Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad has launched a driverless bus service run by Artificial Intelligence on its campus. These buses have been prepared by Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation (Tihan). This service will not only make the journey easier inside the campus, but is a big step towards smart mobility in India.
More than 10,000 people experienced experience
- Tihan’s team, led by Professor P. Rajalakshmi, has successfully designed and deployed these self-driving electric shots. So far, these buses have traveled over 10,000 passengers and have achieved 90% satisfaction ratings. These come in two variants (6-seater and 14-seater).
Smart and safe features
- These buses have features like automatic emergency brake and adaptive cruise control. These features help the bus to identify the obstacles on the way, keep safe distance from pedestrians and other vehicles and change the speed according to the need. Their technology has been certified at TRL-9 level, that is, they have been successfully tested on the real road.
Tihan’s role in India’s autonomous technology
- Apart from IIT Hyderabad, Tihan’s work can also change the transport sector of India. This hub has set up the country’s first automatic driving test center, where this technology can be tested and certified under Indian road conditions. This center will provide better facilities and necessary data to companies and research institutes.
Preparation of future innovators
- Tihan, AI and Machine are preparing new generation innovators by giving special training in learning. The aim is that India has good talent in these new technologies and the country can compute in the world.
