Abstract

The high risk of glare from vehicle headlights at night often becomes a significant contributor to traffic accidents, particularly for motorcyclists and drivers of lightweight vehicles. To address this issue, a smart glare-blocking system based on a PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) film has been developed. This research proposes the design, development, and testing of a PDLC film system integrated with an LDR (Light-Dependent Resistor) sensor to automatically detect light intensity and adjust the film's opacity in real-time. The goal is to enhance driver visibility and comfort without compromising overall road safety. The experimental setup involved placing the prototype system at varying distances (0–9 meters) from a controlled light source at night. Measurements were conducted to collect data on light intensity, voltage output, resistance of the LDR, and the degree of light attenuation achieved by the PDLC film. The results showed that at a distance of 1 meter, the PDLC film could block up to 99.85% of incoming light, reducing 12080 Lux to only 17 Lux. Moreover, the film began to react at 6 meters with an output voltage of 34V. It became fully transparent at 8–9 meters with an output of 50V. The findings demonstrate that the PDLC system functions effectively in detecting potential glare and reducing its impact before it reaches the driver's eyes. This intelligent system offers a promising solution for minimizing night-driving hazards by dynamically adapting to changing light conditions.

Abstract

This study tests the structural performance of the Pancanaka 2000 tooth bucket, a common heavy-duty excavation component. The goals are to determine the component testing method, analyze the findings of finite element simulation sub-modeling, and identify the causes of structural failure. Shining 3D scanning created a detailed model of the Pancanaka 2000 tooth bucket. ANSYS simulation software performed a Finite Element Analysis on this model. A 10-ton static force was applied to imitate working circumstances on the bucket teeth tip. The simulation monitored mechanical reactions, including total displacement, von Mises stress, and safety factors, which indicate structural reliability. The study found numerous noteworthy findings. First, the computerized model of the bucket teeth allowed for an exact analysis of loading stress. The simulation revealed a region susceptible to failure under high loads, characterized by a maximum total displacement of 0.38883 mm, a maximum von Mises stress of 321.5 MPa, and a minimum safety factor of 1.328. Qualitative analysis identified material as the leading cause of fracture. Wear and scraping were noticed at the bucket tooth-adapter interface. Mechanical failure was also linked to component gaps exceeding design tolerance. These flaws lead to inappropriate load distribution and stress concentration, resulting in structural failure during operation. According to this study, the durability and performance of excavator components, such as the Pancanaka 2000 teeth bucket, depend on correct design, strict material selection, and precise assembly tolerances.

Abstract

This study focused on the design, development, and evaluation of a Special Service Tool (SST) created explicitly for maintaining kingpin components in Hino Series 300 trucks. The research focused on the challenges and safety issues encountered by technicians stemming from the lack of specialized tools for kingpin removal. This often led to extended service times, variable repair quality, and a heightened risk of damaging components. To address these challenges, the research employed the ADDIE development model, which comprises five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. In the design phase, 3D modeling was performed using SolidWorks, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted to verify the tool's structural integrity under various load scenarios, reaching up to 19,613 N. The SST was made from ASTM A36 steel, recognized for its mechanical strength and ease of manufacturing. The simulation results demonstrated that the structure stayed within safe limits for both stress and deformation, achieving a minimum safety factor of 1.1. The implementation took place at PT. MPM Hino Yogyakarta, where field testing showed a significant enhancement in technician efficiency. The SST cut down kingpin maintenance time from 360 minutes to only 42.08 minutes, achieving an impressive 88.3% reduction in time spent. Testing for effectiveness, based on feedback from technicians and supervisors, revealed a high level of user satisfaction, particularly in terms of safety, usability, and ergonomic design. The SST tracker kingpin provides a dependable, effective, and secure option for maintaining commercial vehicles. The successful application of it at a Hino service center highlights its practical benefits and the potential for wider implementation throughout the automotive maintenance sector. Additional improvements could involve ergonomic adjustments and the ability to accommodate various truck models, thereby facilitating broader use.

Abstract

The development of energy-efficient vehicles in student competitions encourages innovation in lightweight and high-performance automotive systems. The Garuda UNY Team, representing Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, has been actively involved in national competitions such as the Kontes Mobil Hemat Energi (KMHE). In recent evaluations, the team identified a critical weakness in their vehicle's drivetrain, specifically the Internal Gear Hub (IGH) used in the UG-24, which failed to withstand engine torque during acceleration, leading to gear slippage and mechanical failure. To address this issue, a new transmission system was designed and manufactured using the 4D development framework: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The Define phase identified the mismatch between the IGH design and engine torque requirements. In the Design phase, a new gearbox layout was modeled using Autodesk Inventor, incorporating components such as a crankcase, cover, and custom gear ratios. The development phase involved selecting materials, laser cutting, machining, and assembling transmission parts from mild steel and aluminum. Finally, the Dissemination phase consisted of installing the system in the UG-24 vehicle and conducting a performance evaluation through structured interviews with drivers. Evaluation results showed improved gear shifting performance, with a 75% success rate across ten indicators. Despite positive outcomes, some issues, such as shifting resistance and gear engagement noise, were observed. These were linked to cable friction and dog clutch geometry. Design improvements such as optimized routing and chamfering were recommended for future iterations. This research highlights the impact of tailored transmission systems in student-built energy-efficient vehicles. It provides insight into practical, scalable drivetrain solutions.

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.
