyzed using various algorithms.

Bajaj Auto Limited is an Indian two-wheeler manufacturing company. The scooter segment with the slogan of ‘Hamara Bajaj’ became a popular brand image amongst the Indian population, especially among the middle class families.
