The introduction of a diesel engine into the passenger car and light duty applications in the United States involves significant technical challenges for the automotive makers. This paper describes the SCR System optimization procedure for such a diesel engine application to meet Tier2 Bin5 emission regulation. A urea SCR system, a representative $NO_x$ reduction after-treatment technique, is applied to a 3.0 liter diesel engine. To achieve the maximum $NO_x$ reduction performance, the exhaust system layout was optimized using series of the computational fluid dynamics and the urea distribution uniformity test. Furthermore a comprehensive simulation model for the key factors influencing $NO_x$ reduction performance was developed and embedded in the Simulink/Matlab environment. This model was then applied to the urea SCR system and played a key role to shorten the time needed for SCR control parameter calibration. The potential of a urea SCR system for reducing diesel $NO_x$ emission is shown for FTP75 and US06 emission standard test cycle.

In automotive engineering, the brand sound is one of the important advantage strategy in a car company. For the design of brand sound, the selection of descriptive word for a car sound is one of major works in automotive sound quality research. In paper, booming sound and rumbling sound, which are professional words used by NVH engineers are used for the design of brand sound. We employed sound metrics which are the subjective parameter used in psychoacoustics. According to most research results, the relationship between subjective evaluations and sound metrics has nonlinear characteristics and is very complex. In order to link these subjective evaluations to sound metrics, the artificial neural network technology has been applied to two-dimensional sound quality index for a passenger car. These indexes is used for 46 passenger cars, which are samples of famous cars in the world. Also the preference in car sounds is evaluated by the trained NVH engineers. We coupled this preference with booming and rumbling sounds by using artificial neural network. In future, the two -dimensional sound index and preference index are very useful fur the development of brand sound in passenger cars.

The clutch with torsional damper is installed on a passenger car with manual transmission, which not only transmits the power generated by engine to the transmission but also absorbs the shock and vibration from the engine. The torsional damper in the clutch dissipates the torsional vibration energy and eliminates the resonance in the driveline but high damping in the damper causes the increase of the vibration level which is against the comfort and durability. In this study, a dynamic model for the passenger car driveline with manual transmission was developed to investigate the vibration and the effects of characteristics of the driveline. With the dynamic model, the vibration characteristics of driveline were examined by the mode analysis and driving simulation, and the effects of hysteresis torque and spring constant were investigated. The vehicle tests with prototype torsional dampers were preformed and the test results showed good agreements with the simulation.

For the design of brand sound, the selection of descriptive word for a car sound is one of major works in automotive sound quality research. In this paper, booming and rumbling sound, which are professional words used by sound and vibration engineers are used for the design of brand sound. We employed sound quality metrics, which are used in the psychoacoustics. By most research results, the relationship between subjective evaluations and sound quality metrics has nonlinear characteristics. In order to correlate these subjective evaluations with sound quality metrics, the artificial neural network technology has been applied to two-dimensional sound quality index for a passenger car. These indexes are used for 46 passenger cars, which are samples of the famous cars around the world. Also a preference evaluation for car sound was carried out by sound and vibration engineers. We coupled this preference with booming and rumbling sounds by using artificial neural network. In future, the two dimensional sound and preference index will be very useful to develop brand sound in passenger cars.

교통의 흐름에 있어서의 트럭 및 콘테이너 차량 등 대형차량의 혼입은 차체의 크기에 기인한 넓은 공간의 점유 및 승용차에 비해 상대적으로 떨어지는 차량운행 능력 등의 특성 때문에 도로의 용량을 감소시키는 중요한 요인이 된다. 도로의 교통용량산정 시 이러한 대형차량의 혼입에 의한 용량의 감소를 나타내는 척도로서의 승용차 환산계수의 개념은 1965년 도로용량편람에서 처음으로 도입되었으며, 이후 구미의 많은 학자들에 의해 연구되었다. 본 연구에서는 차량배열 형태에 따른 차두시간의 분석을 통해 환산계수의 도출을 시도하였다. 분석을 위한 교통자료의 수집은 통행차량 차종의 대부분이 승용차와 대형차로 구성되어 있으며 비교적 관측이 용이한 부산시 도시고속도로의 평지구간에서 첨두시간과 비 첨두시간으로 나누어 실시되었다. 본 연구에서의 환산계수 산정방법은 차두시간의 분석을 통한 미시적 접근방법인바, 동방법의 정확성 및 효율적 검증을 위해서는 거시적 접근 방법에 의한 산정방법과의 비교분석이 요구된다.

A numerical parametric study has been accomplished to figure out the effect of grille shape built in a small passenger car on the aerodynamic performance such as drag and mass flow rate through CRFM(Condenser Radiator Fan Module). Three grille opening parameters and three grille mesh parameters are selected and adopted to a simple shape passenger car model. This research will provide a design guideline for grille opening geometry and mesh shape in the grille. FLUENT, which is very well known commercial code, hires k-${\epsilon}$ turbulence model at the driving speed of 110km/h with moving wall boundary condition. A porous media condition is prepared to estimate the pressure drop amount through CRFM parts.

A Study has been conducted on the characteristics of temperature variation depending on passenger number that is measured in Bundang Line(From Sunleng To Bojong). As a basic study, the air quality of passenger room for the electric rail car is evaluated. Although ISO7730 recommends that the height of measuring points for the heat environment is to set at 0.1m, 0.6m, 1.1m and 1.7m respectively, temperature are measured at two points at 1.1m and 1.7m because of the difficulty to measure temperature of 0.1m height in rush hour. We compared the results of temperature variations between two stations in rush hour(07:56-08:41). In general, the capacity of a passenger car is designed for 160 persons, but over 280 persons often board on electric rail in rush hour. The temperature of room is adjusted from $22^{\circ}C$ to $24^{\circ}C$, but it is measured from $26^{\circ}C$ to $28^{\circ}C$ on average. Therefore, it shows that there are difference between the set temperature and measured one. This article suggests the ways of the time adjusting and air-conditioning to satisfy customer's demand and the guide line to design the optimum capacity of air-conditioner of the new electric rail car which will be introduced in the near future.

Safety performance of a new car is evaluated through USNCAP and their results in the star rating are provided to the consumers. It is very important to obtain high score of USNCAP to appeal their performance to consumers. Therefore the car companies have made the effort to improve their car safety performance. These efforts should satisfy the demand not only to get high score but also to pass the FMVSS, NHTSA regulations on safety. Huge numbers of car crash tests have been conducted on these bases by car companies. However physical tests spend too much cost and time, as an alternative way, the simulation on the car crash could be a solution to reduce the cost and time. Therefore the simulations have been widely conducted in car industry and various researches on this have been reported. In this study, restraint system had been optimized to minimize the injury of female passenger. Belted $5^{th}%ile$ female frontal crash test was selected from various test methods of USNCAP for the study. Initial velocity of the test was 56km/h. The combination injury probability of USNCAP was selected as an objective function and the injury limit value, which was defined in FMVSS, was set to an optimization constraint. Many researches that were similar to this study had been conducted, however most of them had limitation that interaction between airbag and safety belt had not been considered. Contrary to these researches, the interaction was considered in this study.
