The
major challenges and their solutions will be discussed as follows.:
Earthquake
Earthquakes are simply a series of vibrations
due to movements below the Earth that have the potential to cause immense
damage and destruction at the Earth’s surface. During the past earthquakes
right from Bihar 1988, Killari 1993, Chamoli 1999, Bhuj 2001, Andaman 2002,
Sumatra 2004, Jammu and Kashmir 2005, Sikkim 2006, Nepal 2015, Imphal 2016 and
many others it is observed that maximum
loss of life is occurred due to failure of Civil Engineering Structures. As it
is evident from previous earthquakes the 1994 Northridge (California US)
earthquake produced the highest ever insured earthquake loss of approximately
US$14 billion, and the US$150 billion cost of the 1995 Kobe (Japan) earthquake
was the highest ever absolute earthquake loss. And thereby affecting the
national economy of the effected countries. Coburn and Spence (2002) reported
the economic losses due to earthquake from 1972 to 1990: the three largest
losses as the properties of the GNP (Gross National Product) were in the
central American Countries of Nicaragua (1972, 40% GNP) Guatemala (1976,18%
GNP) and El Salvador (1986, 31% GNP). In India 2001 Bhuj earthquake made a
total loss of US$ 7Billion and because of which US$ 16Billion have been
invested in Bhuj area which caused a GDP loss of US$ 23Billion. During the
international conference RAITEA 2019 keynote speakers Dr. Rajesh Kumar Dhakal (Professor of Structural and Earthquake
Engineering at University of Canterbury, Christchurch, Newzeland), Dr. Vaisel Golubev (Senior Researcher, Applied Mathematics
Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russia), Dr. Neelima Satyam (Professor, Civil Engineering Department , IIT
Indore) and researchers will present their research papers on how to make
earthquake resistant buildings. If
these structures are well designed and well constructed then even violent
earthquakes will not be able to destroy them. so that existing buildings can be
saved and ultimately the precious lives
can be saved,

Dr.
Oscar Castilio will talk about Nature-inspired Optimization algorithms of Type-2 Fuzzy Logic
Controllers. Recently, nature-inspired methods have emerged as powerful
optimization algorithms for solving complex problems.
Nature-inspired Optimization algorithms are used in automation of robots so
that their behavior is close to humans as well as intelligent. Such robots are
not just the instruments using artificial intelligence, but they are close to
human clones as we see in terminator 2 kind movies. These robots are capable of
performing surgeries in operation theatre, replace waiters in restaurants. They
have already replaced security guards in many of the busy international
airports. They assist differently abled persons to lead a normal life. All these robots are embedded with
nature-inspired optimization algorithms.

Electric
vehicles
Electric vehicles are considered to
be superior technology than internal combustion engine vehicle from an
efficiency and environmental perspective. They are about four times as
efficient as vehicles with an internal combustion engine at using the energy
delivered to the vehicle to overcome vehicle road load. As per the society of
Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles, the population of e-vehicles is growing at
the rate of 37.5% in India. India aspires to become 100% EV nation by 2030.
However, one of the major roadblocks in the growth of e-vehicles is availability
and viability of charging infrastructure in India. The Power electronics based
circuit controllers are the major contributors to control the various functions
of an electric vehicle. In the light of the above background, it makes a
compelling objective to study the commercial viability of e-vehicles and
charging infrastructure required for it. Hence, our international conference
focuses on the research papers simulated on detailed study on the different
components of electric vehicles viz., motor control, control circuits, static
and dynamic characteristics of batteries, design and control of power
electronic based devices, algorithms used to control the photovoltaic
operations etc.
