Title: A navigation system for low-cost autonomous all-terrain-vehicles
Author: Mhapankar, Shantanu
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering, Automobiles--Design and construction, Computer engineering
Description: In the last decade, there has been significant research work in the field of autonomous on-road vehicle, but, research in automating off-road vehicles has been largely untouched. The main aim of this thesis was to propose a robust framework for an...

Title: ANALYSIS OF INDIVIDUAL, COMBINED AND 2-STEP VARIATION IN INDUCTION SYSTEM OF AN IC ENGINE TO OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE AND FUEL EFFICIENCY
Author: SAWANT, PAURAS
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Automobiles--Design and construction
Description: Naturally aspirated internal combustion (IC) engines with conventional intake assembly are tuned only over a narrow speed range to produce an induction boost by capitalizing the pressure waves arising in the intake manifold. In this research, inta...

Title: Autonomous Control of an All-terrain Vehicle using Embedded Systems and Artificial Intelligence Techniques
