This study aims to develop a Commercial Vehicle Integrated Traffic Safety System utilizing Connected Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) technology. This system provides functionalities for accident prevention and efficient traffic management through vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. The key findings suggest that the integrated system using C-ITS can offer functions for traffic safety and preliminary stages of autonomous driving. It is anticipated that by applying vehicle and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) technologies, traffic safety issues and driver convenience can be enhanced.
The need for research on a sensor system that can monitor the dynamic load of a commercial vehicle in real-time is emerging because the development of autonomous vehicles is actively progressing worldwide. In this study, dynamic load measuing system of commercial vehicles was developed using the MEMs inclinometer attached to the leaf spring suspension. Test vehicle’s driving test was accomplished by changing speed and payload weight in several stages. Using the dynamic load measurement system, it was possible to check the weight shift and the change of stopping distance. When a driving speed increases from 30km/h to 80 km/h, the stopping distance increases from about 25m to 80m.
This study has related to lightweight automobiles due to global warming with the reduction of fossil fuel reserves are rapidly progressing around the automobile industry.
This study has revealed the relationship for the mechanical properties via the analyzed microstructure, precipitated phase variation of the wheel hub of a commercial vehicle manufactured using molten forging technology using A356 and A357 alloys, which are high-strength Al-Si-Mg base cast aluminum alloys. Differential scanning calorimetry has performed to analyze the precipitation amount of each alloy that influences the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy. The XRD analysis has measured for the microstructure's crystal phase on A356 and A357 alloys.
In this paper has evaluated to compare the properties of the A356 alloy and the A357 alloy for the mechanical properties. The A356 alloy has confirmed that a microstructure is finer than A357 alloy, and a quantity of precipitated material is more than A357 alloy. Therefore, this study confirmed that the A356 alloy has better mechanical properties than the A357 alloy.
In this study, in order to solve the quality problem (Safety accident) that the chain breaks out of the wheel gear due to the problem of the spare tire carrier device, the wheel gear is rotated in such a way that the upper part of the chain is caught on one side of the triangular wheel gear. When falling, the tire falls due to the chain falling off and the chain is caught by the wheel gear so that it cannot bear the tire load and slip occurs. Also, in order to solve the quality problem that the chain is caught (Due to malfunction), the “ㄷ” shaped chain the guide should play the role of guiding the movement of the chain by holding the chain in the direction. The technical development goal is to solve the problem of the chain dropping and the chain hanging from the wheel gear of this product.
There are many causes of interior noise in commercial vehicles. The one of them is power steering noise and this study try to reduce the power steering noise by theoretical consideration. The interior noise was tested for the real truck and analysed the frequency. For reducing the interior noise, the spiral tube was adapted and modified the structure in the steering system. The spiral tube system was analysed and made the formula to calculate the reducing frequency. And the effective frequency for reducing the interior noise was calculated by changing the length of tube. Finally, we found the possibility between thoeretical results and real interior noise by comparing the frequency results. The second, the experimental consideration will be worked in power steering system. Finally, the optimal design result will be suggested for reduce the noise.
Recently, the need of weight reduction has been required in automobile industry. In this paper, we aim to evaluate the composite sandwich panel to substitute original steel structure of commercial vehicle. The compressive and drum-peel tests were conducted to consider core materials and resin system of the sandwich panel. Based on the test, we decided the core reinforcement and matrix materials of the panel. As a result, the composite panel were composed of aluminum profile, glass fiber prepreg and aluminum honeycomb. We also confirmed the weight reduction ratio and structural safety compared to prior steel structure components by bending test and FEM simulation.
The air brake chamber is needed higher sealing performance and durability for the safety and confidential operation, especially, in brake systems of commercial vehicle. For higher sealing, we applied new clamping technique differentiated methods of other global manufacturers. And we developed the power spring and spring guide made from light engineering plastic with high durability in repeated condition. We also have achieved the basic performance test like sealing test in compressed air and various environment tests in dust and salty water for new manufactured air brake chambers. As a result, the air brake chamber applied light weight and high durable power spring is satisfied all demand specification conditions for commercial vehicle
The latest weight reduction research of automotive industry and technology was improved. In this paper, we aim to evaluate the composite frame to manufacture the floor assembly of commercial vehicle. The design of subframe incorporated into the floor module was determined by FEM(Finite Element Method) simulation. The mechanical properties used for the simulations were obtained from the tests for samples of glass fiber/epoxy composites. We made two kinds of pultrusion products, one was aluminum profile, the other was unidirectional composites with aluminum profile. Based on the results from the simulation and bending test, the design of the subframe was finally determined prior to adoption of the commercial vehicle floor.
This study proposes a collaboration system framework on the web service in a supply chain to implement an efficient virtual supply chain and improve an ability to fulfill received orders over a supply chain. The system based on the framework proposed in this paper plays an important role for automatic order negotiation and placing/receiving an order noticed in web service by the main system. Furthermore, it can evaluate the fulfillment of received orders over a supply chain by using the transaction results from hierarchically related vendors and establish efficient manufacturing plans. In a word, this system is the automated system for creating manufacturing plans, placing and receiving orders. A little more important main function of this system is that it has a dynamic evaluation capability about fulfillment with received orders over a supply chain, and improves the evaluation method of fulfillment ability with received orders with related to direct dealing vendors, which is a main problem in existing system. As a result, this system is able to reduce the work load of the sales and purchasing materials, production control division, to manage accurate inventory promptly, to maintain the optimal inventory level by analyzing the information of fulfillment ability with received orders, and to enhance the level of service for customers.
