    SETTING UP

    At the time of Independence, Himachal was formed as a C class state by

    merger of 33 hilly states of North Western Himachalayas on 15thApril, 1948.

    Passenger and goods services were nationalized in the Pradesh in

    july,1949.During the year 1958, a Corporation, Mandi-Kullu Road Transport

    Corporation was floated jointly by the govt. of Punjab,Himachal and Railways

    under the Road Transport Corporation Act, 1950 Basically to operate on the

    joint routes in the states of Punjab and Himachal.with the re-organization of

    Punjab State in 1966, few hilly areas of Punjab were merged in Himachal and

    operational areas of Mandi-Kullu Road Transport Corporation came entirely in

    the expanded state of Himachal. On 02.10.1974,Himachal Govt. Transport was

    merged with Mandi-Kullu Road Transport Corporation and was renamed what

    even today is known as Himachal Road Transport Corporation.

    GROWTH

    After the formation of Himachal on 15thJuly, 1948 the network at roads had

    received top-most priority of the Government. At Present the road network is

    widely spread in Himachal.In 1974 total routes operated by HRTC were 379

    which have grown to 1967 in 2007-2008 and fleet strength has grown from 733

    to 1881 in 2009-2010. Bus remains the sole mode of passenger transportation in

    the state as railways have a negligible presence in the state. The narrow gauge

    lines connecting Pathankot with Joginder Nagar and kalka with Shimla are soslow moving that a very small percentage of traffic is carried by them at

    present; Thereby leaving the onus of carrying the passenger traffic on to bus

    transport. The growth of HRTC viz-a viz its formation is as under:-

    OPERATION

    Himachal is geographically so situated that it has got three different regions

    viz. high hills in linner Himalayas, mid Himalayan ranges and foothill plains.

    The linner Himalayan ranges have the least population density whereas it

    increases as the height decreases being well populated in the foothill plains.

    Thus, traffic density is accordingly dictated and so is the road network .The

    operation of HRTC expanded as the road network expanded or enlarged in the

    last 50 years leading to expansion in its fleet.

    The top priority that the state Govt. had, from one plan to another, was to

    connect far flung areas of the Pradesh so that the road transport could become

    basic infrastructure for development. The case in example is the expansion of

    road network in the apple belt in Himachal; where large tracks of land came

    under orchards and to unload to its produce in the market. As a result, a wide

    network of road was built in the last 50 years which not only provided the

    mode of transportation for the farm produce, but also the infrastructure for

    essential services like education, health etc. The hardship that the HRTC

    encountered was that its operation expanded more in the far flung areas and on

    newly constructed roads which led to less utilization of stock, higher expenses

    on operation and lass yield in revenues. Case in example, is the HRTC

    operation in tribal areas of H.P. Viz. district of kinnaur, district of Lahaul & Spiti

    and Pangi and Bharmour Sub-divisions of Chamba district. During early sixties,

    disassembled jeeps were taken across Rohtang Pass (13,000 Feet height),

    reassembled within the valley and then operated as buses. Inputs for operation

    like fuel, spare-parts were carried on human backs to the valley. At present,

  • 8/10/2019 HIMACHAL ROAD TRANSPORT CORP.doc

    9/43

    thought a road exists across the Rohtang Pass, which closes to traffic from

    October to June whereas the valley remains open for operation till December

    and reopens for operation in April.

    Even today, the operations in the valley of Pangi are met with there mini buses

    and jeeps. In the socio-economic situation that accrue in the state today, one

    cannot think of economics of operations as the benefits that accrue to the people

    by the bus services are of vital importance to the economy of these areas.

    OPEARTIONAL JURISDICTION

    The operation jurisdiction of the Corporation is divided into four Divisions

    (Located at Shimla,Mandi, Dharamshala and Dharamshala) having 23 depots

    (Located at Shimla -1, Shimla-2, Shimla-3, Rampur

    Rohru,Recongpeo,Solan,Nahan,Bilaspur ,Una, Dehra, Nalagrah, Dharamshala,

    Sunder Nagar, Sarkaghat,kullu,Mandi, Keylog, Baijnath , Palampur,

    Dharamshala , Pathankot and Chamba ) these depots are supervised and

    controlled by the Regional Managers.

    OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES

    Besides its operation in the entire Himachal Pradesh including tribal districts of

    the state, HRTC operates its buses in neighboring states of Punjab,

    Haryana,Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir ,Union Territories of

    chandigrah and Delhi. Further, it has acquired distinction to ply its buses to the

    highest village of the Asia and also its buses cross through the three worlds

    highest passes namely; Bara-Lacha, Kunjam and Rohtang .HRTC is plying its

    buses in remotest area of the Pradesh, which includes Kuchha and Dangerousroads, where private operators hesitate to ply the buses.

