<![CDATA[The research presented in this article expresses experimental results on combustion duration effect on the dual fueled engine. In particular, the research was focused on the emissions occurred specifically from a hydrogen-ethanol dual fueled engine. This study was performed on a compression ignition engine that was converted to run and act as a spark ignition engine. This modified engine was fueled by hydrogen–ethanol with various percentage substitutions of hydrogen. The substitution was altered from 20 to 80% at a constant speed of 1500 rpm. The various engine emission characteristics such as CO, Hydrocarbon, and NOx were experimentally determined. This study resulted that at a compression ratio of 11:1 and combustion duration of 25°CA, the best operating conditions of the engine were shown. Moreover, the optimum fuel combination was established at 60 to 80% of hydrogen substitution to ethanol. The experimental results also revealed that at 100% load and at compression ratios 7, 9, and 11; the CO and HC emissions have decreased while NOx increased and followed with the increase in the percentage of hydrogen addition and combustion duration. It was concluded that the retarding combustion duration was preferred for NOx emission control in the engine.]]>

<![CDATA[Dynamic characteristics of a critical speed of the rotor components at interior permanent magnet motor were evaluated using one-dimensional (1D) and three-dimensional (3D) finite element methods. Critical speed of the rotor wasinvestigated in the Campbell diagram, which shows the relationship between natural frequency and rotational velocity of the system when the motor is not in operation. The 1D finite element analysis shows that there are two modes which are close to the design frequency of 300 Hz i.e. mode 1 and 2. However the critical rotational velocity in both modes are still far above the maximum velocity design of 6,000 rpm. Validation using 3D finite element analysis demonstrated that all modes were still above the designed frequency and did not find any critical speed below 6,000 rpm. It can be concluded that the critical speed of the rotor of IPM motor is still outside the system resonance region, and can be operated safely.]]>

<![CDATA[Well-regulated DC bus voltage is the important point to guarantee the power demand in hybrid vehicle applications. Voltage regulation can be achieved with control method that build switching signal on DC-DC converter. This paper describes design and small scale experimental results of bus voltage regulation control of the DC-DC bidirectional converter with battery and supercapacitor as energy source. The control system consists of two control loops, the outer loop that get DC bus voltage feedback using PI anti-windup back calculation control method. This outer loop will generate a reference current for the inner loop that implement hysteresis control. The inner control loop will compare that reference curent with the source current obtained from the current sensor. Simulation and experimental results show that bus voltage is well-regulated under the load changes with 1% voltage ripple.]]>

<![CDATA[Sleep-related driving fatigue has been recognised as one main cause of traffic accidents. In Indonesia, experiment-based driving fatigue study is still very limited, therefore it is necessary to develop laboratory-based experiment procedure for sleep-related fatigue study. In this preliminary study, we performed a literature review to find references for the procedure and three pilot experiments to test the instruments and procedure to be used in measuring driving fatigue. Three subjects participated, both from experienced and inexperienced drivers. Our pilot experiments were performed on a driving simulator using OpenDS software with brake and lane change test reaction time measurement. We measured sleepiness by using Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) Questionnaire. The conditions of the experiment were based on illumination intensity as well as pre- and post-lunch session. We found that lane change reaction time is more potential than brake reaction time to measure driving performance as shown by the more fluctuating data. Post-lunch seems to induce drowsiness greater than illumination intensity. KSS questionnaire seems non-linear with driving performance data. We need to test further these speculations in the future studies involving a sufficient number of subjects. We also need to compare the effect of circadian rhythm and sleep deprivation on driving fatigue. The use of eye closure and physiological measurement in further study will enable us to measure driving fatigue more objectively. Considering the limitations, more preliminary experiments are required to be performed before conducting the main experiment of driving fatigue.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents a design and implementation of a converter which has a high power factor for battery charger application. The converter is a combination of a SEPIC converter and a full-bridge DC-DC converter connected in two stages of series circuit. The SEPIC converter works in discontinuous conduction mode and it serves as a power factor corrector so that the shape of input current waveform follows the shape of input voltage waveform. The full-bridge DC-DC converter serves as a regulator of output voltage and operates at continuous conduction mode. The experimental results show that the power factor of this converter system can be achieved up to 0.96.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents an overview of urban traffic flow from the perspective of system theory and stochastic control. The topics of modeling, identification, estimation and simulation techniques are evaluated and validated using actual traffic flow data from the city of Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia, and synthetic data generated from traffic micro-simulator VISSIM. The results on particle filter (PF) based state estimation and Expectation-Maximization (EM) based parameter estimation (identification) confirm the proposed model gives satisfactory results that capture the variation of urban traffic flow. The combination of the technique and the simulator platform assembles possibility to develop a real-time traffic light controller. Â ]]>
