초대형 자동차운반선(LCTC)의 높이는 선저에서 조타실까지 약 44~46m에 이르며, 자동차운반선이 대형화될수록 상부 무게가 하부 무게보다 무거운 중두선의 특징을 가진다. 이 연구는 선회 중 전도한 자동차운반선 골든 레이호(G호)의 최대 외방경사각을 추정하 여 사고 원인 규명과 유사사고 방지에 목적이 있다. 이론식으로 계산된 최대 외방경사각은 GM이 +3.0m 이상 상황에서 7.5°(19kn, 타각 35°), GM이 +1.85m인 상황에서 16.7°였다. 실험에 의한 수정식으로 계산한 최대 외방경사각은 GM이 +3.0m 이상 상황에서 10.5°(19kn, 타각 35°), GM이 +1.85m인 상황에서 23.3°를 보였다. G호는 전도사고 당시 도선사의 지시에 따라 속력 13kn, 우현 타각(10°→20°)을 사용하여 침 로 038°(T)에서 105°(T)로 변침 중이었다. 이 때 최대 외방경사각은 좌현으로 7.8° 내지 10.9°로 추정된다. 평상 시 외방경사각보다 2.2배 높 은 수치이다. 화물선의 최소 GoM은 IS coded에서 +0.15m 이상을 요구하고 있다. 전도된 G호도 +1.72m GoM을 확보하고 있었다. GoM에 대 한 기준 미달이 전도의 원인이 아니라, 선회 중 횡경사 모멘트에 대응할 수 있는 충분한 GoM을 확보하지 않아 전도된 것이다. 이 연구는 중앙해양안전심판원과 USCG의 사고 조사 결과를 뒷받침한다.
Truck no-show behavior has posed significant disruptions to the planning and execution of port operations. By delving into the key factors that contribute to truck appointment no-shows and proactively predicting such behavior, it becomes possible to make preemptive adjustments to port operation plans, thereby enhancing overall operational efficiency. Considering the data imbalance and the impact of accuracy for each decision tree on the performance of the random forest model, a model based on the Borderline Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique and Weighted Random Forest (BSMOTE-WRF) is proposed to predict truck appointment no-shows and explore the relationship between truck appointment no-shows and factors such as weather conditions, appointment time slot, the number of truck appointments, and traffic conditions. In order to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model, the experiments were conducted with the available dataset from the Tianjin Port Second Container Terminal. It is demonstrated that the prediction accuracy of BSMOTE-WRF model is improved by 4%-5% compared with logistic regression, random forest, and support vector machines. Importance ranking of factors affecting truck no-show indicate that (1) The number of truck appointments during specific time slots have the highest impact on truck no-show behavior, and the congestion coefficient has the secondhighest impact on truck no-show behavior and its influence is also significant; (2) Compared to the number of truck appointments and congestion coefficient, the impact of severe weather on truck no-show behavior is relatively low, but it still has some influence; (3) Although the impact of appointment time slots is lower than other influencing factors, the influence of specific time slots on truck no-show behavior should not be overlooked. The BSMOTE-WRF model effectively analyzes the influencing factors and predicts truck no-show behavior in appointment-based systems.
The curb weight of electric trucks is more than 10% higher than that of conventional internal combustion engine trucks due to the motor and battery. For this reason, cargo box developed for small electric trucks is required weight reduction, and cargo door that can reduce weight and maintain strength are being developed. In this paper, we designed the lightweight cargo door, confirmed the stability of the door through structural analysis, and developed a cargo box door that was more than 25% lighter by applying composite materials such as Sheet Molding Compound(SMC) and Fiber Reinforced Plastic(FRP).
PURPOSES : Unlike European standards, domestic performance assessment standards for truck mounted attenuators (TMAs) was first stipulated in 2014 using the NCHRP Report 350 of 1993 as the standard instead of the 2009 MASH of the United States. The purpose of this study is to present an improvement in the domestic performance evaluation criteria for TMAs..
METHODS : Considering the latest TMA performance evaluation standards in the U.S. and Europe, domestic performance evaluation criteria must improve stipulations related to impact speeds, impact conditions, impact cars, and support trucks. The performance change in the TMAs according to the variation in the impact speed, impact condition, impact vehicle, and support vehicle was investigated using finite element analysis (FEA).
RESULTS : The TMA for an impact speed of 100 km/h showed a limit to the safety of the occupants of the collision vehicle and workers on the road for a collision speed of 120 km/h. The safety of the workers on the road was also not guaranteed for the collision of the remaining 73.8% of vehicles that exceeds the maximum impact car weight of 1,300 kg, the lower 26.2% of the total mass composition of domestic passenger cars. In addition, a TMA that satisfied only the conditions under which the vehicle was hit head-on to the center of the TMA did not reduce the risk of a secondary collision of the impact vehicle. Furthermore, the safety of workers on the road was not guaranteed when a travel distance of a support truck of 10 tons or more was applied to a work vehicle of less than 10 tons.
CONCLUSIONS : To improve the safety of road traffic, a performance level corresponding to an impact speed of 120 km/h was added to the domestic TMA performance evaluation standard, and the eccentricity and oblique collision conditions were mandatory. Furthermore, the maximum impact vehicle weight of 1300 kg was raised to 2000 kg, and the test requester had to present support trucks of lower and upper weights such that TMA mounting trucks of various weights could be used.

