Mission Atrilab

Mission:  Develop and promote innovative knowledge embedded intelligent infrastructure technologies to improve quality of lives at reducing costs to create wealth for common man!
Strategy: Digitally empowered knowledge-embedded- infrastructure-evolution to make basic infrastructure of roads, railways, air/sea ports, power management, healthcare, water/sewage management, municipal house keeping functions, habitat development for under-privileged, agricultural water management/ harvesting/ transportation to processing centers, basic food processing and delivery systems, educational support – almost covering the entire gamut of human life.
Plan of Action: Play the role of a catalyst as well as come up with practical concepts to convince the primary owners/ creators of infrastructures to try out pilot projects in each of the human endeavor, to become a model for others to follow.

Current Projects:

• Anti-collision Device networks first version to be upgraded to SIL level 4 in three years, to auto-drive and control trains.


• Satdham system of train management at stations to be fully developed for integrating with the ACD network to create Intelligent Rail Transport system.


• Complete development of Self- stabilizing tracks for railways, with next generation intelligence built in to monitor and direct maintenance effort.


• Rolling stock in line health monitoring system to reliably identify through vibration signature analysis, less than healthy rolling stock, which needs attention.


• Complete development of Skybus technologies


• Derailment arrestors technology improvements


• Suspenders to have intelligence to control loading and oscillations and improved safety against unforeseen combination of events causing adverse conditions.


• Sky-stations to have in-built intelligence to deal with differently enabled users


• Special auto-driving devices with artificial intelligence, to be capable of handling safely all conceivable as well as improbable train management challenges efficiently.


• Improved flexible coach design with built in self-monitoring intelligence, causing paradigm shift to produce better performance at lower costs.


• Extension to automatically manage house keeping functions for a municipality


• High-speed economic inter-city transport for goods and people using the Skybus technology.


• Sea-ports: Improve by ten-fold productivity of ports utilizing Skybus technology, by implementing Sky-con service. The ports can become empowered with intelligent cargo handling systems


• Airports: Intelligent airport design incorporating the Skybus technology, transforms the airport as we know, the design approach to handle millions of passengers will be positively influenced.


• Rail based transport for inaccessible and inhospitable Himalayan mountain range, for people and goods including defence requirements, with all weather capability with self-propelled units can be provided by the Skybus technology, most economically.


• Water-supply/sewerage systems: Next generation systems with built-in knowledge embedded devices net working with each other, to produce the most cost effective services with improved quality.


• Roads/habitats: Concepts of flowing, self-balancing structural elements embedded with intelligence designed to produce affordable habitats for the economically challenged.
