The centre for Electric Transporation(CET) has been established by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited at Bhopal with assistance from United Nation Development Programme(UNDP). The centre is envisaged to act as focal point for systems oriented research in the area of electric transportation

Scope of CET

Evaluation of propulsion system of rail vehicles under simulated load conditions by:

  • Computer simulation(emphirical models)
  • Testing on Performance Simulator(Roller Rig).
  • Study of vehicle dynamics of rail vehicles by computer simulation using mathematical models with inhouse validation facility.
  • Automation system for real time computer control and data acquisition
  • Assistance in evaluation, selection and introduction of mass transit systems in large cities
  • Technology scanning and technical documentation library.

Facilites is in the centre
