A graphic software is one of the most important components of the vehicle simulator. To increase a visual reality of the simulator, the graphic software should require several technologies such as three-dimensional graphics, graphic modeling of the vehicle and the environment, drivers biomechanical models, and real-time data processing. This study presents a real time graphic driving simulator of a construction vehicle. The graphic simulator contains the three models of the construction vehicle, the human, and the environment, and employes a neural network approach to decrease an on-line dynamic computation. An excavator model is represented using an object-oriented paradigm and contains the detailed information about a real-size vehicle. The human model is introduced for objective visual evaluations of the developed excavator model. Since the environment model plays an important role in a real-time simulator, a block-based approach is implemented and a text format is utilized for easier construction of environment. The simulation results are illustrated in order to demonstrate the applicability of developed models and the neural network approach.

This paper develops ABS braking real - time simulator to develop vehicle braking system by simulation. Recently, real-time simulation is widely used in the development of vehicles to decrease development time. In the field of electronic braking, real-time simulation is actively underway. In order to simulate electronic braking model in real time, a vehicle model, a hydraulic model, and a control S/W model are required. These models must be calculated in one platform. Therefore, in this paper, a vehicle model composed of CarSim and a hydraulic model composed of SimulationX using S/W in actual ABS controller was developed as a Simulink model base and linked with Matlab real time model. Using this real-time model, design effects of the electronic braking controller were simulated according to road surface condition to verify its operability.

The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is an active control system that controls the posture of the vehicle by sensing the unstable state of the vehicle during braking, driving, or turning. The system works if the vehicle becomes unstable and it is very dangerous to develop it in the actual vehicle. For this reason, many studies have been carried out on the method of developing with simulation such as SIL / EIL. Some advanced companies have already applied it to the product development process. In this study, ESP hydraulic system and braking device model were constructed using SimulationX to build ESP SIL / EIL model. The hydraulic system model was constructed using the actual design parameters and the performance of the hydraulic model was verified by comparing with the actual vehicle test.

At an early design stage of rail track, dynamic analyses using a standard vehicle model of ADAMS/Rail are employed. In the real field, it is very difficult to find an optimal solution on the designing of rail track considering future operating vehicles because the construction of rail track should be done in the advance of vehicle selection and operation. Using a standard vehicle model of ADAMS/Rail, however the better selection among designed rail tracks is possible by comparing the dynamic analysis.

In this paper, we deal with the vehicle routing problem that could establish operational plan of military engineer for survivability support of artillery position construction. We propose VRPTW(vehicle routing problem with time-window) model of special form that considered service level to reflect the characteristics of military operations rather than the logic of economic efficiencies in the objective function. Furthermore we suggest modified particle swarm optimization algorithm for service based vehicle routing problem solution that can be possible to search in complicated and uncertain area and control relation softly between global and local search.

In general, the aluminum extrusions are used to the light construction of the high speed rail vehicle structures. However, the research works ok the crashworthy design of the high speed rail vehicle structures are not published sufficiently because the crash test of high speed rail vehicle structures costs high and is complicated. So, a method that can predict crash characteristics of a large size structure like a high speed tail vehicle should be suggested. In this study, the scale model studies are performed to predict the impact energy absorption characteristics of full scale model. In the first place, we verified the theory of scale law using FE-simulation from the crashworthiness point of view. Secondly, we performed the crush test using scale model, made of aluminum sub structure. As a result, we could predict the crash characteristics using scale model by 10∼20% error.

In this paper, research for dynamic wheel loads of 3-D vehicle model considering tire enveloping model is carried out. Heavy trucks with 2-axles and 3-axles are modeled by 7-d.o.f. and 8-d.o.f., in which contact length of tire and pitching of tandem spring axles is considered. Dynamic equations of vehicle are derived by using the Lagrange's equation and solution of the equation is calculated by 5th Runge-Kutter method. The validity of the developed 3-D vehicle model is demonstrated by comparing the results obtained by the present method and experimental data by Whittemore. The maximum impact factors of tire force are calculated when vehicle models of 8ton and 15ton dump truck are running on the different class roads with 1.0km and on the various step bump.

It is difficult for most of passenger cars to attach various types of suspensions. The modular experimental vehicle, which is designed to exchange suspension systems, has been developed to evaluate the effect of design changes of a suspension upon ride and handling characteristics of a vehicle. In order to enable the assemblage between modules, the experimental vehicle design is based on a space frame construction through finite element analysis. Moreover, module frames and brackets are designed using three-dimensional solid modeler to check the interference between each part of a vehicle. Steady-state and transient road tests were performed. Multibody dynamic model and simplified linear vehicle model are made to compare with the tests. The results of simulations and tests show the performance and validity of this experimental vehicle.

The major objective of this research is to evaluate performance of improved intersections for response time to emergency vehicle preemption. Smart technologies have been introduced to civil infrastructure systems for resilient communities. The technologies need to evaluate their effectiveness and feasibility to confirm their introduction. This research focuses on the performance of emergency vehicle preemption, represented by response time, when smart intersections are introduced in a community. The response time is determined by not only intersections but also a number of factors such as traffic, distance, road conditions, and incident types. However, the evaluation of emergency response has often ignored factors related to emergency vehicle routes. In this respect, this research synthetically analyzes geospatial and incident data using each route of emergency vehicle and conducts before-and-after evaluations. The changes in performance are analyzed by the impact of smart intersections on response time through Bayesian regression models. The result provides measures of the project's performance. This study will contribute to the body of knowledge on modeling the impacts of technology application and integrating heterogeneous data sets. It will provide a way to confirm and prove the effectiveness of introducing smart technologies to our communities.

In this paper, we describe a hydraulic system design and vehicle dynamic modeling for development of tire roller traction, an essential aspect in the system analysis of tire rollers. Generally, tire rollers are one of the most useful types of machines employed in road construction, technically applied to many construction fields. We also conceptualize a new hydraulic and driving system as well as define the motion equations for dynamic and hydraulic analysis. First, we design the hydraulic circuit of the steering control and driving machine system, which can be employed to advance the performance of the lateral control, creating a prototype of construction equipment. Second, we formulate the hydraulic steering system model and hydraulic driving system model through tire roller system development technology. Finally, we validate the acquired performance results in actual tire roller equipment using the data acquisition system. These results may perhaps facilitate the establishment of priorities and design strategies for incremental introduction of tire roller technology into the vehicle and construction field.
