To reduce fuel consumption, research on the weight reduction of vehicles is being actively carried out. Researchers have typically tried to replace metal materials with composites materials, but these materials did not satisfy the required strength and rigidity of a vehicle. Composites are usually not used because of their high cost. There are incomplete studies on lightweight trucks that transport cargo. Therefore, in this paper, we enhance the lightness and mechanical strength through design optimization of the deck frame for a lightweight truck. For that purpose, the side member and cross member, which are mounted on the lower part of the truck to assure the safety of the vehicle and support the luggage load, were targeted. The result of numerical analysis on the safety of the frame was obtained by changing the shape of each cross-section. To verify the numerical analysis, we compared it with the theoretical value of a cantilever beam. As a result, the suitability of the cross-sectional shapes of each frame was confirmed through numerical analysis.

Purpose: Majority of bridges and roads in Gangwon Province have been carrying loads associated with heavy materials such as rocks, mining products, and cement. This location-specific live loads have contributed to the present situation of overloading, compared to other provinces in Korea. However, the bridges in Gangwon province are designed by national bridge design specification, without considering the location-specific live load characteristics. Therefore, this study focuses on the real traffic data accumulated on regional weighing station to verify the live load characteristics, including actual live load gross vehicle weight, axle weight axle spacings, and number of trucks. Methods: In order to take into account the location specific live load, a governmental weigh station (38th national highway Miro) have been selected and the passing truck data are processed. Based on the truck survey, trucks are categorized into 3 different shapes, and each shape has been idealized into normal distribution. Then, the resulting survey data are processed to predict the target maximum live load values, including the axle loads and gross vehicle weights in 75 years service life span. Results: The results are compared to the nationally used DB-24 live loads, and the results show that nationally recognized DB-24 live load does not sufficiently represent real traffic in mountaineous region in Gangwon province. Conclusion: The comparison results in the recommendation of location-specific live load that should be taken into account for bridge design and evaluation.

This paper introduces a container loading problem and proposes a theoretical approach that efficiently solves it. The problem is to determine a proper weight of products loaded on a container that is delivered by third party logistics (3PL) providers. When the company pre-loads products into a container, typically one or two days in advance of its delivery date, various truck weights of 3PL providers and unpredictability of the randomness make it difficult for the company to meet the total weight regulation. Such a randomness is mainly due to physical difference of trucks, fuel level, and personalized equipment/belongings, etc. This paper provides a theoretical methodology that uses historical shipping data to deal with the randomness. The problem is formulated as a stochastic optimization where the truck randomness is reflected by a theoretical distribution. The data analytics solution of the problem is derived, which can be easily applied in practice. Experiments using practical data reveal that the suggested approach results in a significant cost reduction, compared to a simple average heuristic method. This study provides new aspects of the container loading problem and the efficient solving approach, which can be widely applied in diverse industries using 3PL providers.

덤프 트럭 데크의 경량화를 통한 연료 소비를 줄이고 에코 친화적인 설계를 위해서는 정확한 구조 분석이 필요하다. 지금까지 데크의 하중은 정수압 또는 토압 이론을 기반으로 계산되었다. 이 방법으로 데크의 하중 불균일을 계산할 수 없다. 하중 분포는 골재 입자의 크기 분포 및 상호 작용에 따라 달라진다. 이산요소법은 유한요소법보다 효과적으로 골재의 거동을 시뮬레이션할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 벌크 밀도와 안식각을 측정하여 주요 특성을 얻었다. 15톤 덤프 트럭 데크는 범핑, 브레이킹 및 회전 시의 운동 조건을 적용하여 얻은 하중을 사용했다. 시뮬레이션은 이산요소해석 소프트웨어인 EDEM을 사용했다. 데크의 응력 및 변형 분포는 NASTRAN에 의해 계산되었다. 측정된 값과 비교하였고, 이를 통해 DEM 시뮬레이션의 결과는 수학적 가정에 의한 결과보다 정확함을 확인하였다.

