The workshop sessions will cover the key perspectives of electric vehicles, including the complexities associated with battery management systems and thermal management. The discussion will aim at an in-depth look at the current challenges and innovations in maintaining and optimizing battery performance, a core component of electric vehicles. The workshop will introduce the concept of a “software-defined vehicle,” where the role of advanced software systems is integrated into the functionality and management of vehicles.

The participants will be exposed to the state of the art concerning autonomous vehicle technology: sensors, data processing, and overall architecture for making autonomous driving possible. The workshop also includes sessions dedicated to alternative fuels and powertrain developments associated with sustainable mobility. The session includes technical reviews on the use of hydrogen in transport, the development of Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine for commercial vehicles, and the latest developments in alternative powertrain systems such as BEV and FCEV.

A visit also planned to Amrita Automotive Research and Testing Centre (AARTC) to showcase practical applications and demonstrations of these advanced technologies. This workshop provides a great opportunity for professionals, researchers, and students to interact with state-of-the-art technology, share technical knowledge, and find solutions for sustainable mobility.

The power train facility consists of 50 to 500kW Dynamometers, Coolant, fuel, and oil conditioning systems, Emission monitoring systems, and HVAC. The transient 150kW dyno is the state of the facility for Bharat VI emission testing. The dyno is supported by a fast-response combustion analyzer and particle size & number measurement system.

The facilities available for NVH studies include Listening studio, Binaural Head Measurement System, Head Lab – Data Acquisition system, Sound level meter, Accelerometers, Free field microphones, Squadriga Data Acquisition system, Modal lab with Shaker and Impact hammer. The above facilities support Psycho Acoustic Analysis, Transfer Path analysis, Modal frequency analysis, and Sound source Identification studies. Performances of vehicles are measured in the vehicle dynamics and RLDA lab. The various parameters like Roll,Pitch,Yaw,Forces,and Loadsactinginvariousdirections can be measured.

The simulation solution can be designed for the development and seamless testing of cars and light-duty vehicles in all development stages (MIL, SIL, HIL, VIL). The facilities available in the centerallow to implementation of virtual test scenarios forthe application areas namely Autonomous Vehicles, ADAS, Powertrain, and Vehicle Dynamics.

Some of the major customers using AARTC include Hinduja Tech, Mahendra, Renault, Cummins, Volvo, Ford, Tata Motors, Bosch and many more. AARTC is committed to the future of mobility.
