Dice Automotive:
Dice Automotive is an event launched by the SMME and DICE Foundation that provides
a platform for automotive related innovations by motivating people from both academia
and industry to utilize state-of-art technologies to design and present an innovative idea.
This event is an opportunity for all students and industry/research organizations to
participate with their ingenious research, projects and innovations.
Scope:
1. Automotive Design & Manufacturing techniques
2. Fuels, Fuel Cells for Electric & Hybrid Vehicles
3. Systems and Methods for Economy improvement
4. Emissions
5. Advanced Materials for Vehicles
6. Automotive Electronics, Controls and Instrumentation
7. Ergonomic Design of Automotive
8. Vehicle Dynamics
9. Active & Passive Safety
10. Human- Machine Interfacing
11. Automotive CFD Design / Analysis
12. Performance Enhancement
13. Motor Sports Engineering
14. Others (Thermal Design, Structural Design etc.)
List of projects presented this year at Dice Automotive 2014 are as follows:
A very lightweight chassis design which is sturdy but easy to manufacture and analyze as well.
6) Active and passive safety in the automobile (Comsats Institute of Information technology
Sahiwal):
An explanation and demonstration of how the safety has been improved in their vehicle. The
structure has been created such that it withstands force load applied on it to a certain degree
because of its design. And there are also other supports built in the front of the car which offer
the passenger protection.
8) Automotive spark ignited engine idle speed control system (Muhammad Ali Jinnah
University):
A control system to control the speed of a vehicle with a SI engine in idle speed mode.
A car is fitted with a FGPA based sensor and control system. It receives signals from the car in
front of it and maintains constant speed equal to the car ahead of it and also applies brakes when
the car ahead of it applies brakes to avoid a collision.
11) Increasing efficiency and emission control of IC engine using HHO as auxiliary fuel (HITEC
University):
Presence of carbon element in a conventional fuel like petrol and diesel leads to emission
pollution which are associated with the combustion process in traditional internal combustion
engine. OxyHydrogen gas is an enriched mixture of hydrogen and oxygen bonded together
molecularly and magnetically to produce gas which decreases emissions.
12) Design and fabrication of automobile door using composite materials (College of Electrical
and Mechanical Engineering, NUST) :
A low cost solution for replacement of vehicle parts that can be fabricated by SMEs. VARI
(volume assisted resin infusion) process is used in order to achieve an enhanced volume fraction
for better specific stiffness.
13) Design and development of chassis dynamometer for motorbike (NED University):
A chassis dynamometer capable of measuring power up to 10 hp. It can be integrated with
LabView software. It is easy to operate and maintain. It is cost effective. Te eddy current
absorber provides loading capabilities to properly tune and simulate road driving conditions for
motorcycles.
15) Development of Digital Image Correlation for advanced composite testing (University of
Engineering and Technology Taxila):
Digital image correlation is a novel method of calculating material properties, damage and
fracture in difficult configurations of composite materials. Inter laminar shear strain and shear
modulus is calculated using digital image correlation in a four point bending test of a glass fiber
reinforced polymer, by observing the cross section.