    INDRODUCTION TO WORKSHOP

    Workshop is a place where various components are repaired and

    manufactured. In the H.R.T.C workshop the various parts like engine, gear box,

    wheel system, differential, battery etc. Are repaired or tested, for the good and

    long running of the vechile.the testing of vehicle is also necessary for the safety

    of the people. Therefore in every gap of one year the buses are pass here. It is

    also a place where the skills of the out coming engineers and mechanics can be

    developed. The efficient use of fuel and given resources is also taken in to

    consideration. Hence workshop is of utmost importance keeping the safety of

    the passengers and efficient management of H.R.T.C.

    CLUTCH SYSTEM

    Clutch is the mechanism interposed between engine and the gear box which

    enables power as torque of the transmitted at the WILL to the gear box through

    friction drive. When clutch pedal is depressed the clutch is disengaging and

    motion and power flow from engine to gear box and hence to road wheels is

    disconnected.

    IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF CLUTCH WITHIN THE POWER TRAIN

    MOVING THE VEHICLE FORM REST

    Engine gives sufficient power required for moving the vehicle from rest only at

    higher rpm.

    Therefore it is necessary to run the engine on no load up to such rpm and then

    connect to gear box .This is achieved by disengaging the clutch upon which

    engine is separated from gear box.

    SHIFTING IN THE GEAR

    While changing gear it is necessary that the gear5 in the box should not be

    under the load of transmitted power there for during each up or down gear

    Function Housing and support for the gear act as reservoir of oil

    PRIMARY SHAFT

    It is the shaft which is directly connected to the engine and gears are mounted

    on it.

    SECONDARY SHAFT

    This shaft lies just below the primary shaft and this shaft is responsible for the

    changing of gears which transmits the power at different speeds.

    SYNCHRONIZED TRANSMISSION

    cars with external floor shifters.

    INTRODUCATION

    Modern gear boxes are constant mesh, i.e. all input and drive gears are always

    in mesh. Only one of these meshed pairs of gears is locked to the shaft on which

    it is mounted at any one time, while the others are allowed to rotate freely. This

    greatly reduces the skill required to shift gears.

    Most modern cars are fitted with a synchronized gear box, although it is

    entirely possible to construct a constant mesh gearbox without synchromesh, as

    found in a motorcycle, for example. In a constant mesh gearbox, the

    transmission gears are always in mesh and rotating, but the gears are not

    rigidly connected to the shafts on which they rotate. Instead, the gears can

    freely rotate or be locked to the shaft on which they are carried. The locking

    mechanism for any individual gear consists of a collar (or Dog Collar) on the

    shaft which is able to slide sideways so that teeth circumference: one attached

    to the gear, one to the shaft (one collar typically serves for two gears; sliding in

    one direction selects one transmission speed, in the other direction selects the

    other). When the rings are bridged by the collar that particular gear is

    rotationally locked to the shaft and determines the output speed of thetransmission. The modern cone system was developed by Porsche and

    introduced in the 1952 Porsche 356; cone synchronize were called Porsche

    type for many years after this. In the early 1950s only the second-third shift

    was synchromesh in most cars, requiring only a single synchro and a simple

    linkage; drivers manuals in cars suggested that if the driver needed to shift

  • 8/10/2019 HIMACHAL ROAD TRANSPORT CORP.doc

    20/43

    from second to first, it was best to come to a complete stop then shift into first

    and start up again. With continuing sophistication of mechanical development,

    however fully synchromesh transmission with three speeds, then four speeds

    and then five speeds, became universal by the 1980s. Many modern manual

    transmission cars, especially sports cars, now offer six speeds.

    SYNCHROMESH GEAR BOX

    If the teeth, the so-called dog teeth, make contact with the gear, but the two

    parts are spinning at different speeds, the teeth will fail to engage and a loud

    grinding sound will be heard as they clatter together. For this reason, a modern

    dog clutch in an automobile has a synchronizer mechanism or synchromesh,

    which consists of a cone clutch and blocking ring. Before the teeth can engage,

    the cone clutch engages first which brings the selector and gear to the same

    speed using friction. Moreover, until synchronization occurs the teeth are

    prevented from making contact, because further motion of the selector is

    prevented by a blocker (or Baulk) ring. When synchronization occurs, friction

    on the blocker ring is relieved and it twists slightly, bringing into alignment

    certain grooves and notches that allow further passage of the selector which

    brings the teeth together. Of course the exact design of the synchronizer varies

    from manufacturer to manufacturer. The synchronizer has to change themomentum of the entire input shaft and clutch disk. Additionally it can be

    abused by exposure to the momentum and power of the engine itself, which is

    what happens when attempts are made to select a gear without fully

    disengaging the clutch. This cause extra wears on the rings and sleeves

    reducing their service life.

