More than half of the deaths caused affect the two wheelers in the form of head injuries. Most of these deaths are preventable by the compulsory use of helmets. Studies have shown that wearing a helmet can reduce the fatalities by 70%. Global initiatives have been taken to make helmets a high priority for public health. Many awareness drives have been launched, laws have been enforced in the public interests but still we find people violating the rules and driving very casually without wearing helmets and thereby risking their lives. Hence to overcome this problem we came up with a project of smart helmet. This system is designed in such a way that the vehicle will not start unless the rider wears a helmet and passes the alcohol test, thereby also solving the problem of drunken driving. The helmet has an additional feature of accident indication and reporting through GPS – GSM technology which sends message to the hospitals and family members at the time of accident. This project is designed for people’s safety and is in the best interest of the society.Item Thermal Property Evaluation of Bio Lubricants in ATV(2018-08-03T10:35:18Z) Suresh, G.S; Srujan, Kumar.C; Shankar, S; S.Harsha Vardhan, SaiThe project deals with the thermal property evaluation of various grades of bio lubricants used in All Terrain Vehicle(ATV). The lubricating oil of suitable grade is blended with various percentages of Palm seed oil. The obtained blend is then tested for thermal properties such as flash point, fire point, cloud point, pour point and viscosity. After the blending and testing of the bio-lubricant, the comparison among the various grades are prepared. The bio-lubricant oil is used in the All Terrain Vehicle (ATV). The study of emission characteristics is carried out to determine the composition of pollutants like NOx, CO, unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust. The results are compared with the emission characteristics of a regular lubricant. The project provides the detailed analysis on the reduction on emission levels and increased lubrication property in the ATV which in turn provides better efficiency.Item Experimental Investigation on Performance and Emission Characterists of Mahua Oil Bio Diesel on a Single Cylinder Diesel Engine(2018-08-03T10:26:31Z) Gnanendra, Prasad N; Shreyas, S; O J, Jackson; Harikishor, SIn this project, an experimental investigation was conducted to know the performance and emission characteristics of mahua oil biodiesel in a single cylinder diesel engine. This shows how an edible, abundantly available mahua oil is converted into a biodiesel by a process called transesterification and different properties of mahua bio diesel have been studied. This mahua oil bio diesel is blended with different proportions of diesel on a stationary single cylinder diesel engine, along with exhaust gas recirculation to observe emission and performance characteristics. 5% blend has the least emission of NOX and hydrocarbon comparatively to other blends and diesel 10% blend is found to be giving the best thermal efficiency. 15% blend produced more brake power at higher loads. The specific fuel consumption for 10% blend was found to be the least at 100% EGR. Normalising all the properties, the 10% blend and 100% EGR combination was giving the satisfactory performance characteristics.Item Replaceable Diesel Particulate Filter(2018-08-03T10:07:02Z) Mohd Rahmatullah, Shahbaaz; S. Kaushik, Vinayak; Sagar, Suri; Sriram, NThe Government of India has notified that the Bharat Stage-6(BS-6) standards would be applicable from the 1st of April 2020. For vehicles to be certified under BS-6 standards, the PM released into the atmosphere must be limited to 4.5 mg/km from the present value of 25 mg/km, under BS-4 standards. To achieve this standard, a Replaceable Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is envisaged which is non-regenerative and replaceable in nature . The Replaceable DPF consists of two filters: Pre-Filter which can filter PM particles up to 10 microns and a Fine-Filter which can filter up to 2 microns. The filters are made up of Boro-Silicate Glass Fibre material with Aluminum frame to handle high exhaust temperature. The lifespan of the Pre-Filter would be 1 year or 10000 km while the Fine-Filter must be replaced every 6 months or 5000 km.The entire filter assembly along with the gasket is placed inside a casing and is clamped firmly to prevent any exhaust leakage. The total cost of the filter when mass produced would be around Rs 600 only.Item Analysis of Vehicle Vibration Signals and Its Effect on Human Health(2018-08-03T10:01:26Z) Jeo, Philipji; Sagar, Prajapati; Jaikumar, S; Vinod, SToday ride comfort plays an important role in the vehicle design as well.

Its dimensions, shape should be suitable adequately accommodate a particular tire required for the vehicle. The wheel rim plays a major role in the unsprung weight of a vehicle. By improving the unsprung weight, the dynamics of a vehicle can be improved to a large extent. There is considerable scope to improve the design of the wheels. Different type of wheel bodies available today are steel aluminum, magnesium, titanium alloys. In regular commercial vehicles, steel wheels are generally used. A few performance vehicles have employed the use of carbon fiber and composite materials. A light weight material is considered because it enhances the wheel’s response on braking and acceleration because of the decrease in the rotational weight of the vehicle. By reducing the usprung weight we can accomplish more precise steering and increase in fuel efficiency. In this project we compare and analyze different materials like Al, Mg, Ti, Carbon fiber and some composite materials also employing various designs in an effort to optimize the performance aesthetics of a wheel. The project is carried out on a OEM wheel of a specific car. By using CATIA, a three dimensional wheel rim model is designed and for analysis purpose model is imported to the software to ANSYS Workbench 18. The fundamental thing is to direct a stress analysis of wheel by considering the loads acting on it.Item Design and Fabrication of Regenerative Braking System(2018-08-03T09:19:40Z) Anjan, Simkhada; D’silva Sterine, Anthony; Rohan, Manandhar; Shiva Kumar, PatilItem Influence of Canola Oil on Performance and Emission Characteristics of a Single Cylinder Diesel Engine(2018-08-03T09:13:58Z) Akarsh; Aldwin, Rajan; D, Praveen; Ashwin, UnnikrishnanNumber of Vehicles is growing day by day which means the usages of automotive fuels are increasing. The extensive use of petroleum products as a fuel for engines results in global warming due to greenhouse emission .As the source of fuel such as diesel and petroleum are said to be in shortage in a couple of years and also increase in the price of petroleum products has grabbed the attention towards alternative fuel. Bio diesel is one among such alternative fuels. Bio diesel is a fuel that is generated from animal fat or vegetable oil. It is renewable energy source since agriculture is the main source. The main advantage of using bio diesel as a fuel is, it reduces the greenhouse effect by reducing carbon di oxide released during burning which results in the reduction of global warming it also beneficial economically as large scale production of biodiesel is lesser than conventional petroleum products. In this study we are producing bio diesel using used and unused Canola oil by trans esterification process and we are conducting a performance and emission test of 4 stroke single cylinder diesel engine using 10% and 20% blends (i.e.B10 and B20) of canola bio diesel. And comparing the performance and emission result with that of pure diesel.Item Design and Fabrication of All Terrain Vehicle(2018-08-03T09:04:10Z) Vivekesh, K.V; Varsha, .M; Akshay Raju, C.S; Praveen, .PThe purpose of the present work is to optimize the design of a vehicle on the basis of hill climb, rock crawl, acceleration, manoeuvrability and endurance on land as well as in muddy terrain and to fabricate the vehicle according to rally race specifications.
