In news– Recently, India’s first-of-its-kind, state-of-the-art “Autonomous Navigation ” facility to develop unmanned ground and aerial vehicles was launched in the IIT Hyderabad campus.

What is TiHAN?

  • TiHAN (Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation) is a multidisciplinary initiative that will make India a global player in the futuristic and next generation ‘smart mobility’ technology. 
  • It is developed at a budget of Rs. 130 crores by the Union Ministry of Science & Technology.
  • The vision of TiHAN-IITH is to become a global player for next generation smart mobility technologies and the Ministry of Science & Technology has come forward to support this initiative, which will be a trendsetter for others as well.
  • It will be the source of futuristic technology generation for autonomous vehicles. 
  • Limited testbeds or proving grounds exist worldwide to investigate the operation of unmanned and connected vehicles in a controlled environment by simulating various scenarios that may occur in real-life traffic operations, ranging from frequently occurring to extreme cases. 
  • A few examples include Millbrook Proving Grounds in the UK, M-City in the USA, CETRAN in Singapore, K-City in South Korea, JARI in Japan, etc. 
  • In India, there is presently no such testbed facility for assessing autonomous vehicle performance, and hence there is need for this TiHAN Testbed.
  • TiHAN is developing and deploying a real-time Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) system utilising autonomous UAVs and ground/surface vehicles for many application sectors of the national importance of this decade. 
  • This testbed includes simulation platforms that allow for non-destructive testing of algorithms and prototypes.
  • Also, several real-world scenarios can be emulated on the testbed. 
  • It also provides dummy signboards, pedestrians, overpasses, and bikers to test all real-world conditions.
  • The testing facility also includes an airstrip, soft landing area, hangar for keeping drones, a Ground control station (GCS), Telemetry Station for Performance Evaluation.
  • Under this national mission, IIT Hyderabad has been awarded the Technology Innovation Hub in the technological vertical of ‘Autonomous Navigation and Data Acquisition Systems (UAVs, ROVs. etc.)’. 
  • TiHAN is recognised as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO) by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research.
  • TiHAN, in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad, has started a two-year MTech programme on Smart Mobility, a first-of-its-kind programme in the country.