    DIFFERENTIAL

    When the bus is taking the turn the outer wheel will travel greater distance ascompared to inner wheel in the same time if there fore the bus has a solid rare

    axel only and no other device there will tendency of the wheel to skit. Hence of

    the wheel skidding is to be avoided some mechanism must be incorporated in

    the rear axel which should reduce the speed of the inner wheel and increase the

    speed of the all wheels when going straight a head such advice is known as

    differential.

    ROBERT BOSCH TYPE VE DIESEL INJECTION PUMP

    For many home mechanics the diesel injection pump is a bit of a mystery.

    The Bentley and Haynes repair manuals doesnt describe its internals, because

    its not serviceable except by a few diesel specialists learning some basics of

    how it works and what its internals are could be of interest to the diesel owner,

    and the knowledge certainly cant hurt when troubleshooting fuel injection

    problems, even if one isnt about to take the pump apart.

    The purpose of the fuel injection pump is to deliver an exact metered amount of

    fuel, under high pressure at the right time to the injector. The injector, unlike in

    a gasoline engine, injects the fuel directly into the cylinder or a prechamber

    connected to the cylinder.

  • 8/10/2019 HIMACHAL ROAD TRANSPORT CORP.doc

    26/43

    The Bosch VE has comparatively few moving parts, but what does move does

    so in a complex way. The figure to the left is from a Yanmar pump, which works

    and looks the same as the Bosch. On the leftmost end in the picture is the fuel

    feed pump. This is a vane pump, just like the vacuum pump on the VW diesel

    engine. Its purpose is to suck fuel from the tank and deliver it to the metering

    pump. All the things shown on the right in the figure have to do with the

    metering, timing and distribution of fuel delivery. The figure below shows this

    part in detail.

  • 8/10/2019 HIMACHAL ROAD TRANSPORT CORP.doc

    27/43

    The plunger (right middle in the figure) in the VE pump both rotates along its

    axis and performs a reciprocating translation in and out. It is the translation

    that performs the high pressure pumping, while the rotation is responsible for

    metering and sending the fuel to the correct cylinder.

  • 8/10/2019 HIMACHAL ROAD TRANSPORT CORP.doc

    28/43

    The cam disk is rigidly attached to the plunger. The drive shaft rotates the cam

    disk. The cam disk rides on four rollers (only one shown in this picture), and

    has four lobes. Thus for each revolution the plunger will pump four times. Note

    that with this arrangement the plunger stroke is constant. The metering

    (regulation of how much fuel is delivered) is done not by changing the

    mechanical stroke, but by spilling some of the fuel through spill ports, and thus

    changing the effective stroke . This is done by uncovering a spill port under the

    control sleeve at a particular angle of rotation. The other purpose of the rotation

    is to deliver the fuel to the correct cylinder. This is done by having four four

    delivery valves (only one shown in the figure), one for every 90 degrees of

    rotation. During a full revolution the plunger makes four strokes, one at 0, 90,

    180 and 270 degrees.

  • 8/10/2019 HIMACHAL ROAD TRANSPORT CORP.doc

    29/43

    During each stroke the delivery port in the middle of the plunger is connected

    to a particular delivery valve.

    To understand the function in some detail lets consider one stroke. During the

    backward motion of the plunger, the rotation uncovers a fill port (to the right in

    the figure, just below the magnet valve (solenoid)), and the plunger barrel is

    loaded with fuel. At bottom dead center the fill port is closed. On the forward

    pressure stroke fuel is pressurized (to over 120 bar). At this time the Plunger

    barrel is connected to a particular delivery valve through the channel in the

    center of the plunger, and a port in the side. When pressure builds up to the

    delivery valve opening pressure, the valve will open and deliver high pressure

    fuel to the injector.

    When the desired amount of fuel has been injected the spill port opens (located

    under the control sleeve in the figure), and the pressure quickly drops. This

    causes the delivery valve to close. During the rest of the stroke fuel is "spilled"

    through the spill port instead of being injected into the cylinder.

    The position of the control sleeve controls at what angle the spill port opens,

    and thus determines the amount of fuel injected, in other words it controls the

    metering. The control sleeve is moved in response to a combination ofaccelerator position and engine speed. The latter is determined by a mechanical

    governor.

  • 8/10/2019 HIMACHAL ROAD TRANSPORT CORP.doc

    30/43

    OTHER FUNCTIONS

    Some other functions of the fuel injection pump are: TimingThe timing is adjusted in response to engine RPM. At higher

    RPM s, the fuel pressure from the vane transfer pump is higher. Pressure

    changes effects a spring loaded plunger, and the resulting movement will

    move the cam rollers to either advance or retard the timing. There is also

    a cold start device which advances the idle timing manually.

    GovernorA mechanical governor limits the maximum speed of the

    engine to 4800 rpm in the bus/vanagon application and 5350 rpm in

    newer passenger cars. It can be seen just above the cam disk in the middle

    figure.

