In a city arena, an autonomous vehicle proves that discipline, not just speed, is what keeps the road safe.
Into the Arena
Niti Vahan, an Ackermann-steered vehicle, rolls into the city arena. Its camera reads the lane ahead, ready to carry out a pick-up and drop-off run without ever breaking a traffic rule.
Predicting Every Move
Because it constantly predicts its own future path, the Vahan never makes the sudden, selfish moves that cause others to panic. It holds at junctions, signals its turns, and never crowds a neighbor’s space.
Lane by Lane, Junction by Junction
It threads a disciplined path across the arena — keeping its lane, handling intersections, and reaching its milestones — all while respecting the vehicle’s physical limits at every turn.
Parking with Precision
The route ends with a precise stop inside the designated parking zone — item delivered, rulebook intact.
A Quieter, Safer City
Niti Vahan shows that smart control logic — not just faster driving — is what makes a city’s roads safer and more orderly. Discipline is the destination.
- 01 Encode the traffic rulebook as a set of mathematical constraints that a predictive control system can plan against.
- 02 Generate a disciplined path that stops at junctions, signals turns, and completes milestones with minimal rule violations.
- 03 Maintain dynamic stability while respecting the vehicle's physical limits when navigating between locations.
- 04 Execute precise parking within a designated zone to complete the route.
The team that builds the Niti Vahan best performing the tasks — lane keeping, traffic-rule compliance, and pick-up/drop-off — in accordance with the rules will be declared the WINNER. 🏆
All the Best! Happy Learning!
