IIT-Hyderabad team comes up with tech for driverless vehicles, tests underway for scale up
Agencies Aiming to develop India-specific smart mobility solutions, a team from IIT Hyderabad has come up with a technology for driverless vehicles to navigate through the institute's campus. The AI based concept has been created by the Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation, or TiHAN at IIT Hyderabad. "We are exploring autonomous navigation technology, specific to Indian scenario in both aerial and ground vehicles. In ground vehicles, we are looking at how the vehicle can be driven in the Indian scenario and how to drive keeping in view the limitations and challenges (related to) infrastructure," Santhosh Reddy, Hub Executive Officer, told PTI on Sunday. An autonomous (driverless) vehicle, developed by the team, has been running in the institute's campus since the last one and a half years on a normal road where the students and others travel and there have been no accidents till date, he said more than 10,000 passengers have already travelled in the vehicle and that the feedback from them has been vehicle is not used on public roads at technology is viewed as suitable for deployment in locations such as airports, warehouses and large educational or industrial campuses. The 'autonomous navigation stack' can operate in any climatic conditions and any vehicle, from electric to even IC (Internal Combustion) engine vehicle. It can be converted into autonomous vehicle, Reddy told PTI Videos. At present, a driver travels in the vehicle as a precautionary measure but he would not interfere with the vehicle's monitors the vehicle and reports any issues in its functioning to the team, Reddy team, when it started working on the project, just wanted to go step by step without aiming for operating the vehicle either in a controlled environment (like in the campus of an educational institute) or for commercial first challenge was to set up the vehicle which can drive by itself. Later on, the team kept on adding features and safety enhancements, aiming to improve the vehicle's efficiency, he about the current status of the technology or the 'stack', he said efforts were on to improve the safety features and to eliminate the precautionary deployment of the technology developed by them can be fine-tuned according to the vehicle size and other parameters, he autonomous vehicle was demonstrated at some other locations as well, Reddy plans to scale up the project, he said the plan is to enhance the features and meet the industry requirements. Asked if there are plans to introduce the technology for commercial launch of autonomous vehicles in the future, he said the team would like to take it up with support of any industry partners.

India's first driverless bus: IT Hyderabad achieves massive feat, 10,000 passengers experience AI-powered bus, 90 percent people say...
New Delhi: Remember the Ajay Devgn-starrer Tarzan: The Wonder Car, where the car drove without a driver? Now, this is no longer limited to movies. In real life too, such technology has been developed via which a vehicle can be operated without driver. IIT Hyderabad, with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI), has come up with a technology. Not only that, they have even built a driverless bus to test this technology, and the trial has already been conducted. The Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation (TiHAN) at IIT Hyderabad has developed driverless technology powered by AI, according to a Mint report. With the help of this software, a bus can transport students and faculty members within the campus from one place to another without a driver. It is important to note that this technology is currently limited to the IIT Hyderabad campus. However, the technology is likely to be introduced in transportation sector soon. Officials associated with the project believe that driverless technology will help in reducing road accidents and fatalities. Here are some of the key details: The Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation (TiHAN) at IIT Hyderabad has developed driverless technology powered by AI With the help of this software, a bus can transport students and faculty members within the campus from one place to another without a driver. TiHAN officials say that the driverless bus is currently not being operated on public roads. So far, the bus has transported more than 10,000 passengers Around 90 percent of the passengers have given positive feedback about the trip. The bus is equipped with various sensors that help it understand its surroundings. This system can work for both electric and fuel-powered vehicles. With the help of AI, it can detect surrounding traffic and vehicle movement, and then proceed accordingly. The driverless bus has been successful in its trial, with other educational institutions and the Telangana government also showing interest in it. They believe it can be used at airports, large college campuses, or industrial areas where there is not much traffic. It is possible that in the future, such vehicles or buses may pass by you, and this could become normal for you.
