Existing testing facilities in the area of safety, viz. battery safety lab, modular infrastructure for verification & validation (V&V) of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and cylinder testing are being augmented at ARAI. Details of the same are given below. Battery Safety Lab: The facilities being established will cater to all prevailing and futuristic national/ international standards/ regulations for all the battery domains. They are technology agnostic to support various sectors such as consumer electronic, medical devices, industrial equipment and stationary storage, apart from automotive applications. These facilities will support Indian industry to develop, validate and certify their battery technologies locally. Modular Infrastructure for V&V of ADAS: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are active safety systems designed for motorized vehicles. Their major objective is to improve the safety performance of motorized vehicles. However, before these complex systems are released onto the market they need to be tested extensively. The testing infrastructure being established will support the Start-ups, MSMEs, Research Institutes working in the domain of advanced and intelligent vehicles and engaged in developing control systems for different OEM’s and Tier 1. These facilities can be directly utilized by the different stake holders for validating their ADAS control systems in a vehicle and traffic environment. Cylinder Testing: These facilities will support in meeting industry’s requirement of approval of gaseous cylinders covering Type-I to Type-IV (type approval, batch approval, periodic testing and development testing) and also, foster technology upgradation in terms of light weight cylinders required for CNG applications. Also, these facilities will be useful for approval of gaseous cylinders for various applications as per Gas Cylinder Rules, 2016.
