Intelligent Transport System Conference 2009 at DTU

intelligent transport systemMassive expansion of physical infrastructure relating to surface transport in India requires a major focus on integrating Intelligent Transport System (ITS) into infrastructure development, so as to effectively cater to the need of increased mobility, enhance safety, reduce accident rates and above all solve problems of congestion in mega and metro cities. To explore and discuss how ITS technologies can provide solution to many of our transportation problems like traffic congestion, accidents, emission of toxic gases and so on, Association for Intelligent Transport System (AITS), India along with Delhi Technological University (DTU) has organized a two-day “ITS Conference and Exhibition 2009”, which commenced at DTU Campus.
“ITS for Mobility and Safety Management is a unique conference cum exhibition in India which is bringing Government, Public and Private Agencies, Industry and Academia together to enhance Safety and Efficiency of people, goods and services through ITS.” The theme of this year’s conference was “ITS for Mobility and Safety Management”. The inaugural session of the Conference was presided over by Mr. Mario Ste Marie, Minister (Commercial) and Senior Trade Commissioner, Canadian High Commission, Mr. Chull Ho Lieu, Chairman of 17th ITS WC, Korea, Dr. S.K. Jason Chang, ITS Taiwan, Mr. Hajimo Amano, President, ITS Japan, Prof. P. B. Sharma, Vice Chancellor, DTU and Mr. Amitabh Bajpai, President, AITS. Speaking at the occasion, Mr. Marie remarked, “ITS affects the lives of everyone. Incorporating ITS can ensure smooth and safe movement of people and goods. One of the ways we have integrated ITS in Canada is by introducing ‘Traveller Information System’, w h e r e one can dial 511 a n y - where in C a n a d a and seek d i r e c - t i o n s . T h e t h e m e of this y e a r ’ s c o n f e r - ence is very apt in Indian context where rapid development in infrastructure and transportation is taking place.” In his address, Prof. Sharma em phasized on reducing the pollution generated from the various modes of transportation by introducing green technologies. “It is our responsibility to reduce the harmful emissions generated from the vehicles and tackle the problems of climate change without affecting our mobility. At DTU, we resolve to provide clean fuel and energy technologies, which along with ITS would provide solution to the problems of climate change besides im proving transport system efficacy,” he added. The conference also highlighted that a fraction of budget of physical infrastructure must necessarily be earmarked for integration of ITS into transport infrastructure.
intelligence transport systemSome of the areas that were deliberated upon during the subsessions were: Integration of Transportation & Sustainable Mobility by ITS; Indo-Canadian Co-operation for ITS development, where a collaborative effort on development and deployment of ITS was proposed, to improve safety and maximize the use and efficiency of a multi modal transport system; Integrated approach in transport modeling for multi modal studies, which highlighted the need for state development programs that promote closer linkages of land use and transportation planning, Road pricing and electronic toll collection and Public transport system. Tomorrow’s sessions at the Conference will be on Convergence of Communication and Information Technology Applications in Transport; ITS Safety and Security Solutions, Traveller Information System, and ITS Operations: International Case Studies, besides a roundtable session on ITS and Climate Change.

Workshop on ‘Curriculum Innovations and Development’

One of the major problems plaguing our education system even today is outdated course curriculum. We may have created more institutions and produced large number of graduates but when it comes to the curriculum imparted, there is a huge gap between what is being offered and what is needed by the present and future society. In an endeavour towards bridging this gap and introducing course curriculum that not only addresses the needs of the industry and society but also inspires graduates of engineering and faculty to think beyond the state-of-art, a workshop on ‘Curriculum Innovations and Development’ was organized today at Delhi Technological University (DTU), formerly Delhi College of Engineering.
This workshop was follow-up of a workshop held in August 2009 at DTU. The agenda for session was to revisit the process of curriculum design, make it relevant to the industry, bring in the dimension of creative research and enhance the thinking ability of the students and at the same time provide flexibility and make curriculum agile in the age of rapid knowledge and technology obsolesce. It was attended by eminent experts from academic institutions and industries including Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, Delhi University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Jawaharlal Nehru University, GGSIP University, National Informatics Centre, DRDO and Maruti Udyog Ltd, to mention some, besides senior faculty of DTU. In this address, Prof. P.B. Sharma, Vice Chancellor, DTU, inspired the experts to look ahead and develop a curriculum that makes even leading international universities take a relook at their own syllabi.
“Lets develop a thinking curriculum – a curriculum which makes our student think and deliberate; a talking curriculum – curriculum that talks to the industry, which implies that it gets with the direct requirement of the industry and makes them feel that it is specially designed for them; and a curriculum that satisfies the needs of ever-learning community, be it students or faculty,” he said. Participants at the workshop discussed and deliberated on the course content of all 14 undergraduate and 16 M.Tech. courses at DTU. From the next academic session all UG courses of DTU including the programs which were earlier following Delhi University curriculum will be provided innovated curriculum. Everyone was of unanimous view that the academic programs should be more in sync with the requirements of the local and global industry.
A proposal to reorient the M.Tech. program in Electronics and Communication Engineering to M.Tech. in Signal Processing and Digital Design was also discussed on the occasion. According to Prof. Sharma, “The objective behind this entire exercise is to design and develop a curriculum that we possess with pride and practice with pleasure. It is my mission and vision for 2010 to implement a curriculum at DTU which is at par with the best in the world.”
