지금까지 재 제조에 필요한 자동차 중고부품은 주로 정비업체에서 회수하여 사용하였으나, 회수체계가 정비되어 있지 않아 자동차 중고부품 수집에 많은 시간과 경비가 소요되었으며, 폐차업체에서 생산되는 많은 자동차 중고부품은 재 제조에 활용되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 시스템은 폐차장, 정비업체 등에서 자동차 중고부품 정보를 입력하고, 재 제조업체에서는 이들 정보를 이용하여 재 제조에 필요한 자동차 중고부품을 회수할 수 있게 함으로써 자동차 중고부품 회수체계를 확립하고 자동차 중고부품의 안정적 수급 방안을 마련할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 본 시스템은 자동차 부품 재 제조에 필요한 자동차 중고부품을 수집 관리하기 위한 물류정보시스템으로 DISRMPA(Distribution Information System for Recovery and Management of used Parts of an Automobile)라고 부른다.

This paper deals with demand forecasting of parts in an automobile model which has been extinct. It is important to estimate how much inventory of each part in the extinct model should be stocked because production lines of some parts may be replaced by new ones although there is still demands for the model. Furthermore, in some countries, there is a strong regulation that the automobile manufacturing company should provide customers with auto parts for several years whenever they are requested. The major characteristic of automobile parts demand forecasting is that there exists a close correlation between the number of running cars and the demand of each part. In this sense, the total demand of each part in a year is determined by two factors, the total number of running cars in that year and the failure rate of the part. The total number of running cars in year k can be estimated sequentially by the amount of shipped cars and proportion of discarded cars in years 1, 2,$\cdots$, i. However, it is very difficult to estimate the failure rate of each part because available inter-failure time data is not complete. The failure rate is, therefore, determined so as to minimize the mean squared error between the estimated demand and the observed demand of a part in years 1, 2,$\cdots$, i. In this paper, data obtained from a Korean automobile manufacturing company are used to illustrate our model.

In this paper, we introduce an ubiWarehouse system for the management of automobile parts. Because automotive parts are very various in kinds according to companies, models and manufacture year, it's hard to find exactly the desired parts and to control goods in stock. To solve this problem, we propose the model of context recognizer in which context data are expressed in a systematic type of 5W1H. And initial context data are grouped and integrated, and some conflict context information is solved. Finally user's intention is interpreted and served. As a result, the proposed system can be used to enhance conveniency and correctness of the management of various kinds of part's.

Development of vision system as a nondestructive evaluation system can be very useful in screening the defective mechanical parts before they are assembled into the final product. Since the tens of thousands of the mechanical parts are used in an automobile carefully inspecting the quality of the mechanical parts is very important to maximize the performance of the automobile. To sort out the defective mechanical parts before they are assembled, auto parts fabrication companies employ various inspection systems. Nondestructive evaluation systems are getting rapidly popular among various inspection systems. In this study, we have developed a vision system to inspect the inside of the brake caliper, a part that is used to compose a brake which is the most important to the safety of the drivers and the passengers. In a brake caliper, a piston is pushed against the brake disk by oil pressure, causing a friction to damp the rotation of the wheel. Inside the caliper, a groove is positioned to adopt an oil seal to prevent the oil leaks. Inspecting the groove with our vision system, we could examine the existence of the contaminants which are normally the residual tiny pieces from the machining process. We used a high resolution GigE camera, 360 degree lens to look in the inside view of the caliper at once, and a special illumination system in this vision system. We used the edge detection technique to successfully detect the contaminants which were in the form of small metal chips. Labview graphical program was used to process the digital data from the camera and to display the vision and the statistics of the contaminants. We were very successful in detecting the contaminants from the various size calipers. We think we are ready to employ this vision system to the caliper production factories.

With the recent increase in the demand for electric vehicles, it is necessary to identify the high current safety of automobile parts. Among the automobile parts, the EPDM parts required colored parts from the existing black; therefore, it was necessary to change the basic filler from carbon black to silica. The rubber used in automobile parts is flexible and exhibits basic characteristics of high strength and elongation. However, as the filler is changed to silica, its physical properties, such as tensile strength and elongation, are lower than those of the existing carbon black base. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the mechanical properties with the addition of the EPDM compound using silica as a base without degrading the physical properties of EPDM. In this study, an experiment based on the additive content was performed using the mixture experimental planning method to analyze the mechanical properties according to the additive type and mixing ratio of silica-based EPDM. The mixing ratio of the four additives was set using a simplex lattice design, and the tensile strength, elongation, modulus 300%, and permanent compression reduction rate were analyzed for mechanical characteristics, and rheometer experiments were performed for vulcanization characteristics. Through statistical analysis of the measured data, the main effects and interactions of the EPDM-blended rubber additives were analyzed. These results can be used to derive a mixing ratio of additives that satisfies the required characteristics of the EPDM compound.

This study suggests an approach for determining fleet size for LTL (less -than-truckload) transportation with dynamic demand for on-time supply of the parts between the assembly line in an automobile company and its part suppliers in Korea. The vehicles operated by the transportation trucking companies in Korea in general can be classified into three types depending on the ways how their expenses occur; company -owned truck, mandated truck which is owned by outsider who entrusts the company with its operation, and rented truck (outsourcing) . With the forecasted monthly production data a year, a heuristic algorithm is developed to determine the number of company-owned trucks, mandated trucks, and rented trucks in order to minimize the expected annual operating cost, which is based on the solution technologies used in the aggregate production planning and vehicle routing problem. Finally the algorithm is tested for the problem how the trucking company transports parts for the automobile company.

Recently to develop an automobile with better prosperities, many researches and investments have been executed. In this paper we intend to improve the automobile properties by reducing the weights of the engine without changing the dynamic characteristics. At first we perform the vibration analysis by the Substructure Synthesis Method and execute the exciting test for the engine model, and observe the coincidences of two results to confirm the reliability of the analyzing tools used. The weight minimization is performed by the Sensitivities of the Natural frequencies of the engine block. To decrease the engine weight ideally, the parts of the sensitivity zero are to be cut mainly, and the changing quantity of natural frequency by the cut is to be recovered by the structural modification for the parts with the good sensitivity. But, as actually the mathematical solution for the homogeneous problem(i.e. 0 object function) do not exist, we hereby redesign the block with much thinner thickness and recover the natural frequencies and natural modes to original structure's by the sensitivity analysis. And the Frequency Response Functions(FRF) are to be observed for the interesting points. In this analysis, the original thickness of the engine model has 8 mm of thickness, and the thickness redesigned is 5 mm and 6 mm. And we are to try to recover the 1, 2, 4, and 5 lower natural frequencies interested.

Air flow of inside automobile HVAC module has been visualized using a high-resolution PIV technique with varying the temperature operation mode. The PIV system consists of a 2-head Nd:YAG laser(125 mJ), a high-resolution CCD camera(2K x 2K), optics and a synchronizer. A real automobile HVAC module was used directly with slight modification for clear optical windows. Some parts of the HVAC module casing were replaced with transparent windows for capturing flow images with laser light sheet beam illumination. Time-averaged velocity field were measured in three temperature control modes. Flow characteristics of the air-conditioned air flow in the automobile HVAC system were evaluated.
