The concept
A large private sector enterprise
would like to explore new growth avenues in major world markets
with a specific focus on India, with a view of pursuing
ambitious growth trajectories, addressing larger market-place
opportunities and contributing significantly to larger
socio-economic needs. The business plan should seek to leverage
natural and/or human resources and capabilities unique to India.
The plan may cover an established industry or a service area
through a green field project and/or an acquisition. The plan
should chart a roadmap to a dominant market position and
subsequent expansion for international operations.
Contestants are required to
envisage scalable business plans within the framework of the
following industry sector. In order to provide the contestants
an idea of some of the opportunities existing in this sector,
certain cues have been provided. These cues are meant to direct
the attention of the contestants to certain sub-sectors and/or
markets and are not binding on the actual business plan itself.

Choose
an existing automotive system component from list and develop the
linear mathematical model of the plant.
List:
Power train, suspension, steering, engine, transmission, gear, fuel
cell, hybrid power, fuel injection.
|
NO ACTIVITY
|
Use
the interactive LabVIEW Control Design Assistant and Mathscript
window to develop linear model of the plant model.
Analyze
the open loop characteristics of the plant using time or frequency
response functions. Synthesize the model of a controller for
controlling the linear model of the plant. Simulate the controller
and analyze the open loop characteristics.
|
Add
non-linearity to the plant model to accommodate for real world
operating conditions.
Connect
the controller to the plant model and analyze closed loop
characteristics of the model.
Complete
the control design process by running the plant model on the PC and
demonstrate controllability and observability of the plant and
controller by deploying the control process on Compact RIO.
