Govt to soon introduce rule requiring silent EVs to have vehicle alerting system
New Delhi: In a move to alert pedestrians about approaching electric two and three wheelers, and e-rickshaws, which hardly emit any noise, govt will soon introduce a new regulation requiring manufacturers to have an electronic system that automatically creates sound when these vehicles are moving at speeds of up to 20 kmph. The transport ministry has published a draft automobile industry standard (AIS) for Quiet Road Transport Vehicles (QRTV) requiring fitment of Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS). This safety feature primarily is designed for electric and hybrid vehicles emitting artificial sounds to alert pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users about the presence of the vehicle, especially at low speeds where these vehicles are very quiet. When EVs run at higher speed, their tyres generate noise. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi Sources said the need for such an alert was felt soon after the introduction of EVs in the country, especially after reports of road accidents involving these vehicles as pedestrians could not spot them early. The AVAS is mandated in electric and hybrid vehicles across several countries, including the European Union, United States, and Japan. While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the US has made this system mandatory for all new EVs sold since September 2020, Europe implemented this regulation in July 2019. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "Since there is a significant increase in EV penetration, particularly in two and three wheelers, and e-rickshaws, now there is a need to bring this regulation. The matter has been discussed at meetings of the CMVR-TSC, country's apex automotive standard making entity," said a senior official. As per the draft AIS, there may be a mechanism to enable the driver to halt the operation of the AVAS in case of a need. Sources said the standard will be notified soon after completing the consultation process. They added that since this is linked to safety of other road users, govt would have to make this mandatory. "We are carrying out a study on the need of AVAS in electric two-wheelers," said Anoop Chawla, professor of mechanical engineering department at IIT-Delhi. Apex automobile industry body, SIAM had approached IIT-Delhi for the study.

Air India crash compensation row: How should the airline allay fears? Experts debate
India Today has accessed Air India's compensation forms for families of victims in the Ahmedabad plane crash. The forms seek information about the victim's employment status and financial dependency of family members on the deceased.

So, how should the airline allay the fears of the families of crash victims? Legal experts discuss this and more on the show.

Automated parking system gets mixed response in Pune
Pune: Space limitations in major cities are driving a gradual shift towards elevated and high-rise car parking solutions. Modern technology now offers several advanced options beyond the traditional elevated parking commonly found in residential complexes. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Project requirements dictate the choice of design, with options including the chess set pattern, aisle pattern, and rotary pattern, among others. While most people still prefer conventional ground-level parking, the severe space constraints in cities like Mumbai necessitate high-rise car parks that can extend up to 70 meters in height. In contrast, homebuyers in the Pune area show mixed preferences when it comes to these more intricate car parking designs. "Consumers are quickly getting used to modern parking systems, which now even come with AI. These systems can tell you exactly how many parking spots are open, cutting down on the time you spend driving around looking for one. Developers, too, are finding it impossible to meet parking requirements with just traditional stilt and basement parking, so they have to go with mechanized systems," Manish Jain, president of Credai Pune Metro, said. A developer based in Pimpri Chinchwad said, "While complicated parking designs are still rare, they are starting to appear in redevelopment projects where the plot sizes are very small. However, in areas like Pimpri Chinchwad, we have even seen some buyers cancel their bookings if a project features elevated parking." Milind Padole, founder of Pune-based Affordable Robotics and Automation Pvt Ltd (ARAPL), said Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru are major markets. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "High-rise parking systems are one of the verticals of the company that is involved in providing robotics and automation solutions to car manufacturers and e-commerce companies. It has a 30% share in the automated parking space in Mumbai," he said. "There is no space in cities like Mumbai. Everything is redevelopment. In the case of high-rise parking, we can fit around 60 to 70 cars in the space of three cars. The automated parking consumes around one unit of electricity when used once. In localities like Walkeshwar in Mumbai, where there is no space at all, but the buyers are ready, we can install chess-type parking, which can cost up to Rs 11 lakh per spot," he said. The ARAPL has installed some automated parking for public projects in a couple of smart cities like Visakhapatnam and Kerala. However, it is treading lightly in this business as adaptation is happening at a slow pace, either because of preference or lack of funds. "The technology exists, but there is some resistance from the end-customers. At some point, civic administration and developers need to decide if roads are to be used for parking or driving. If roads are meant for driving, then cars should not be parked on the roads," Padole said.
