  • Agricultural tractors are utilized on rough road such as rice paddy field. Therefore, static and dynamic load should be considered when simulating structural analysis with finite element analysis (FEA). But it consumes a lot of time and effort to measure dynamic load because of difficulty and complexity in modeling various field working load conditions and kinematics of machinery. In this paper, to reduce the efforts, 4-post road simulator is developed for agricultural tractor like modeling commercial vehicle. In proving ground test in our facility, I measured acceleration of front/rare axle and strain of body frame to validate input loads. The acceleration is used for defining input loads. And strain is validated with dynamics analysis including mode superposition method. As a result, I was able to calculate 4-post input road profiles, which represent similar proving ground profile with good reliability.

  • This study develops the tire/pavement noise measuring trailer that can minimize the effect of various environmental noise and evaluate road noise characteristics without regard to time and spots. As literature reviews, it is examined into road noise characteristics and case studies of various CPX Trailer, and made a development plan of device. Based on these, HEART CPX Trailer is developed and conduct experiments for verification of the semi-anechoic chamber suitability, precision and field application of device. In the result of the experiment for verification of semi-anechoic chamber suitability, we can make sure that it is suitable and reliable among frequency bands. In the test of repetition measurement, we can verify excellent measurement accuracy among speeds and microphone's locations. In case of field tests using HEART CPX Trailer, it is founded that the result is similar to CPB test result carried out by Chung-Ang university in 2003. It can be concluded caused that the effect of environmental noise in and around the road including mechanical noise of a tow car was excluded. This paper confirmed and suggested that HEART CPX Trailer is suitable for evaluation of real road noise characteristics.

  • Due to the character of the climate of Korea, the pavement of a road is Influenced by freezing in winter season and thawing in thawing season. In the last few years, several articles have been devoted to the study to minimize the damage of freezing and thawing action. The purpose of this paper is to identify appropriacy of factors that influence road pavement thickness. We conduct the decision tree analysis on the field data of road pavement. The target variable is 'Frost penetration'. This value was calculated from the temperature data. The input variables are 'Region', 'Type of road pavement', 'Anti-frost layer', 'Month' and 'Air temperature'. The region was divided into 9 regions by freezing index $350{\sim}450^{\circ}C{\cdot}day$, $450{\sim}550^{\circ}C{\cdot}day$, $550{\sim}650^{\circ}C{\cdot}day$. The type of road pavement has three-section such as area of cutting, boundary area of cutting and bankin, lower area of banking. As the result, the variables that influence 'Frost penetration' are Month, followed by anti-frost layer, air temperature and region.
