In this paper, we propose waste collection vehicle system with a safety device for worker safety and an autonomous driving function. The steering system is applied as MDPS (Motor Drive Power Steering) system to control the waste collection vehicle of the internal combustion engine. Safety-related errors is prevented through redundancy brake of the integrated system and the control braking system. In order to ensure safety between workers and waste collection vehicles, work guidelines and safety devices for emergency stop in case of danger are applied to vehicles. In addition, this research is conducted on improving the working efficiency through vehicle condition monitoring system and a short-range control system for field test. This research is aimed to secure stability through demonstration and contribute to the industrialization of unmanned waste collection vehicles.

폐기물 환경 시설에서 폐기물 운반 차량의 폐기물 매립장 내 이동 경로와 폐기물 투척 위치를 추적하여 기록함으로써 향 후 폐기물 매립지 재사용을 위한 이력관리를 효율적으로 진행할 수 있다. 이들 폐기물 매립 위치 정보들을 3D 로 매핑하고 위치를 추출하여 최종 매립위치와 매립물 기록을 추출하기 위한 새로운 연구 방법이 다양한 실험조건하에서 구현되었다. 본 연구에서는 쓰레기 매립장 내에서의 차량의 이동경로와 매립시점을 판단할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 현재의 영상과 배경영상의 차를 구하여 차량의 이동경로를 추적하고 이동경로의 형태로부터 정차 여부를 판단할 수 있으며, 정차시의 영상과 배출구의 개방영상과의 비교를 통해 폐기물의 매립시점을 검출할 수 있도록 한다. 감시 카메라의 설치정보를 이용하며 매립지 평면상의 좌표와 화면좌표를 변환할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다.

본 연구는 공공성을 지닌 편익 서비스로 인식되고 있는 쓰레기 수거 서비스를 보다 효율적으로 공급하기 위해서 쓰레기 수거권역을 설정하고 설정된 권역내에서 수거차량의 순회경로계획을 분석하는데 목적을 두었다. 본 연구에서는 합리적이고 보다 과학적인 쓰레기의 수거체계를 수립하기 위해 가장 기본적인 자료가 되는 쓰레기 배출지점별 배출량을 추정하고, 쓰레기 수집구역을 구축하였다. 이를 토대로 하여 지역분할방법을 이용하여 수거권역을 설정하였고, 쓰레기를 수거하는 차량의 순회결로를 효율적으로 계획할 수 있는 경로선정 방법도 도입하였다. GIS를 기반으로 하는 수거권역의 설정은 행정동별로 이루어지고 있는 수거업무를 보다 효율적으로 수행할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 경로선정방법을 도입할 경우 공차회송비용을 줄이면서 최소의 비용으로 경로계획의 수립이 가능함을 보여주었다. E따라서 쓰레기 수거서비스 체계를 구축하는데 있어서 GIS를 기반으로 하는 지역분할방법과 경로선정방법을 도입한다면 보다 신속하고 효율적으로 서비스를 제공하는데 필요한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

Mining, construction, and other special vehicles for heavy use are designed to work under high-performance and off-road working conditions. The driving and executive mechanisms of the support structures and superstructures of these vehicles frequently operate under high loads. Such high loads place the equipment under constant risk of an accident and can jeopardize the dynamic stability of the machinery. An experimental investigation was conducted on a refuse collection vehicle. The aim of this research was to determine the working conditions of a real vehicle: the kinematics of the waste container, that is, a hydraulic rotate drum for waste collection; the dynamics of the load manipulator (superstructure); the vibrations of the vehicle mass; and the strain (stress) of the elements responsible for the supporting structure. For an examination of the force (weight) on the rear axle of a heavy vehicle, caused by its own weight and additional load, a universal measurement system is proposed. As a result of this investigation, we propose an alternative system for continuous vehicle weighing during waste collection while in motion, that is, an on-board weighing system, and provide suggestions for measuring equipment designs.

An electric vehicle is an environment-friendly automobile which does not emit any tailpipe pollutant. In a conventional vehicle with an internal combustion engine, the internal cabin of the vehicle is usually heated using waste heat from the engine. However, for an electric vehicle, an alternative solution for heating is required because it does not have a combustion engine. Recently, a heat pump system which is widely used for residential heating due to its higher efficiency has been studied for its use as a heating system in electric vehicles. In this study, a heat pump system utilizing air source and waste heat source from electric devices was investigated experimentally. The performance of the heat pump system was measured by varying the mass flow rate ratio. The experimental results show that the heating capacity and COP in the dual heat source heat pump were increased by 20.9% and 8.6%, respectively, from those of the air-source heat pump.

