An experimental study was conducted on the wear and friction responses in sliding tests of a micro-textured surface on laser pattern (LP) steel as reduction gear material in electric guided vehicle. In this research, the friction characteristics of laser pattern steel under different micro texture density conditions were investigated. The friction tests were carried out at sliding speeds of 0.06 m/s to 0.34 m/s and at normal loads of 2 to 10 N. Photolithography method was used to create the dimples for surface texturing purpose. Four different specimens having different dimple densities of 10%, 12.5%, 15%, and 20% were observed respectively. In this research, friction conditions as shown in Stribeck curve were investigated. Furthermore, the microscopic surface was observed using scanning electron microscope. It was found that the dimple density had a significant role on the friction characteristics of laser pattern steel conditioned as reduction gear material in an agricultural vehicle. The duty number showed that the friction condition was hydrodynamic regime. The best performance was obtained from 12.5% dimple density with lowest friction coefficient achieved at 0.018771 under the velocity of 0.34 m/s and 10N load.

This study determined the optimal positions of the movable steering wheel and pedal systems of industrial vehicle by various body dimensions. The position of objects and starting driving posture were measured by Martin-type anthropometer and goniometer. The X, Y and Z axis of movable steering wheel and pedal systems were measured horizon distance from right side to left side, horizon distance from front side to rear side and vertical distance from floor to ceiling. During the experiment in order to exclude learning effectiveness with forklift driving, 27 subjects who had male not experiences in driving a forklift used in the experiment. The relationship between the position of steering wheel and driver's posture with body dimensions was analyzed by using correlation relation and paired comparison t-test based on the measured data. The pedal location in X and Z axises was not related with various body dimensions. Also, the steering wheel was different among the angles of the right elbow and shoulder depending on the various body dimensions.

In this paper, we consider the Location-Routing Problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (LRPSPD) which is a general case of the location-routing problem. The LRPSPD is defined as finding locations of the depots and designing vehicle routes in such a way that pickup and delivery demands of each customer must be performed with same vehicle and the overall cost is minimized. Since the LRPSPD is an NP-hard problem, we propose a hybrid heuristic approach based on genetic algorithms (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) to solve the problem. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, we conduct an experimental study and compare its results with those obtained by a branch-and-cut algorithm on a set of instances derived from the literature. Computational results indicate that the proposed hybrid algorithm is able to find optimal or very good quality solutions in a reasonable computation time.

기간차량경로 문제는 차량용량제약을 고려한 차량경로문제를 다 기간으로 확장한 형태의 문제로 역방향 로지스틱스의 폐기물 혹은 재활용품 수거에 관련된 주요한 운영 문제들 중의 하나로 각 고객에 대해서는 계획기간 중에 방문해야 하는 횟수가 정해져 있어 방문날짜 조합을 결정해야 하며 주어진 방문날짜 조합 하에 각 기간의 차량경로도 결정해야 한다. 주요한 제약조건으로는 차량의 용량제약과 각 기간의 가용 시간제약이 있으며 소요차량의 대수를 최소화하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 대상 문제의 복잡도로 인하여 초기해를 구하고 그 해를 개선하는 2 단계 발견적 알고리듬을 제안하였으며 다양한 문제들에 대한 계산실험 결과 본 연구에서 제안하고 있는 발견적 알고리듬이 기존 알고리듬보다 우수함을 보였다.

Parcel delivery services are a bit different from general vehicle routing problems since the services require a deliver's walking time to give the parcel to the customer. This time takes more than 1/4 of total delivery time, but it is ignored for the convenience of algorithm design in general. The walking time is too big to be ignored if we need to estimate necessary delivery time precisely as much as possible, or to design a heuristic with varying vehicle moving speeds in metropolitan area. For these reasons, the walking times are surveyed and analyzed to use on the design of VRP heuristic for parcel delivery services in this research.

본 논문은 시간 제약을 갖는 차량 라우팅 문제를 해결하기 위해 유전자 알고리듬과 부분 최적화 알고리듬을 적용한 방법을 소개한다. 유전자 알고리듬에서의 염색체는 노드를 나타내는 정수의 순열로 표현되어 직접적인 해를 나타내지 않지만, 경험적 방법에 의한 해석을 통해 유효한 해로 변형되도록 하였다. 유전자 알고리듬에 의해 생성된 주어진 수의 우수한 해들에는 세 부분 최적화 방법이 순차적으로 적용되어 보다 좋은 해를 생성하도록 하였다. 부분 최적화 방법들에 의한 해는 다시 유전자 알고리듬의 해로 바뀌지 않도록 하여 두 알고리듬은 느슨하게 연결되도록 하였다. 솔로몬의 데이터를 이용한 실험에서 본 연구에서의 방법이 모든 문제에 대해 우수한 해를 생성함을 나타내었다. 특히, 지금까지 알려진 가장 우수한 경험적 방법에 비교될 만한 결과를 가져옴을 보였다.

This research deals with a vehicle scheduling problem for the sludge collection strategies which might be solved via quantitative analysis and cost evaluations schemes. This problem can be modeled as a kind of capacitated vehicle routing pick-up problems. With the aim of establishing operation schedule of vehicles and analyzing the total cost under considering various assumptions and realistic restrictions of the sludge collection problem, we propose a heuristic method based on the genetic algorithm in conjunction with the sweep algorithm and the 4-opt algorithm. Finally, we present the cost effective operation schedule that can be used as the managing tool for the sludge treatment plant of the multi-purpose dam.

This paper presents an aspect-oriented approach to simulation design and analysis in system design phase for integrated logistics system simulation. The integrated logistics system composed of AS/RS (Automated Storages and Retrieval System), AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicle System), STVs (Sorting Transfer Vehicle System) and Conveyor System is designed by using the aspect-oriented approach and UML (Unified Modeling Language). The multi-factorial design of experiments and regression analysis are used for design parameters of the system and Evolution Strategies is used to verify each parameter. Aspect-oriented approach for the integrated logistics system simulation shows the advantages of code reusability, extendible, modulation, easy improvement and a better design technique.

Since the basic built-in-test, prognostic health management (PHM) has evolved into more sophisticated and complex systems with advanced warning and failure detection devices. Aerospace and military systems, manufacturing equipment, structural monitoring, automotive electronic systems and telecommunication systems are examples of fields in which PHM has been fully utilized. Nowadays, the automotive electronic system has become more sophisticated and increasingly dependent on accurate sensors and reliable microprocessors to perform vehicle control functions which help to detect faults and to predict the remaining useful life of automotive parts. As the complication of automotive system increases, the need for intelligent PHM becomes more significant. Given enormous potential to be developed lays ahead, this paper presents findings and discussions on the trends of automotive PHM research with the expectation to offer opportunity for further improving the current technologies and methods to be applied into more advanced applications.

This paper deals with the control of the lateral motion of a mobile vehicle. A mobile vehicle using in this experiment is able to adapt many unmanned automatic driving system, for example, like a automated product transporting system. This vehicle is consist of the two servomotors. One is used to accelerate this vehicle and the another is used to change this lateral direction. An adaptive fuzzy logic controller(AFLC) is designed and applied to a experimental mobile vehicle in order to achieve the control of the lateral direction. An adaptive fuzzy logic controller(AFLC) is designed and applied to a experimental mobile vehicle in order to achieve the control of the lateral motion of the vehicle. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is investigate the possibility of applying adaptive fuzzy control algorithms to a microprocessor-based servomotor controller which requires faster and more accurate response compared with many other industrial processes. Fuzzy control rules are derived by modelling an expert's driving actions. Experiments are performed using a mobile vehicle with sensing units, a microprocessor and a host computer.
