“…In the Indian context, plenty of researchers have attempted to understand the factors influencing the willingness to adopt BEVs ( 14 , 42 , 43 , 45–48 , 51–53 , 58–72 ). The majority of the performed studies have either explored the adoption of BEVs in a generic manner (without focusing on any specific mode) or have focused on modes other than BORs.…”

Conventionally, public transportation has been the responsibility of the government. In developing countries, however, government-provided public transportation is often inadequate: people’s mobility needs are best met by private modes, such as shared auto-rickshaws. In India, auto-rickshaws serve as a popular last-mile transportation alternative as well as a public transportation substitute. The mode share of auto-rickshaws in major Indian cities is significant. Electrifying this mode will certainly result in a significant reduction in air pollution levels. It is therefore imperative to identify the factors which influence rickshaw operators (ROs)’ willingness to adopt battery-operated rickshaws (BORs) in India. The present study aims to identify and explore the factors that contribute to the adaptability of battery electric vehicles in India and measure the satisfaction level of ROs with the selected factors. By using structural equation modeling, the present research found that, from the viewpoint of 478 ROs, vehicle-related attributes and economy-related attributes are most influential on the adaptability of BORs. Furthermore, the one-way analysis of variance revealed that willingness to adopt BORs is significantly related to the age of the ROs. From the standpoint of government, as well as electric vehicle manufacturers, this study would be helpful in understanding the tastes, expectations, and needs of ROs if they adopt BORs.

“…Though the national and many state governments are deriving out policies to provide incentives on purchase and use of EVs [6]. With NEMMP, FAME I and FAME II (by Department of Heavy Industry) the government of India is encouraging widespread adoption of EVs in major cities, further by GST slashing, exemption from permits requirements, road tax incentives and by building charging stations the government is working on developing a sustainable EV ecosystem in the country [10].…”

The ultrasonic transducers have numerous applications in industries, including medical probes for performing ultrasound scans. One of the significant drawbacks of the ultrasonic transducer is the wastage of a large portion of energy, due to high acoustic impedance, while transmitting ultrasonic waves to the target object. The present study is aimed to investigate the material design of the piezo-composite transducer and improve its performance. Different piezo-composite transducers were simulated in the COMSOL environment by varying input parameters, and three key performance indicators (KPI) were calculated. Many constraint-based multivariable optimization algorithms have been used to maximize the KPIs. A set of parameters, such as Sensitivity and Fractional Bandwidth, have been found to increase the performance of piezo-composite transducer model and its overall efficiency. This study is intended to impinge unidirectional property to the transducer which is found to be beneficial in more accurate medical as well as structural reports and cost savings.

Introduction. Hybrid electric vehicles are offering the most economically viable choices in today's automotive industry, providing best solutions for a very high fuel economy and low rate of emissions. The rapid progress and development of this industry has prompted progress of human beings from primitive level to a very high industrial society where mobility used to be a fundamental need. However, the use of large number of automobiles is causing serious damage to our environment and human life. At present most of the vehicles are relying on burning of hydrocarbons in order to achieve power of propulsion to drive wheels. Therefore, there is a need to employ clean and efficient vehicles like hybrid electric vehicles. Unfortunately, earlier control strategies of series hybrid electric vehicle fail to include load disturbances during the vehicle operation and some of the variations of the nonlinear parameters (e.g. stator’s leakage inductance, resistance of winding etc.). The novelty of the proposed work is based on designing and implementing two robust sliding mode controllers (SMCs) on series hybrid electric vehicle to improve efficiency in terms of both speed and torque respectively. The basic idea is to let the engine operate only when necessary keeping in view the state of charge of battery. Purpose. In proposed scheme, both performance of engine and generator is being controlled, one sliding mode controllers is controlling engine speed and the other one is controlling generator torque, and results are then compared using 1-SMC and 2-SMC’s. Method. The series hybrid electric vehicle powertrain considered in this work consists of a battery bank and an engine-generator set which is referred to as the auxiliary power unit, traction motor, and power electronic circuits to drive the generator and traction motor. The general strategy is based on the operation of the engine in its optimal efficiency region by considering the battery state of charge. Results .Mathematical models of engine and generator were taken into consideration in order to design sliding mode controllers both for engine speed and generator torque control. Vehicle was being tested on standard cycle. Results proved that, instead of using only one controller for engine speed, much better results are achieved by simultaneously using two sliding mode controllers, one controlling engine speed and other controlling generator torque.
