Abstract

The issues of optimising economic and labour costs take a significant place in the production activities of transport companies. They depend on the socio-economic situation, objective reasons of production nature, availability of appropriate material and technical bases, as well as effective use and competence of enterprise management. It seems relevant to establish a transport enterprise programme to increase operational efficiency. Therefore, research outlines the characteristics of the work programme (order portfolios) of car service stations in the current environment and focuses on ensuring their stability. Mathematical modelling and methods of mathematical and statistical analysis served as principal tools, although analysis, synthesis, comparison and other methodologies were also significant. The authors represent the car service station production programme as the sum of failures and faults arriving at the enterprise in random order. The results of the experimental studies underwent analysis based on probability theory and mathematical statistics, where mathematical models of the annual programme and the probabilities of its distribution in a given time interval were obtained. The authors recommend measures to optimise the production programme by ensuring uniform loading of car service station structures. It can study numerous theoretical issues during the design phase of production sites and make accurate predictions. There are theoretical methodologies based on certain results, which are suitable for the design of road transport services. One of them is a calculation of the enterprise's annual program based on a grouping of the number of vehicles coming into the site. The work brings new regard to the shape of the programmes related to car service providers.

Abstract

Pedestrian crossing behavior can be studied by estimating critical gap, which is determined by analyzing accepted and rejected gaps by pedestrians. This can provide insight into safety levels at pedestrian facilities. The aim of this study is to determine critical gaps using various methods such as the Logit method, Raff's method, and Wu’s Method. These methods are then compared to identify the most appropriate one. Three locations in Malaysia were selected for data collection based on their land use, number of lanes, and carriageway width. Video cameras were used to capture mixed traffic flow and pedestrian crossing movements simultaneously at the selected sections. The results indicate that the critical gap values obtained from the three methods are highly comparable. Specifically, the Logit Method yielded a critical gap value of 8.4s, while Raff's Method and Wu's Method produced critical gap values of 7.7s and 7.12s, respectively. The study concludes that the Logit method is the most suitable for estimating critical gaps as it takes into account both pedestrian behavior and vehicular characteristics concurrently. The findings of this study have the potential to contribute to the review of design parameters for pedestrian crossing facilities, leading to the improvement of existing facilities and the enhancement of pedestrian safety.

Abstract

Biofuel production and its properties improvisation are the wide areas of research in internal combustion (IC) engines. This research derived biofuel from industrial chicken waste. Nanofuels were produced in this study by adding 40 nm-sized nanoparticles of carbon nanotube (CNT) and manganese oxide (MnO) with a variation of 100 to 200 ppm to the derived oil. Four fuel blends (biofuel (B), B with CNT, B with MnO, and B with CNT+MnO) were compared to the performance of diesel fuel in a 3.5 kW CI engine. The combustion process (peak pressure and heat release), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), and exhaust emissions (CO, HC, NOx, and CO2) were used as parameters to evaluate the fuel’s performance. The result revealed that nanofuel outperformed both diesel fuel and biofuel. The addition of 200 ppm CNT in biofuel enhanced the fuel properties, resulting in higher BTE by 28% and 9.7% compared to diesel fuel and biofuel. The CNT-biofuel also generated fewer emissions compared to diesel fuel by 26%, 9.4%, and 25% for NOx, HC, and CO gases respectively.

Abstract

This study investigates the barriers that the Lean Six Sigma implementation faces during the assembly of electric vehicles. In order to implement lean Six Sigma methodology in electric vehicle assembly processes effectively, it is crucial to identify and analyze the barriers that hinder process improvement. To identify the obstacles and create a conceptual model, a thorough literature review was conducted. Four factors, namely, integration of assembly, inspection, and testing, lack of trained and knowledgeable human resources, external and in-plant battery transportation, and manual assembly and rigid automation, were found to have the potential to affect the lean Six Sigma implementation. Three drivers, namely assembly cost, assembly time, and assembly effort were selected for the study. The model is then tested using the structural equation modeling and the gathered data. The results show a significant relationship between the three drivers and the four barriers of Lean Six Sigma implementation to the electric vehicle assembly.

Abstract

The advancement of automotive technology has led to the development of automated vehicles. The trend of passengers performing non-driving-related activities during travel was expected to continue in the future of automated vehicles. It is essential to discover the type of activities that the users prefer to improve the interior design of an automated vehicle. Past studies show that every country has different preferred non-driving related activities. The main objective of this study is to collect data on preferred non-driving related activities, specifically by Malaysians, using online questionnaires. 293 respondents answered the questionnaires in six (6) months. As a result, the top three (3) non-driving related activities in Malaysia are listening to music, calling or texting, and interacting with others. In addition, the most preferred seating position as a passenger, the most suitable travel duration to perform non-driving related activities uninterrupted, and the preferred seating configuration of the automated vehicle were also discovered. The outcome of this study will add knowledge for designing better future automated vehicles suitable for Malaysian users.

