2019 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India) | 2019
Collaboration of Automotive, Connected Solutions and Energy Technologies for sustainable Public Transportation for Indian cities
Abstract
India is a large developing country with more than 1.3 Bn people. While majority of the Country’s population stays in towns and rural areas, there is an exodus of masses to cities for accessing higher education, better jobs, and comfortable living. Transportation has always been the backbone of any economy. The seamless and efficient movement of goods & people is critical for the sustained economic progress, environment and people’s well-being. In the absence of reliable public transportation today in many cities, people need to depend more on personal vehicles causing congestion of roads and air pollution. The new emerging technologies in Automotive, Connected solutions and Energy sectors have the capability to deal with this challenge effectively.
