2 Research Assistant vacancies at Indian Institute of Technology Dhanbad (IIT Dhanbad)
Applications are invited by Indian Institute of Technology Dhanbad (IIT Dhanbad) for filling 2 contractual posts of Research Assistant under a research project. Last Date for submission of applications is 05-04-2026.
| Post Name | Research Assistant |
| Project Name | Design and development of advanced anti-collision system for heavy vehicles in Mining sectors |
| Project Description | This R&D project focuses on enhancing the safety of high-capacity autonomous and manual mining machinery (like haul trucks and excavators) in complex open-cast environments. The system aims to eliminate "blind spots" by integrating proximity sensors and wireless communication to detect obstacles, personnel, or other vehicles in real-time. The research involves extensive mines visits to collect field data on ranging and signal intensity in dusty, low-light conditions. Engineers use ANSYS and LS-DYNA to perform high-fidelity crash simulations and structural integrity analysis, ensuring the anti-collision hardware can withstand the harsh mechanical stresses of a mining site. It is funded by Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL) under the Ministry of Mines, Government of India. |
