The document describes a project to design a solar rickshaw that can be manually driven as well as motor driven using solar energy. The objectives are to reduce the effort of rickshaw pullers and use abundantly available solar power. Key aspects discussed include using solar cells to power an electric motor that assists the manual operation of the rickshaw. Calculations are shown for estimating the power required to move different payloads up inclines at various speeds. A CAD model and specifications are provided for a proposed solar rickshaw design with details on the solar panels, battery, motor and controls.
While moving, the vehicles possess some kinetic energy and it is being wasted. This kinetic energy can be utilized to produce power by using a special arrangement called POWER HUMP (SPEED BREAKER
Have you pulled your car up to the gas/petrol pump lately and been shocked by the high
price of gasoline? As the pump clicked past Rs1400 or 1500, maybe you thought about
trading in that SUV for something that gets better mileage. Or maybe you are worried
that your car is contributing to the greenhouse effect. Or maybe you just want to have
the coolest car on the block. Currently, there is a solution for all this problems, it's the
hybrid electric vehicle.
The vehicle is lighter and roomier than a purely electric vehicle, because there is less
need to carry as many heavy batteries. The internal combustion engine in hybrid-electric
is much smaller and lighter and more efficient than the engine in a conventional vehicle.
In fact, most automobile manufacturers have announced plans to manufacture their own
hybrid versions. Hybrid electric vehicles are all around us. Most of the locomotives we
see pulling trains are diesel-electric hybrids. Cities like Seattle have diesel-electric
buses -- these can draw electric power from overhead wires or run on diesel when they
are away from the wires. Giant mining trucks are often diesel-electric hybrids.
Submarines are also hybrid vehicles -- some are nuclear-electric and some are dieselelectric. Any vehicle that combines two or more sources of power that can directly or
indirectly provide propulsion power is a hybrid.
In the present scenario power has becomes major need for human life. Due to day-to-day increase in population and lack of the conventional sources, it becomes necessary that we must depend on non-conventional sources for power generation. While moving, the vehicles posses some kinetic energy and it is being wasted. This kinetic energy can be utilized to produce power by using a special arrangement called “POWER HUMP”.

POWER HUMPS...... power generation using speed breakers!!!Maltesh4jn10me051
ABSTRACT
In the present scenario power becomes major need for human life. Due to day-to-day increase in population and lessen of the conventional sources, it becomes necessary that we must depend on non-conventional sources for power generation. While moving, the vehicles posses some kinetic energy and it is being wasted. This kinetic energy can be utilized to produce power by using a special arrangement called “POWER HUMP”.
The Kinetic energy of moving vehicles can be converted into mechanical energy of the shaft through rack and pinion mechanism. This shaft is connected to the electric dynamo and it produces electrical energy proportional to traffic density. This generated power can be regulated by using zener diode for continuous supply .All this mechanism can be housed under the dome like speed breaker, which is called hump.
The generated power can be used for general purpose like streetlights, traffic signals. The electrical output can be improved by arranging these power humps in series this generated power can be amplified and stored by using different electric devices. The maintenance cost of hump is almost nullified. By adopting this arrangement, we can satisfy the future demands to some extent.
E-Rickshaw has been the latest scapegoat in policy circles thanks to populist measures taken by the government. In the absence of the clear cut policy; the existence of Electrically powered rickshaws is under fire. CPPR through this presentation aims to give an overview of the current situation and mentions the need for a concrete policy which will enable the integration of this innovative and friendly system into urban/rural transport network
Initially worked on a prototype for value estimations and later employed the prototype design on an E-Rickshaw. PWM based controller is used for charging Panels and allowing simultaneous charge discharge of batteries

Over 90% of traffic accidents are caused by driver error; the safety potential of self – drive is well understood. When traffic accidents become rare, a motorcycle is as safe as an SUV. Vehicle weights could fall to the point that pod-cars weighing less than the riders are the preferred choice in the city. Since 65% of U.S. vehicle miles travelled (VMT) are urban, the ramifications are enormous.