In addition, structural analysis based on the finite element method is performed with the load condition applied to a safety factor 3.0 and boundary condition assigned to the lower part of the Sub-frame. By comparing and examining the maximum stress result from the structural analysis of the entire Sub-frame assembly and individual component and a yield strength of each material applied to each component, a design technique that can assure the structural stability of the Sub-frame assembly is presented.
Companies are making design changes by improving product quality and function to succeed while meeting customer requirements continuously. Design changes are changing the product BOM's amount, item, specification, and shape while causing a change in the product's structure. At this time, the problem of inventory exhaustion of parts before design change is a big topic. If the inventory exhaustion fails, the pieces before the design change become unused and are discarded, resulting in a decrease in asset value, and the quality cost of the design change affects the company's profits. Therefore, it is necessary to decide to minimize quality costs while minimizing waste inventory costs at the time of application of design changes. According to the analysis, priorities should be prioritized according to urgency because the quantity of items before the design change affects the applied lead time.
Many manufacturers applying third party logistics (3PLs) have some challenges to increase their logistics efficiency. This study introduces an effort to estimate the weight of the delivery trucks provided by 3PL providers, which allows the manufacturer to package and load products in trailers in advance to reduce delivery time. The accuracy of the weigh estimation is more important due to the total weight regulation. This study uses not only the data from the company but also many general prediction variables such as weather, oil prices and population of destinations. In addition, operational statistics variables are developed to indicate the availabilities of the trucks in a specific weight category for each 3PL provider. The prediction model using XGBoost regressor and permutation feature importance method provides highly acceptable performance with MAPE of 2.785% and shows the effectiveness of the developed operational statistics variables.
The lane departure warning device can not detect the lane to be driven in the future by sensing the departure of the lane passing by during driving and warning the driver. Considering the safe operation of the truck, it is also expected that the departure of the future lanes according to the dynamic weight and speed of the current truck should be predicted. This study attempted to predict whether or not to deviate from the lanes of curved roads to be driven in the future according to the current dynamic driving weight and speed in consideration of the safe driving of trucks.

We were able to achieve the technology development goal of this thesis by making a prototype and conducting a test evaluation at an external test and research institute to perform the vibration endurance test aimed in this study.
Recently, traffic accidents have continued to occur due to the failure to secure a safe distance for trucks. Unlike passenger cars, freight cars have a large fluctuation in the weight of the vehicle's shaft depending on the load, and the fatality of accidents and the possibility of accidents are high. In this study, a braking distance prediction model according to the driving speed and loading weight of a three-axis truck was implemented to prevent a forward collision accident. Learning data was generated based on simulation, and a prediction model based on machine learning was implemented to finally verify accuracy. The extra trees algorithm was selected based on the most frequently used R2 Score among regression analyses, and the accuracy of the braking distance prediction model was 98.065% through 10 random scenarios.
The possibility of developing musculoskeletal disorders increases with the length of service of the worker. Musculoskeletal disorders can occur when performing repetitive and forceful movements. Therefore, Cargo drivers operate repeatedly in the wrong posture for a long time. When loading and unloading a cargo, the cargo driver works repeatedly with force. Cargo operators are also exposed to musculoskeletal disorders in the working environment due to poor posture and repetitive movements. In this study, we are going to conduct a study on the level of awareness and prevention of the possibility of musculoskeletal disorders in cargo drivers for long periods of time. As a result of the study, the factors that cause musculoskeletal disorders in each group can occur during the long-term operation and preparation of drivers.

RESULTS : The truck performance curve was derived for each driving position to represent the deceleration and acceleration capabilities of the truck through the actual driving test on the upgrade sections. CONCLUSIONS : The truck performance curve derived from this study indicated that the truck’s deceleration and acceleration capabilities increased as the total weight/power of Korea’s representative trucks improved, and the design of the climbing lane demonstrated that the design method used in this study saved approximately 60% of the construction cost compared to the existing method.
A manufacturing company should produce its products and make a profit to continue its management. With the adoption of a multi-category small-volume production system, manufacturers that produce concrete pump-cine products are carrying out improvement activities to increase their market share amid the business-to-customer business environment. However, the slump in the construction investment environment has led to a decline in sales of concrete pump trucks. The purpose of holding inventory is to prevent loss of sales opportunities with the rate of change in the sales plan, and reducing the rate of change in the product can reduce unnecessary inventory and, in order to realize this, the goal of reducing inventory can be achieved by reviewing the parts that can be designed for common use. Therefore, to reduce the inventory of concrete pump trucks, semi-finished publicization design is necessary. According to the analysis, the frame assembly process of the 32M model is common. Production capacity can be secured without loss of sales opportunity.

It is designed to maintain the strength of 80% or more of the existing gate by (reducing input material). The system and structure rationalization proceeded.
In this study, the structural analyses were conducted for each model by applying the loads into the design of a large commercial truck seat. Model C with three vertical frames has the smallest total deformation among all models, indicating the strongest stiffness. The maximum total deformation of model C was shown to be 0.68 times smaller than that of model A and 0.79 times smaller than that of model B. The equivalent stress of model C was also shown to be the lowest, indicating the greatest stiffness. The maximum equivalent stress of model C was shown to be 0.8 times smaller than that of model A and 0.91 times smaller than that of model B. At the upper part of the seat or the part where the force was applied, all three models were shown to have the largest total deformations and equivalent stresses. If the result of this study is applied to the design of automotive seat frame, it is thought that the durable and rigid sheets can be manufactured efficiently. By utilizing this study result, the equivalent stress and total deformation are investigated without the real experiment by shape at the seat of large commercial truck, and the durability and rigidity can be seen.
