A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of working posture. work/rest ration, and task type on the physical workload in automobile assembly jobs. Ten healthy male university students participated as subjects in the experiment. East subject performed 18 experimental session with combination of 3 working posture 3 work/rest ratio and 2 task types. To examine the effect of various working conditions on workload, DMG analysis was performed on 4 different muscles in the neck an arm area, Also RPE scale and heart rate were taken as response variables. The result showed that all working conditions considered in the experiment had significant effects on the workload concluding that labor intensity in auto assembly jobs should be adjusted with respect to different levels of working posture, work/rest ratio, and task type. Detailed analysis are presented in the paper.

The purpose of this paper is to increase the effectiveness of decreasing time - load and cost down in manufacturing company using the new way of regulating standard time - load. Let us take an example of K automobile factory. This company have avoided the used to way of regulating standard ti me load in staff members and increased the effectiveness of decreasing time - load having participated all members centering around the Q.C circle. Here, We can take conclusions as below. 1. We could improve the consciousness of question and the consciousness of efficiency progress as a result of new way. 2. We could encourage the activation of organization and working desire of all members to be participated.

지능형 로봇은 인간 생활 환경에서 작동하고 일반 소비자를 대상으로 한다는 점에서 기존의 산업용 로봇과는 다른 내부 구조를 가져야 한다. 또한 표준화된 개방 구조를 갖추어 로봇 전용의 부품 산업이 활성화 될 수 있도록 하여 결과적으로 로봇의 단가를 낮출 수 있어야 한다. 본 고에서는 공장자동화와 자동차 분야에서 먼저 도입되고 있는 버스 형태의 제어 통신망이 지능형 로봇 분야에서 어떤 이점을 제공하는지에 대해 살펴보고, 최근의 2족 보행로봇에 성공적으로 적용되고 있는 대표적인 실시간 제어 통신망의 하나인 CAN에 대해 분석하고 CAN에 기반한 상위레벨 프로토콜을 소개한다.

Today anthropometric data used in the basic designing of own vehicles are foreign data rather than domestic data. The disagreement of the interface caused by this situation is causing of consumer's discomfort or less satisfaction. This study aims at constructing a database to determine the most efficient database for a Korean driver and optimize efficiency for both consumer and producer. The object of this database is for making a system that gathers manages processes and treats vast informations regarding the vehicles occupant package and the human body. The main contribution of this work is collecting basic informations and designing of the procedure.

We report on some of the preliminary results of the physiological responses resulting from vehicular speed changes. Healthy human subjects (n=5) were studied for the experiments. We measured the physiological responses of the subjects such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), and skin temperature for day and night vehicular speed change experiments, respectively. Before and after the tasks, we carried out a self-report for acquiring correlation with experiment results. Mean heart rate variability (HRV) and amplitude of GSR and skin temperature were calculated for 3 minutes duration in each state. The analysis of the physiological measures of ANS activity revealed that vehicle speed change-based affective state evoked arousal response pattern featured by HR acceleration, decrease of skin temperature, and increase of GSR amplitude. The obtained results show that despite some differences observed between each state, overall physiological responses show that the activity of the sympathetic nervous system increases as a result of the increase of speed.

Mahalanobis Taguchi-System (MTS) is a pattern information technology, which has been used in different diagnostic ap plications to make quantitative decisions by constructing a multivariate system using data analytic methods without any as sumption regarding statistical distribution. MTS performs Taguchi's fractional factorial design based on the Mahalanobis distance as a performance metric In this work, MTS used for analyzing automotive brake feeling system, which measured as a brake feel index (BFI) from 9 attributes. The automobile which has a good BFI score treated as a normal group for constructing Mahalanobis space. The results of this research show that two attributes (Pre load & Max deceleration) have a minus gain value and can be removed from further analysis. The difference of MD value between using all 9 attributes and just using significant attribute compared.

Spare part management is very important to products that have large number of parts and long lifecycle such as automobile and aircraft. Supply chain must support immediate procurement for repair. However, it is not easy to handle spare parts efficiently due to huge stock keeping units. Qualified forecasting is the basis for the supply chain to achieve the goal. In this paper, we propose an agent based modeling approach that can deal with various factors simultaneously without mathematical modeling. Simulation results show that the proposed method is reasonable to describe demand generation process, and consequently, to forecast demand of spare parts in long-term perspective.

Currently the problem of air pollution caused by the motor vehicle emission is of the most serious problems to be solved. Life Cycle Assessment is a process to evaluate the environmental burdens associated with a product or process by identifying and quantifying energy and materials used and wasters to the environment. This paper establishes a Life Cycle Assessment Systems which satisfies the criteria motor vehicle emission for the automobile producers who are currently producing the automobiles with catalytic convert. This plan also considered the constraint of the effective motor vehicle emission by way of the exhaust gas recirculation, electronic fuel injection, closed loop carburetor. In order to develope the performance of the LCA systems, the recent emissions test data have also been applied. The result of the development LCA systems has proved that the LCA plans presented in this paper satisfies the criteria motor vehicle emission and will be contributed to constrain the motor vehicle emission most effectively.

The computer-based simulation tools are currently used overwhelmingly to simulate the performance of automotive designs. Then, the search for an optimal solution that satisfies a number of performance requirements usually involves numerous iterations among several simulation tools. Therefore, meta-modeling techniques are becoming widely used to build approximations of computationally expensive computer analysis tools. The set-based approach proposed in the first report of a four-part paper has been a test bed for the innovation of vehicle structure design process in the Structural Design and Fabrication Committee of JSAE(Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan). In the second report, the proposed design approach is illustrated with a side-door impact beam design example using meta-modeling techniques.

To address global climate change, various governments are investing in electric vehicle research and, especially in Korea, the application of electric vehicles to public transportation. The lithium batteries used in electric vehicles typically have an expected life cycle of 2-5 years. If electric vehicles become commonly used, they will generate many discarded batteries that could be harmful to the environment. Additionally, lithium batteries are potentially explosive and should be handled appropriately. Thus, reverse logistics issues are involved in handling expired batteries efficiently and safely. Reverse logistics includes the collection, recycling, remanufacturing, and discarding of waste. This study developed a reverse logistics process for electric vehicle batteries after analyzing the as-is process for lead and lithium batteries. It also developed possible disposal regulations for electric vehicle batteries based on current laws regarding conventional batteries.
