Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of replacing halogen lights with LED lights on two-wheeled vehicles, focusing on energy efficiency, light brightness levels, and operational temperatures of the lights to support road safety in areas with minimal road lighting, as well as on adjusting the light distribution of the applied LED lights. The method used was an experiment conducted on variables for which data were unavailable, necessitating manipulation of the research object. The experiment was conducted using a Honda Supra 125 FI motorcycle, with measurements of light intensity (lux), power consumption (watts), battery current (V), electric current (A), and operating temperature (°C). The known impact became a reference for regulating LED light distribution. The test shows that applying a barrier plate design to LED lights can provide focused lighting through its light distribution patterns. The application of the baffle plate design to LED lights provided focused lighting through its light distribution patterns. The use of LED lights provided a slightly higher intensity (6.4%) and an energy consumption efficiency 60% higher, with a reduction in operating temperature of 64%. The application results show that the light control plate successfully forms a bright-dark cut-off, with a uniform light distribution and consistent light intensity of 1854 lux. This indicates that the tested LED lamp maintains stable lighting performance without a decrease in brightness.

Abstract

This study aims to design and implement an electronic control system to automate the GMAW welding process, focusing on precise regulation of travel speed and travel length to improve repeatability, safety, and weld consistency. The methodology is organized into four stages: (1) needs analysis to define functional requirements, user constraints, and operating ranges; (2) system design covering hardware architecture, sensor and actuator selection, and embedded control logic; (3) implementation through microcontroller-based integration of a motion drive, user interface, and parameter-setting features; and (4) testing to verify accuracy, stability, and performance under realistic operating conditions. The results demonstrate that the system regulates welding speed with an accuracy of 92.54%–99.44%, while maintaining a maximum time standard deviation of 0.038 seconds, indicating stable motion over repeated trials. For welding length control, the system achieves an average absolute error of 0.35–0.5 mm, a percentage error of 0.17%–0.7%, and a standard deviation of 0.051 mm or less, supporting consistent endpoint positioning. In real-world welding tests, the actual weld length deviation ranges from 0.20 to 1.71 mm. It remains within ISO 13920 Class D tolerance limits, confirming practical applicability for general fabrication. The developed controller enables precise parameter control over a speed range of 100–800 mm/min and a length range of 50–300 mm, reducing the need for direct operator intervention and limiting human-induced variability. Overall, the system supports safer, more consistent welding operations and provides a scalable platform for integrating additional monitoring or adaptive control functions. Suitable for training, prototyping, and routine production trials. Future work will address adaptive control diagnostics.

Abstract

The objectives of this research are: (1) Designing a brake bleeding tool that will be used for the process of bleeding car brakes at the UMC Suzuki Ahmad Yani Surabaya workshop, (2) Knowing the effectiveness of the brake bleeding tool when used at the UMC Suzuki Ahmad Yani Surabaya workshop, (3) Finding out work efficiency after work is carried out using the brake bleeding tool at the UMC Suzuki Ahmad Yani Surabaya workshop. The design of the car brake bleeding tool was developed through analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, resulting in a specialized tool that enhances the mechanic's work at the PT UMC Suzuki Ahmad Yani Surabaya workshop. This tool helps mechanics bleed car brakes, which previously required conventional tools and at least 2-3 additional mechanics. With the developed brake bleeding tool, mechanics only need to work with one person. This tool can also reduce the time required for brake bleeding, which is usually 17 minutes, to just 9 minutes. The development of a brake bleeding tool proved very effective in expediting brake bleeding maintenance at the UMC Suzuki Ahmad Yani Surabaya workshop. With this tool, manual bleeding tools are no longer required, making work more effective without additional labor. This tool produces a time efficiency of 55%. This tool makes the brake bleeding process more accurate and reliable, providing consistent quality assurance and, overall, increasing the productivity and effectiveness of workshop operations.

Abstract

Air pollution from vehicle emissions, including NO₂, SO₂, O₃, TSP, and CO, negatively impacts workers' health and reduces work efficiency and productivity. This study aims to (1) develop an exhaust system at the Nissan Mlati ATPM workshop, and (2) determine the effectiveness of the exhaust system. The process of optimizing the exhaust system to improve air quality in the vehicle service repair stall was carried out through a comprehensive design and development project, including design and development phases and tool use. Then, metric volume (theoretical), actual use, and performance efficiency calculations were used. The results of the study show that optimizing the exhaust system at the Nissan Mlati ATPM workshop has been proven effective in increasing airflow capacity, maintaining air quality, and improving performance efficiency. This system can reduce the concentrations of pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) and increase workshop productivity without requiring structural design changes. The overall percentage results show a 51.03% increase in value after exhaust system optimization. This exhaust system not only improves air quality but also increases work productivity, which is crucial in the automotive industry's competition.

Abstract

This study aims to: (1) design and analyze a portable ramp to improve bus repair efficiency at PT. United Tractors Semarang Branch, (2) with a focus on facilitating repairs and reducing dependence on service pits. (3) This portable ramp is expected to overcome access constraints to the underside of buses, speed up repair time, and improve work safety for mechanics. This study uses the DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify) method to develop portable ramps. These stages include problem discovery, technical data collection, analysis of materials, 3D model design using SolidWorks, and verification using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure structural strength and compliance with safety standards. This study successfully designed and analyzed a portable ramp for bus repairs, capable of withstanding an operational load of 88,750 Newtons with a safety factor≥ 3.0, a maximum deformation of ≤ 5 mm, and a safe von Mises stress distribution. The selection of ASTM A36 Carbon Steel resulted in optimal strength and weight, as well as cost efficiency. The ramp design also meets workshop operational needs and improves repair process efficiency. This research successfully designed an optimal portable ramp for the PT. United Tractors Semarang Branch Workshop, considering operational efficiency and safety, ASTM A36 Carbon Steel was selected as the best material based on strength, weight, and cost. It is recommended to implement this portable ramp, along with technician training, maintenance system development, and expansion to other branches, to improve bus repair efficiency.