Abstract

The transportation sector contributes up to 35% of carbon dioxide pollution. Electric Vehicles (EVs) offer a pollution-free alternative but face a crucial challenge in their battery-based Energy Storage System (ESS). The solution to the battery issues is combining it with other ESS with high power density called a Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS). Energy Management Strategy (EMS) is used to distribute the power demand in the HESS. Low Pass Filters (LPFs) are one type of EMS that can be used to ensure the smooth flow of power between different energy storage elements. This article focuses on the pivotal role of Low Pass Filters (LPFs) within HESS for EVs, facilitating seamless power flow. The novelty lies in the comprehensive review of LPFs in this context, shedding light on their impact on energy management. Four LPF architecture classes are discussed: fixed cut-off, optimal cut-off, adaptive cut-off, and combination, referencing prior research. Additionally, a critical examination of challenges and limitations is provided, offering insights for researchers and practitioners.

Abstract

Using lithium-ion batteries has emerged as a viable approach to lessen the negative effects of fossil fuel use. LiFePO4 (LFP) is one of the lithium-ion batteries that are eco-friendly and safer than others. However, LFP has a main limitation with the poor rate performance due to its low electronic conductivity number. This study aims to present a bibliometric review of the analysis using VOSviewer of surface modification using carbon coating of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve the challenge of synthesis, structure, electrochemical stability, and performance of LFP. The results of this study showed that surface modification of LiFePO4 electrodes using carbon compounds produced from MOFs improved the efficiency of electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies. High levels of porosity and customizable characteristics are offered by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) ideal for surface modification which improves the battery conductivity. The bibliometric analysis showed that research on lithium-ion batteries is currently receiving attention, a sign of its significance and rising popularity. It is suggested for researchers especially Indonesian researchers to contribute more to this field.

Abstract

This article presents Ansys simulations and experimental testing to determine how TBC affects engine performance and emissions. In this work, two distinct thermal barrier coatings have been identified, and the same coating materials were subsequently sprayed onto the pistons of an internal combustion engine. Transient thermal analysis reveals that TBC-1 and TBC-2 coatings reduce surface temperature distributions by 35% and 18%, respectively, and that these engines improve Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) by 8.71% and 7.62%, respectively, compared to non-coated engines operating under full load. TBC-1 and TBC-2 coated engines are found to have Brake-Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) reductions of 27.13% and 18.81%, respectively. Complete combustion reduces emissions of CO and HC, as the heat balance sheet indicates because the conversion of energy and mechanical work are enhanced by 3.56 percentage points and 2.0 percentage points, respectively.

Abstract

Crystal defects can be identified through the crystallographic characteristics of crystal orientation (lattice), microstrain, and texture. Identification of crystal defects on the atomic scale through crystallography is very important in analyzing the mechanism of material properties due to the influence of dislocations. The slip mechanism is analyzed to minimize coil spring failure. This study aims to analyze the causes of coil spring failure based on crystallography. XRD testing was carried out for analysis of residual stress, crystal orientation, and texture using MAUD 2.94 version software. Hardness testing was carried out on the surface of the coil spring with locations near and far from the fracture using micro Vickers. The macro fracture morphology was analyzed using a DSLR camera and the micro fracture morphology was analyzed using SEM. The XRD result shows that the coil spring material has a tensile residual stress value of "202.4 ± 15.9 MPa" with the resulting crystal orientation showing the hkl (100), (200), (211), (200) fields. The plane (200) has a texture characteristic that is oriented towards the Rolling direction along the spring axis. Texture oriented towards Rolling Direction can be shown with a maximum probability value of 1.191. A high probability will have an impact on the presence of material surface defects. Surface defects are indicated by the presence of pit corrosion on micro and macro fracture morphology observations. The pit corrosion defects that occur in the failed coil springs are the beginning of the formation of crack initiation and cause stress concentration. The stress concentration will increase with loading and cause crack propagation.

Abstract

An inspection is the most important step for the manufacturers producing their cars. This ensures the seamless compatibility of each car part, as even minor errors can lead to user discomfort during operation. To achieve that goal, the utilization of inspection tools, such as a checking fixture is essential. In this research, we will study the structure analysis of a checking fixture with Ansys software. This study aims to examine the structural strength by analyzing the impact of various design variations on the overall strength outcomes. The requirement for checking fixture is that it must meet the datum tolerance of the car with value of ± 2mm. Due to that factor, a rigid checking fixture is needed for inspecting the part without experiencing significant deformation. In static loading, the result of the first variation frame has a stress of 5.71 MPa and deformation of 0.051 mm, the second variation frame has a stress of 6.16 MPa and deformation of 0.049 mm and the third variation frame has a stress of 5.63 MPa and deformation 0.042 mm. In terms of weight, the first variation structure has 2470.48 kg, the second variation structure has 2179.93 kg and the third variation structure has 2210 kg. The second variation frame has the highest stress but it has the lightest weight, and the third variation frame has lower stress and deformation but it has a heavier weight than the second variation model. The study results that the second variation model is superior because it has the lightest weight while the three designs have small stress and deformation that still satisfy the requirement of the fixture.