전기자동차에 사용되는 배터리는 전기자동차의 특성상 정격용량이 매우 커다란 배터리이다. 전기자동차를 장기간 운행하거나 교통사고로 전기자동차가 폐차되게 되면 전기자동차용 배터리는 폐배터리가 된다. 폐차되는 차량이더라도 전기자동차용 폐배터리에 남아 있는 용량은 다른 용도로 사용하기에 충분하다. 자동차용 폐배터리는 매우 고가이기때문에 재활용 및 재사용이 필요하지만 재활용 및 재사용을 위한 폐배터리 성능등급 측정기준이 부족한 문제가 있었다. 폐배터리의 잔존용량을 측정하는 방법으로 가장 안정적이고 신뢰할 수 있는 방법은 완전 충·방전을 이용하여 배터리의 잔존용량을 측정하는 것이다. 하지만 이러한 완전 충·방전에 방식에 의한 검사 방법은 배터리의 용량에 따라 다르지만 검사하는데 하루 이상이 걸리는 단점을 가지고 있으며 많은 사람들이 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 많은 노력을 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전기자동차 배터리에 대한 검사 시간을 줄일 수 있는 방법으로 셀간 전압 편차를 활용한 전기자동차 배터리 잔존용량 분석 기법을 연구 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 완전 충·방전 기반의 용량 측정시스템을 구성하고 코나 폐배터리를 이용하여 실험데이터를 수집하였고 배터리 팩을 구성하고 있는 배터리 셀간 전압 편차와 잔존용량과의 상관관계를 분석하여 배터리 검사에 활용할 수 있는지를 검증하였다.

About 70% of energy input to internal combustion engine is rejected to atmosphere by heat. By utilizing this waste heat, a plenty of energy can be conserved in nationwide. One of possible ways is the thermoelectric generation to utilize engine's waste heat to provide auxiliary electric power. Under th is concept, we have been developing the thermoelectric generation system to replace the alternator by converting the waste heat in the engine's exhaust directly to electricity This system may reduce the shaft horse power of the engine, then improves the vehicle fuel economy and the exhaust emissions. In the present study, the characteristics of the electric energy and exhaust heal energy in city and highway mode driving conditions are analysed by using a gasoline passenger car. These results would be used to determine the optimum design parameters of the thermoelectric generation system.

The recent interests in securing alternative resource have increased due to environmental issues and exhaustion of natural resources. The government notices production of recycled aggregate using waste concrete as the substitute of the natural aggregate. However, It's important to reduce environmental burden being inevitably made in the process producing recycled aggregate. In this study, the scenarios of transportation distance were set in the transportation phase of production of recycled aggregate. In addition, The possibility of emissions and reduction of carbon dioxide were studied depending on the scenarios. For this study, data about a amount of waste concrete, transportation distance, kind of vehicle, the number of required vehicle, fuel efficiency of vehicle and etc were gathered from 15 companies of intermediate treatment and 60 constructions sites located in Daegu city and Kyungpook area. Based on those data, fuel consumptions and $CO_2$ emissions according to the transportation scheme of waste concrete were calculated. As a result of the study, the emission of carbon dioxide was possible to be reduced by 27.8~75.4% depending on the scenarios of transportation distance.

Solid waste management (SWM) is one of the poorly rendered services in developing countries - limited resources, increasing population, rapid urbanization and application of outdated systems leads to inefficiency. Lack of proper planning and inadequate data regarding solid waste generation and collection compound the SWM problem. Decision makers need to formulate solutions that consider multiple goals and strategies. Given the large number of available options for SWM and the inter-relationships among these options, identifying SWM strategies that satisfy economic or environmental objectives is a complex task. The paper develops a mathematical model for a municipal Integrated SWM system, taking into account waste generation rates, composition, transportation modes, processing techniques, revenues from waste processing, simulating waste management as closely as possible. The constraints include those linking waste flows and mass balance, processing plants capacity, landfill capacity, transport vehicle capacity and number of trips. The linear programming model integrating different functional elements was solved by LINGO optimization software and various possible waste management options were considered during analysis. The model thus serves as decision support tool to evaluate various waste management alternatives and obtain the least-cost combination of technologies for handling, treatment and disposal of solid waste.
