Gurgaon, an important satellite town in NCR has witnessed tremendous population growth and as a result motor vehicles increased immensely & threatening the urban-environmental conditions.

The thesis, “Environmental Issues of Urban Road Transport in Ernakulam District,” throws light on the trend and pattern of vehicular mobility in the district and the surrounding externalities particularly related to environment over a given period.

In the present dissertation the impact of the regenerative braking function and the low noise emission on the driver are examined in detail. In the present dissertation both BEV specific features are examined from a psychological perspective. Regenerative braking, as a system to regain energy during deceleration, is implemented in most vehicles with electric power trains. This could have enduring consequences on driver behavior.

This thesis deals with problem of energy management in hybrid electric vehicles. Vehicle customers expect lower fuel consumption, and governments impose tight restrictions on emissions.

The study aims at analyzing the control domain in electric mobility and discussing the design of the controller that drives the motor, allowing its driving and braking, with the ability to regenerate braking energy for recharging the batteries. The system should be capable of working without speed or position sensors.

Growing concern over the environmental impacts and oil dependence has prompted the investigation of alternate propulsion technologies for motor vehicles. Recently plugin hybrid technology has emerged as one of the promising alternatives to reduce petroleum consumption and vehicular emissions.

The automotive electrical system for a tracked vehicle for newline defence is very complex as the several systems have to function in close newline proximity.

A comprehensive inventory of emissions (NOx, PM2.5, CO, VOC, CH4, NMHC, C02, S02, Pb, other Heavy metals and particulates characteristics) from the transport sector, in Delhi's NCR region was prepared by using MEET (1999) and COPERT-IV (2007) models.

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.

In this thesis a hybrid electrical powertrain called the Four Quadrant Transducer (4QT) has been evaluated through different driving simulations, which later resulted in the manufacture of a prototype. The simulation of a 12 metric ton distribution truck showed that the 4QT system can reduce the fuel consumption by approximately 30 % during the FTP75 drive cycle.
