VEHICLE TESTING LABORATORY

The Vehicle Testing Laboratory covers a wide range of vehicle features, from individual component analysis, service, and fault diagnosis, to emissions testing, which forms a “Garage under House”. Student candidates are trained in subjective testing, wherein the vehicle assemblies and sub-assemblies are dismantled, checked, and assembled. In addition to the subjective testing, the laboratory enables the users to perform objective testing methodologies as well. The progressive nature of the laboratory leans towards dynamic testing facilities where the on-road performance assessment of vehicles ranging from mopeds to light commercial vehicles (including three-wheelers) can be tested. The Vehicle Testing Laboratory forms the Automotive Testing Ecosystem, skilling up the student candidates to match the demands of the automotive industry.

Major equipment available

ENGINE AND FUEL TESTING LABORATORY

Engine Testing Lab focuses on the development and testing of new kinds of fuels in IC engines. Active research is being carried out on low polluting IC Engines with low carbon alternate fuels, gaseous fuel research, GDI engine research etc. In our laboratory, we have a GDI engine setup and computerized diesel engine testing facilities with AVL emission measurement devices etc.

VEHICULAR STRUCTURES AND DRIVELINE SYSTEMS LABORATORY

Vehicular structures and driveline systems laboratory provides the basic knowledge, principle of operation and performance of various components and drives in an Automotive Chassis and Transmission system. It help to Understand the basics of Vehicle frames, Front and Rear axles and acquire the fundaments of automotive driveline systems. Through this laboratory, the various components associated with suspension systems are explored and knowledge of braking system, Wheels and tyres is imparted to the students.

Major equipment available

AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS SYSTEM LABORATORY

Automotive electrical and electronics system laboratory trains students in the nuances of Electric motor design improvement, Battery thermal management and design improvements, implementation of the cyber-physical system for electric vehicles to enhance its cyber security and online solution and online fault detection of the automotive electric system in vehicles.

ARTIFACT DISSECTION LABORATORY

Artifact Dissection teaches students about engineering concepts and design principles by having them explore the engineered products around them, to enhance the knowledge of machine tools and improve the skills in common maintenance. It involves studying the intent and function of a mechanical systems like Internal Combustion Engines, sewing machine, washing machines etc. This is effected by disassembling them in order to see how this intent is realized, then reassembling it. This exploration involves having students work in small teams which lead to insight on materials, function, design alternatives, human factors and manufacturing.

VEHICLE DYNAMICS LABORATORY

Vehicle Dynamics involves the study of the motion of vehicles, the interaction of the vehicle with its surroundings, the influence of forces on vehicles and the response behaviour of vehicles to different road conditions. The complexity of the input and output parameters for vehicle motion is analyzed, and a solution is arrived at. The fundamental concepts derived from the dynamics of machines and systems coupled with the control logic of such systems form the foundation of the subject. Thus, Vehicle Dynamics requires an interdisciplinary approach to solving vehicle motion problems and arriving at solutions.