Solar and Wind Powered Hybrid Energy Vehiclekushaal hn
The wind and solar powered car has high efficiency and is a maintenance free vehicle. The car works on the concept of charging and discharging of the battery on board. When the vehicle runs the motor consumes power from the battery and after certain kilometers, it needs to be recharged. In this car, power is generated from wind turbines and the solar modules and are directed to the battery for the charging. The battery is recharged on board and the car doesn’t need to be standby for charging. To conserve the energy and to utilize it at best we are designing a vehicle which will run on the battery which will get charged by free energy sources. Then as per the requirement, we connected the solar panel and wind energy generator motor
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck

Vishal Balodia(BE/1149/08)
Prateek Jha (BE/1181/08)
Sunny Kumar(BE/1194/08)
2. Why Solar Rickshaw ?
1.To reduce the effort of rickshaw puller
2. To use abundantly available solar power
3. To reduce the use of fossil fuels
4. Ecofriendly in nature
5. High future prospects in Renewable energy field
3. Objective
To design a hybrid rickshaw, manual driven as well as motor driven
using Solar Energy to reduce the effort of rickshaw puller. The payload
would be 250 kg, two passengers with a driver.
This includes:
Maximising the surface area of the hood.
Minimising the weight of the rickshaw.
Selection of motor and other circuitry elements.
Circuit design (electrical and mechanical).
Selection of solar cells.
4. Introduction
The sun provides the earth with energy at a rate of more than 100 000 TW
(1 TW = 1012 W).
India has high solar insolation, an ideal combination for using solar energy.
This energy can be used to drive a rickshaw.
To reduce the effort of rickshaw puller decision has been taken to assist
rickshaw puller with the help of solar driven motors. This can be done in
two ways:
Modification / improvement in prevailing rickshaw design.
Modification / improvement in solar cells.
Since the field related to improvement in solar cells is confined for scientific
research we will purchase solar cells directly from the market and will switch
our focus on the mechanical part i.e. Designing the solar rickshaw.
5. Mathematical Modeling
Force analysis of rickshaw up the inclined plane
F= µMg cos + Mg sin
Power, P=Force (F) × Velocity (V)
7. Solar cells and its selection
Solar cells are devices which convert solar energy directly into electricity by
photovoltaic effect. The current generation of crystalline and amorphous silicon
solar cells has efficiencies between 5% and 17%. Solar cells have been classified into
following types:
• Silicon wafer based solar cells
• Photo-electrochemical solar cells
• Dye sensitize solar cells
8.
9. Battery and its selection
A storage battery is a group of one or more electrochemical
cells which comes in different sizes, shapes and
specifications. Some of the commonly used include :
Lead-Acid
Nickel Cadmium (NiCd)
Lithium ion (Li-ion)
12. Electric Motor and its selection
A electric motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.
Brushless DC motors are powered by direct current and have electronic
commutation system rather than mechanical commutators and brushes.
The current-to-torque and frequency-to-speed relationships of BLDC
motors are linear.

15. Sample Calculations
For total (rickshaw + Passengers + Driver) mass, m = 400 kg to run on a flat
road (ϴ=0o) running at a speed of 15 kmph/4 mps, the power required is
3136 W.
For the same rickshaw running on an inclined road (ϴ=4o) at the same speed,
the power required is 4228 W.
The extra effort to be compensated is 4228 – 3136 = 1092 W
For the selected solar cell, power output per unit area = 168.1 W/m2
Through our CAD model we have achieved roughly 2 m2 generating
168.1 *2= 336.2 W
16. Future Aspects
To increase the efficiency of solar cell.
To reduce the weight of the frame and body.
To use light weight high energy density battery.
To use alternator or regenerative braking down the
slope to charge the battery.
To use sensors and actuators for speed control and
battery indicator.