    StopA magnet valve or solenoid (shown in the figures) opens and shuts

    off the fuel channel between the feed pump and the metering pump.

    AneroidAn air inlet pressure sensor is used to determine maximum

    amount of fuel delivered on injection pumps for turbo engines. On newer

    ('89 and later) naturally aspirated engines a similar arrangement is used

    for altitude compensation.

    It reduces the frictional losses.

    COOLING SYSTEM

    Radiator is used to cool engine and a fan is used just back of radiator.

    Cooling is necessary for engine as it goes on heating and this heating can cause

    damage to the engine.

    EXHAUST SYSTEM

    This system removes the gases from cylinder due to which the process

    continues.

    Silencer and turbo are used in diesel engine for the removal of exhaust.

    SUSPENSION SYSTEM

    Suspension system is responsible for the smooth drive of vehicle on road.

    These are vob. Dampers, leaf springs, and air suspension etc.

    POWER STEERING

    There are a couple of key components inpower steeringin addition to the rack-

    and-pinion or recalculating-ball mechanism.

    PUMP

    The hydraulic power for the steering is provided by arotary-vane pump(see

    diagram below). This pump is driven by the car's engine via a belt and pulley. It

    contains a set of retractable vanes that spin inside an oval chamber.

    As the vanes spin, they pull hydraulic fluid from the return line at low pressure

    and force it into the outlet at high pressure.

    The amount of flow provided by the pump depends on the car's engine speed.

    The pump must be designed to provide adequate flow when the engine is

    idling. As a result, the pump moves much more fluid than necessary when the

    engine is running at faster speeds.

    The pump contains a pressure-relief valve to make sure that the pressure does

    not get too high, especially at high engine speeds when so much fluid is being

    pumped.

    ROTARY VALVE

    A power-steering system should assist the driver only when he is exerting force

    on the steering wheel (such as when starting a turn). When the driver is not

    exerting force (such as when driving in a straight line), the system shouldn't

    provide any assist. The device that senses the force on the steering wheel is

    called therotary valve.

    The key to the rotary valve is atorsion bar. The torsion bar is a thin rod of

    metal that twists whentorqueis applied to it. The top of the bar is connected to

    the steering wheel, and the bottom of the bar is connected to the pinion or

    worm gear (which turns the wheels), so the amount of torque in the torsion bar

    is equal to the amount of torque the driver is using to turn the wheels. The

    more torque the driver uses to turn the wheels, the more the bar twists.

    The input from the steering shaft forms the inner part of aspool-valve

    assembly. It also connects to the top end of thetorsion bar. The bottom of the

    torsion bar connects to the outer part of the spool valve. The torsion bar also

    turns the output of the steering gear, connecting to either the pinion gear or the

    worm gear depending on which type of steering the car has.

    As the bar twists, it rotates the inside of the spool valve relative to the outside.

    Since the inner part of the spool valve is also connected to the steering shaft

    (and therefore to the steering wheel), the amount of rotation between the inner

    and outer parts of the spool valve depends on how much torque the driver

    applies to the steering wheel.

    When the steering wheel is not being turned, both hydraulic lines provide the

    same amount of pressure to the steering gear. But if the spool valve is turned

    one way or the other, ports open up to provide high-pressure fluid to the

    appropriate line.

    It turns out that this type of power-steering system is pretty inefficient. Let's

    take a look at some advances we'll see in coming years that will help improve

    efficiency.

    RECIRCULATING-BALL STEERING

  • 8/10/2019 HIMACHAL ROAD TRANSPORT CORP.doc

    39/43

    Recalculating-ball steeringis used on many trucks and SUVs today. The

    linkage that turns the wheels is slightly different than on a rack-and-pinion

    system.

    The recalculating-ball steering gear contains aworm gear. You can image the

    gear in two parts. The first part is a block of metal with a threaded hole in it.

    This block has gear teeth cut into the outside of it, which engage a gear that

    moves thepitman arm(see diagram above). The steering wheel connects to a

    threaded rod, similar to a bolt that sticks into the hole in the block. When the

    steering wheel turns, it turns the bolt. Instead of twisting further into the block

    the way a regular bolt would, this bolt is held fixed so that when it spins, it

    moves the block, which moves the gear that turns the wheels.

    Instead of the bolt directly engaging the threads in the block, all of the threads

    are filled withball bearingsthat recalculate through the gear as it turns. The

    balls actually serve two purposes: First, they reduce friction and wear in the

    gear; second, they reduceslopin the gear. Slop would be felt when you change

    the direction of the steering wheel -- without the balls in the steering gear, the

    teeth would come out of contact with each other for a moment, making the

    steering wheel feel loose.

    Power steering in a recalculating-ball system works similarly to a rack-and-

    pinion system. Assist is provided by supplying higher-pressure fluid to one

    side of the block.
