Abstract

Efficient and reliable public transportation systems, particularly bus services, played a crucial role in regional mobility and economic development. However, maintenance challenges impacted service quality, as seen in PT. SPS – Solo’s Scania fleet. Traditional reactive maintenance methods proved insufficient, leading to increased operational costs and unexpected failures. This study applied Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) to optimize maintenance policies, identifying critical components and establishing effective strategies. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) revealed the brake chamber as the most critical component, followed by the stabilizer and tie rod/slack adjuster. Maintenance interval analysis recommended Time-Directed (TD) intervals from 26,090 km to 35,084 km and Condition-Directed (CD) intervals from 25,900 km to 70,168 km, based on component degradation patterns. Cost analysis highlighted air bellows as the highest-cost component (Rp. 2,350,000), while brake chambers had the lowest cost (Rp. 150,000). The study demonstrated that RCM improved fleet reliability and reduced maintenance costs. Implementing structured maintenance schedules, training programs, and condition monitoring systems was recommended. These findings provided a foundation for enhancing longdistance bus operations and could be adapted for other transportation sectors to achieve cost-efficient and reliable fleet management.

Abstract

The condensation process of smoke in charcoal-burning systems generates high temperatures that pose a critical thermal risk to PVC piping, which has a melting point of 85 °C. This study presents the design and implementation of a distributed temperature sensing system using dual-channel Type-K thermocouples controlled by an Arduino Uno microcontroller. The system is equipped with fault-tolerant logging and real-time monitoring features, utilizing the MAX6675 thermocouple amplifier module for digital signal acquisition. Two sensors are strategically placed along the smoke conduit to capture temperature differentials between primary and secondary zones. Experimental testing was conducted over six consecutive days with data acquisition sessions at noon and midnight. The highest recorded temperature from the primary sensor reached 83.75 °C, while the secondary sensor recorded significantly lower values, indicating a thermal gradient of 23.8 °C between inlet and outlet. Comparative calibration using an umbrella-type analog thermometer revealed a minimal deviation of 0.41 °C, confirming the system’s accuracy. Two sets of error profiling showed variations in measurement consistency, with average error rates of 13.79% and 5.93% across a 30 °C–80 °C reference range. Voltage stability was maintained throughout all test scenarios, with a constant 5 V input and 4.4 V output. The system successfully demonstrated its ability to perform dual-point thermal detection with resilient performance under fluctuating combustion conditions. This sensor-integrated platform is well-suited for thermal protection and early intervention in biomass-based liquid smoke condensation systems, particularly in small-scale applications using low-melting-point materials such as PVC.

Abstract

Optimizing valve seat reconditioning requires balancing sealing performance, surface integrity, energy consumption, and component wear within practical workshop constraints. This study presents the design, development, and multi-objective optimisation of a low-cost automatic valve lapping system using a hybrid Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) framework. A prototype automatic valve lapping rig was developed by integrating a DC-motor-driven spindle with adjustable spring loading and an Arduino-based control and data-acquisition system, enabling controlled variation of spindle speed (300–600 rpm) and axial load (60–140 N). Leakage time, surface roughness (Ra), electrical energy consumption, and valve wear volume were measured using a three-level factorial design. Quadratic response surface models with satisfactory statistical adequacy were established for all responses. The RSM models were employed in NSGA-II to maximise leakage time and minimise surface roughness, energy consumption, and wear, subject to practical operational constraints. The optimisation results reveal clear trade-offs between sealing quality, energy efficiency, and component life, and identify an optimal operating window of approximately 430–470 rpm and 90–110 N, providing a robust compromise solution and a practical operating map for workshop valve seat reconditioning.

Abstract

Brake fade due to excessive heat remains a leading cause of vehicular accidents, particularly among heavy-duty and public transportation vehicles. This issue is exacerbated by the limitations of conventional brake monitoring systems that lack real-time response capabilities. To address this challenge, this study develops a Smart Brake Thermal Management system based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology, designed to detect and deliver multi-modal alerts in response to potential brake overheating. The system integrates precision thermocouple sensors, an ESP32 microcontroller, an OLED display, and cloud-based notifications via Telegram. Using a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, the system was validated through six controlled road tests under standardized conditions. Results indicate high temperature measurement accuracy at 98.07% and 98.62% for dual sensor configurations, with system response times of less than two seconds. The warning mechanism effectively delivered synchronized notifications via visual indicators, audible alerts, and instant messaging. This system demonstrated a strong ability to identify the risk of brake fade before critical failure occurred, enhancing vehicular safety significantly. Its modular design and cost-effective implementation also make it suitable for large-scale retrofitting in existing vehicle fleets. The primary contributions of this research include the integration of multi-modal warning systems, real-time thermal monitoring through cloud connectivity, and a predictive approach to brake temperature management that improves proactive safety interventions.

Abstract

: In the field of freight transportation, changes to vehicle structures, particularly in the chassis length dimension, are commonly carried out to increase load-carrying capacity. One form of such change involves extending the frame length and adjusting the wheelbase in commercial vehicles with a 1.2 axle configuration. Although this approach can increase the volume of cargo that can be transported, alterations in structural dimensions have the potential to affect the load distribution contour on the vehicle frame. An uneven load distribution may lead to increased stress in certain areas, greater deformation, and a reduction in the structural safety level, which can ultimately affect the reliability and operational safety of the vehicle. This study aims to examine the effect of chassis length variations on the characteristics of the load distribution contour in freight transport vehicles with a 1.2 axle configuration. The analysis focuses on evaluating changes in stress, deformation, and the safety factor of the frame structure resulting from variations in chassis length and wheelbase adjustments. The approach used is a numerical simulation based on the Finite Element Method, utilizing software to model and evaluate the structural response of the chassis frame under loading conditions. The simulation results show that an extension of the chassis length, accompanied by changes in wheelbase position, leads to higher displacement and stress distribution in the chassis frame. The extension of the chassis side frame structure leads to an increase in stress values, which even exceed the material’s yield strength, with a maximum value reaching approximately 3709 MPa. In addition, the displacement reaches up to 81 mm, indicating increased frame deflection. Therefore, any changes in chassis dimensions must be designed by carefully considering load distribution and overall structural strength in order to maintain the reliability and safety of freight vehicles.