This paper develops a computational model for estimating the ride quality of a cabover type large-sized truck in a double wheel bumpy ride test. The computational model is developed using ADAMS. To verify the developed model, an actual vehicle double wheel bumpy ride test is performed. In the test, the vehicle maintains a straight course with a constant velocity such that the front two wheels are passed the bump at the same time. The bump has the height of 60mm, and the width of 550mm. In the test, four velocities are used. They are 10kph, 20kph, 30kph and 40kph. Since the large-sized truck's center of gravity location is high, and its weight is heavy, it is a quite severe test condition to perform the test with more than 30kph velocity. In the test, vertical accelerations on the floor of the cab are measured. The measured accelerations are compared to the simulation results. From the comparison, it is shown that the developed model can predict not only the measured acceleration's tendency but also peak accelerations quite well. In this paper, the validated model is utilized to compare the ride quality between a vehicle with a multi-leaf spring and a vehicle with a tapered leaf spring in the front suspension system in a double bumpy ride test.

A diesel forklift truck under 3-ton class has disadvantages in the vibration transmission path. Because the weight ratio of body structure to powertrain which is source of excitation force is lower th an a mid-class forklift. In addition, the torsional and bending vibration mode frequencies of body structure are within the engine excitation frequency range, then high idle vibration generated by resonance. In this paper vehicle body structure design and optimization technique considering idle vibration reduction are presented. Design sensitivity analysis is applied to search the sensitive of design parameters in body structure. The design parameters such as thickness and pillar cross section were optimized to increase the torsional and bending vibration mode frequencies.

Reliability analysis for a proposed limit state bridge design code is performed. In order to introduce reliability concept to design code, the proposed live load model is based on truck weight survey. Test data of domestic material strengths are collected to model statistical properties of member strengths. Sample RC and PSC girder sections are designed following the safety factor format of the proposed code and compared with the current design practice. Reliability indexes are calculated and examined for material and member resistance factor formats and sample calibrations of safety factors are presented. It is concluded that the proposed code provides reasonable level of reliability compared to the international design standards.

The optimum methods of transport of fresh mackerel caught at korean coast and neighboring sea were investigated. The quality of mackerel after 3 day-stored with ice showed that the freshness were still kept. The temperature fluctuation of mackerel during transport with ice from Busan to Seoul indicated below $5^{\circ}C$, recommended by I.I.R. Heat loss of iced mackerel in transit was calculated and converted into ice weight in case of cargo truck and insulated truck. It was assumed that the semi-dressed mackerels were more effective and economic than the round ones during transport.

There are very large differences on the standards of gross weight and single axle weight for commercial motor vehicles between international and Korean standards. Short Wheelbase Truck are produced and run only in Korea. It has very serious effects on the durabilities of bridges and roads and makes logistic competitive power fall back and overconsuming energy. This paper deals with a comparative study of the international standards with Korean, grasps the drawbacks and makes up the suggestions to strengthen the logistic competitive power of Korea and reduce the maintenance cost for the roads and the consumption of energy.

본 연구에서는 국내 과적차량 단속 대상에서 제외된 소형트럭에 대한 과적 운행 여부를 파악하기 위하여 국도 3개 지점에서 소형트럭의 교통량과 중량 자료를 수집하였다. 그리고 이를 차종별, 요일별, 시간대별로 구분하여 차량 총중량별 과적 분포를 분석하였다. 차종별 분석 결과, 평균적으로 1.5톤 이하 트럭은 6.2%, 2.5톤 이하 트럭은 31.7%, 그리고 3.5톤 이하 트럭은 13.7%의 과적비율로 나타났다. 그리고 동일한 차종에 대하여 수집 지점별로 차이가 나타났고, 소형트럭의 총중량 무게가 적을수록 과적 비율이 높게 나타났다. 요일별 분석 결과, 특정요일에 과적비율이 높게 나타나는 경향은 없었으나 각 지점별로 요일별 예측 가능한 발생 패턴이 있는 것으로 보였다. 그리고 시간대별 분석 결과 모든 지점에서 점심시간 이후 시간(13:00~15:59)대에 과적차량의 비율이 평균적으로 가장 높은 것으로 파악되었다.
