1. INTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEMS IN VEHICLE
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The internship project is part of the consultancy project of interior lighting system
undertaken at the CTech labs, Kresit, IIT Bombay. The main objective of the project is to
study the current scenario of the interior lighting system in Indian vehicles & to identify
the requirements of interior lights inside vehicles & thereby proposing the final
recommendation for designing the interior lights of vehicle suitable for Indian roads.
"Together with novel interior design, interior lighting adds value to the vehicle and the
brand."
Interior lighting, which was once limited to serving basic functionalities such as
instrument cluster lighting and storage lighting, has evolved to include a variety of
innovative applications including ambient lighting. It is of major interest to vehicle
manufacturers, as there is always scope for value addition and improvement through the
incorporation of a mix of lighting technologies such as light emitting diodes (LED),
electroluminescence (EL) and fibre optic light pipes. Interior lighting is now a key
contributor to augmenting the appeal of a vehicle’s interiors to consumers with
advanced lighting technologies that were once offered only in luxury cars, now available
in other segments. These pioneering technologies offer new opportunities and design
freedom for vehicle designers to incorporate new styling features in automobile
interiors.
Project Highlights:
The internship project is the consultancy project offered to Prof. Kishor Munshi,
IDC, IIT Bombay by one of India’s top companies Mahindra & Mahindra Pvt. Ltd.
for redesigning the Interior Lighting systems & design of the upcoming model of
Mahindra Scorpio.
Project follows with rigorous user research, modern literature searching,
extensive analysis, design process & final recommendations {36} as a part of
presentation to the client.
The project methodology framework is divided in two parts the current scenario
& the missing scenario of the interior lighting system in vehicles depending upon
the need of usage & the need identification of the consumer.
# Note : The main part of project recommendations cannot be reported due to the confidential
memorandum of understanding with the client.
