To reduce fuel consumption by reducing the weight of the deck of a dump truck and to design an eco-friendly deck, accurate structural analysis is required. To date, the load on the deck has been calculated based on the hydrostatic pressure or by applying the earth pressure theory. However, these methods cannot be used to determine the non-uniformity of the load on the deck. Load distribution varies depending on the size distribution and interaction of aggregate particles. Compared with the finite element method, the discrete element method can simulate the behavior of aggregate particles more effectively. In this study, major properties were obtained by measuring bulk density and repose. The deck of a 15 ton dump truck was simulated using the obtained properties and bumping, breaking, and turning load conditions were applied. EDEM, which is a discrete element analysis software, was employed. The stress and strain distribution of the deck were calculated by NASTRAN and compared with the measured values. The study revealed that the results derived from a DEM simulation were more accurate than those based on mathematical assumption.

We developed a Windows-based program for discrete event simulation of truck-loader haulage systems in an underground mine. The Daesung MDI limestone mine located in Samcheok City, Gangwon Province, Korea was selected as the study area to design the program. The developed program is composed of the graphic user interface (GUI) and simulation engine implemented by Visual Basic.NET 2012 and the GPSS/H simulation language, respectively. When a user sets up input parameters for the discrete event simulation through GUI, the program activates the simulation engine, and then simulation results are displayed on GUI. This paper describes the details of the program development as well as its applications to the study area to determine the optimal number of trucks dispatched at each loading point under different operating conditions.

There has been an increasing demand on measurement of the vibration levels in commercial truck shipments, where all packaged products are exposed to some levels of random vibration and shock. In this study, bear glass bottles loaded at the front, middle, and rear positions of 11 tonne truck bed was shipped from Kwangju to Waegouan. Vertical direction vibration levels were analysed and matching laboratory random vibration test was performed using power spectral density (PSD) profiles derived from truck transit records. Also, the effects of drop hight on glass bottles were evaluated. As expected, the maximum vibration levels were recorded at the rear of truck bed. No breakage of bottles were observed during truck transit and laboratory random vibration testing set at 0.52 $G_{rms}$. In drop test, glass bottles were not damaged by bottom side impact, while short side drop impact caused about twice higher bottle breakage rate than that of long side drop impact at 30 cm and 40 cm drop hight.

In determining vertical grades in highway alignment design, engineers usually consider heavy vehicle performances on the upgrade. Heavy vehicles usually experience speed reduction on the upgrade and with recent years weight/horsepower improvements for heavy vehicles the speed reduction shows some change. However, in spite of the weight to horsepower improvements for the design vehicles from 300lb/HP to 200lb/HP in the AASHTO, there was no change in the maximum vertical grades. Therefore, a review of the maximum vertical grade reflecting existing heavy vehicle performances is required. In particular, in South Korea where highways pass through lots of mountaineous terrain, the maximum vertical grades must be reviewed throughly. In this study the amount of heavy vehicle performances during past decades were investigated and their expected impacts on highway vertical alignment designs were subsequently analyzed. A worldwide terrain analysis and international design standards were compared to set South Korean vertical grade standards. Traffic flow simulation Vissim was utilized to simulate vehicular flows on the upgrade and new truck performance curves on the grades were developed. Based on the new curve, it was decided that $1{\sim}2%$ increase of the maximum vertical grades could be allowed.

The cover of truck agitator give in a part to prevent the lower flowing of fresh concrete when the concrete are transported from the ready mixed concrete plant to the construction field. As a result of the question data, it show up a dirty image to the general civil society. Due to the above image, it is predicted to affect the image of the construction company, so we did the site experiment of the flowing, the amounts of air, the temperature change of concrete with the concrete left in the site, to find out the usefulness. Also, for the comparing with this, we got the result by doing the inner experiment with the same condition. As the result of the experiment, the cover of truck agitator affect little to the reduction of slump. The change of the air amount, regardless of the existence of cover, was not effected much in proper level until 60minutes. In addition, The compression strength was proper to the goal design strength until 90minutes regardless of the cover of truck agitator exist or not exist.

기존 자동차 및 트럭용 Jump Starter의 경우, 일반적인 자동차용 납축전지를 이용하여 사용하기 때문에 부피와 무게가 매우 커 휴대성이 어렵고, 고가의 제품군으로 형성되어 있어 일반 운전자들은 구입 및 사용하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 또한 리튬배터리를 이용한 Jump Starter의 경우, 부피는 줄었지만 원가가 매우 비싸고 주기적으로 충전을 하여 휴대해야하기 때문에 이용성에 불편함이 있고 실제 트럭이나 버스 같은 대용량 배터리는 Jump Starter가 구동을 하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문은 자동차 및 트럭용 Jump Starter의 부피 및 원가를 최소화하면서 일반 운전자들도 휴대 가능한 편리성을 높이며, 대형트럭도 적용 가능한 건전지와 Super Capacitor를 이용한 초소형 저가형 Jump Starter 회로를 제안한다. 기존의 Jump Starter는 납축전지나 리튬전지를 사용하기 때문에, 전체적인 회로의 부피가 크고 무거우며 전체 제품의 원가가 증가하여 제품성이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 또한 리튬전지를 사용하게 되면 주기적으로 충전을 해야 하기 때문에 소비자가 휴대 및 이용하기에 불편한 문제점도 있다. 반면 제안된 회로는 일반 소모용 건전지로도 Jump Starter 회로 구동이 가능하기 때문에, 운전자의 휴대성이 간편하고 언제 어디서든 소모용 건전지를 구매할 수 있기 때문에 운전자의 휴대성과 이용성이 매우 우수하다. 또한 순간적인 방전이 가능한 Super Capacitor를 이용하여 전체적인 회로의 부피 및 제품의 원가를 최소화 할수 있는 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로이 이론적인 특성을 분석하고 모의실험을 통해 확인하였으며, 실제 방전된 배터리 및 대형버스에 적용하여 실험을 통해 우수성을 검증하였다.

An important operational goal of a container terminal is to maximize the efficiency of the operation of quay cranes (QCs) that load and/or unload containers onto and from vessels. While the maximization of the efficiency of the QC operation requires minimizing the delay of yard tractors (YT) that transport containers between the storage yard and QCs, the delay is often inevitable because of traffic congestion. In this paper, we propose a method for learning a model that predicts traffic speed in a terminal using only YT operation data, even though the YT traffic is mixed with that of external trucks. Without any information on external truck traffic, we could still make a reasonable traffic forecast because the YT operation data contains information on the YT routes in the near future. The results of simulation experiments showed that the model learned by the proposed method could predict traffic speed with significant accuracy.

By according to increase the research for autonomous vehicle in automobile industries, the efficient of autonomous cargo truck instead of conventional driver cargo truck will be analyzed in logistics areas. The inland transportation has been serious problem such as traffic accident, traffic congestion in downtown, air pollution, noise and etc. even if it have a great effect to logistics industries. Especially there have to be improved its transportation schedule and sleepy driving in night which induced heavy accident in highway. In this study, the effectiveness of autonomous cargo truck will be analysed by considering the logistics cost including social effects.
