Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, I.T.S. Engineering College organized an International Webinar on“Smart Electrification Strategies for Future Autonomous Modes of E-Transportation”.The talk was delivered by the eminent speaker Dr.Sheldon S. Williamson, Prof.&Canada Research Chair, Ontario Tech University, Canada.I.T.S.E.C. Executive Director- Dr. Vikas Singh, Director- Prof. Sanjay Yadav and Dean (Academics)- Prof. Gagan Deep Arora presence graced the program. The guest was facilitated by HOD ECE- Prof. Monika Jain.
Vice Chairman of I.T.S Engineering College, Mr. SohilChaddha has appreciated that learning through these kinds of webinars during the COVID-19 lockdown period will enhance our knowledge.
This session was full of tips for the upcoming generation, how they can provide valuable inputs in this emerging field of research. At the end of the session, queries of the participants were taken up by the Prof. Williamson. He concluded his talk by suggesting that in Indian scenario of autonomous transportation system, “Make in India” policy will lead to economic solutions. This will reduce the overall cost of E- transportation system in India.
The webinar was open for Industrialists, Academicians, Research Scholars, M. Tech. and B. Tech. students and hence participants were from many reputed institutes and companies, such as V.I.T. Vellore, Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh, I.E.T. Lucknow, Chandigarh University, Galgotias College of engineering and technology, Amity University, Rapidcode Technologies Private Limited, Life and Nusantara Development Foundation etc. Webinar was being closed by vote of thanks by the moderator to the speaker and all participants for giving their valuable time.
This webinar was very informative as the students were able to know about the new ideas in very demanding E- transportation technology. As we all are aware that the driverless, autonomous electrified means of micro-mobility already bring progressive lifestyle changes to the civilization. These includes: E-bikes, drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, scooters, and skateboards etc. In the session, Prof. Williamson discussed about the effect of current outbreak due to Covid-19 pandemic, therefore he explained that humankind around the world needed rapid commercialization of autonomous micro-mobility solutions, especially to avoid human interface.
The participants got an opportunity to get new ideas about the designs which can contribute specifically to the enhancement of wireless charging research for future micro mobility, as well as for E-transportation.
