“Student Innovator of the Year” award category at IATIA for the year 2016
Final year project of Automobile Engineering department by the name Solar Driven Car made by our students GARVIT DUDEJA, CHIRAG MALHOTRA & RAIS RAJA under the guidance of Mr. Harpinder Singh has was selected as one of the winners (1st Runner-up) in the “Student Innovator of the Year” award category at the Indian Automotive Technology and Innovation Awards (IATIA) for the year 2016.
An Award of Euro 450 was given in the form of Journals and Books during the Award Ceremony to the students.
The award is been given for application on “Enhancement of Electric Vehicles with Safety Devices”. The designed and developed vehicle comprises with the innovation such as : Ultra-capacitor, Three-dimensional solar panel charging, Electronic gadgets (like G.P.S navigation system, overloading sensing system, security system), Pre-collision indication, Chassis with impact indicating sensors, Vehicle to Vehicle communication using Bluetooth, Automatic roof water collector. Apart from innovation as an tool, the team has also achieved the stable efficiency through- charging the battery from the solar panels, fabricating vehicle chassis with high strength-light weight density, interfacing the controller with aurduino to have a less intake of current and initial power delivers to motor by ultra capacitor to eliminate voltage fluctuations of batteries.
The award was given on the night of December 16th, 2016 at The Grand Hotel, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi.
