The ride quality of agricultural tractor seats is evaluated based on the vibration of the human bodies. Tractor ride vibration levels have been measured at the person-seat interface along 7 axes(3 translational axes at the feet, 3 translational axes on a seat surface and 1 axis at the seat back), under different operating conditions. Since one of the most important parameters for ride comfort is the level and duration of the root mean square acceleration experienced, the ride values, such as the seat effective amplitude transmissibility, the component ride value, and the overall ride value based on acceleration root mean square are evaluated for a conventional tractor using frequency weighting functions and axis multiplying factors. The ride indices are also studied considering to the variation of vehicle speed and road profile.

교량(橋梁)의 동적응답(動的應答)을 파악하기 위해서는 노면(路面)조도에 의해 영향을 받는 차량의 거동 파악이 중요하게 된다. 최근, 교량의 상판(床版)등에서 발생되는 피로(疲勞)의 영향에 대한 관심이 고조되어 서서히 교통진동의 3차원 모델링에 대한 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 교량에 발생되는 교통진동(交通振動)의 영향을 좀더 정확히 표현하기 위하여 3차원 해석 방법을 제시한다. 해석방법으로 유한 요소법이 이용되었고, 차량 모델링은 하나의 전축(煎軸)과 두 개의 후축(後軸)을 갖는 8자유도계(自由度系) 차량 모델을 이용하여 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 동적(動的) 연립미분방정식(聯立微分方程式)의 해법에서는 Newmark-${\beta}$법(法)을 이용하였고, 가상 노면요철(凹凸)모델링에서는 정상불규칙과정(定常不規則過程)으로 가정하여 노면 요철(凹凸)을 생성하여 시뮬레이션에 사용하였다. 또한 실제 차량 및 교량에서의 실측치와 비교하여 모델의 검증을 수행하였다.

This paper presents a comparison among three types of approaches to an ARC (Active Roll Control) with an AARB(Active Anti-Roll Bar) for a vehicle system. Lateral acceleration and road profile are considered as disturbance. The ARC is designed with an LQ SOF (Linear Quadratic Static Output Feedback) control, $H_{\infty}$ control and SMC (Sliding Mode Control). These approaches are compared in terms of rollover prevention and ride comfort. For comparison, Bode plot analysis based on linear model and frequency response analysis based on CarSim simulation are performed.

Streetscape plays on important role in urban cities. Characteristics of streets is basically defined by the building facade, signs, plants and paving during the daytime. However at night, street receives a new appearance due to the shop light from the buildings, exterior lightings, signboards and street light, and it creates most of the image of the streets. This study aims to analyze the luminous environment and its subjective image of two different pedestrian's commercial streets. Insa-dong street and Myungdong street were chosen for the study. Horizontal illuminance and luminance on building surface, advertisement billboards and pedestrian road were measured. Thirty students were asked to rate the five scaled questionnaire on their subjective images of the streets. Statistical analysis including profile, correlation and T-test are conducted and some findings are discussed

This study deals with the design of snow plow for the special equipment vehicle. The purpose of the study is to develop the snow plow that can install in the special equipment vehicle such as clean up vehicle or dump truck in winter season. To do so, it is designed by 3 sub-assembly - snow shovel, main frame, and hydraulic cylinder and its support. The snow shovel consists of 3 pieces to meet the road profile and to exchange easily the damaged parts. Main frame connects the snow shovel with the hydraulic cylinder and its support and supports the weight of snow. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder and its support move the snow shovel up and down and tilt it. We designed it using 3D commercial CAD software for concurrent engineering design.

Eco-driving technique for electric vehicles (EVs) is investigated in this paper. Many findings on EVs have been reported; however, they did not deal with eco-driving from the viewpoint of theoretical study. The authors have developed an energy-saving driving technique - the so-called "eco-driving" technique based on dynamic programming (DP). Optimal speed profile of an EV, which minimizes the amount of total energy consumption, was determined under fixed origin and destination, running time, and track conditions. DP algorithm can deal with such complicated conditions and can also derive the optimal solution. Using the proposed method, simulations were run for some cases. In particular, the author ran simulations for the case of a gradient road with a traffic signal. The optimization model was solved with MATLAB.

Though many have studied choosing one of the alternative ways to reach a destination, the factors such as average road speed, distance, and number of traffic signals, traffic congestion, safety, and services still presents an indisputable challenge. This paper proposes two approaches: Appropriate membership function and ambiguous rule-based approach. It aims to tackle the route choice problem faced by almost all drivers in any city. It indirectly helps in tackling the problem of traffic congestion. The proposed approach considers the preference of each driver which is determined in a flexible way like a human and stored in the driver profile. These preferences relate to the criteria for evaluating each candidate route, considering the average speed, distance, safety, and services available. An illustrative case study demonstrates the added value of the proposed approach compared to some other approaches.

Wetlandsis developing on the lava plateau in Eundae-ri, even though there are no majorstreams into this area. As a result of drilling, 1~2m clay layer is founded under the superficial formations of the wetland, which are the main reasons for formation of the wetlands by limiting vertical drainage. The clay layer's Granulometry/XRD show very different characteristics from in situ weathering of basalt, and since 2~3cm of sand layer exist within the profile, the clay layer seems to be supplied and deposited from outside through surface/sheet flows. To keep the wetlands sustainably, the supply of water into the wetlands has to be increased by restoring the surface/sheet flow which is limited or deformed by pavement road.

In this paper we propose a new perspective for explaining galaxy rotation curves. We conjecture that there is a gravitational moment of inertia which, together with gravitational mass, contributes to the gravitational potential. We substantiate a formula for the potential created by the moment of inertia. We validate our model by computing orbital rotation velocities for several galaxies and showing that computed rotation velocities correspond to the observed ones. Our proposed approach is capable of accounting for constant gas velocities outside of a galactic disc without relying on the dark matter hypothesis. Furthermore, it addresses several problems faced by the application of the dark matter hypothesis, e.g., the absence of inward collapse of dark matter into a galaxy, the spherical distribution of dark matter around galaxies, and absence of traces of the effect of dark matter in two ultra-diffuse galaxies, NGC 1052-DF2, and NGC 1052-DF4.

In this study, dynamic analysis of a passenger car is carried out to analyze ride quality over a random road profile. The front suspension of the car is a MacPherson strut type and the rear suspension is a multi- link type. The following five different models are constructed and compared to see the effects of engine vibration and chassis flexibility in the ride quality. (1) one rigid chassis model, (2) a rigid chassis and rigid engine model, (3) a rigid engine and flexible chassis model with one vibration mode, (4) one flexible chassis model with six engine vibration modes and one chassis vibration mode, (5) one flexible chassis model with seven vibration modes and four static correction modes. The result shows that engine vibration modes and the first bending mode of the chassis are important in the ride quality.
