  • The objective of this study is to developed the refrigeration vehicle system installed eutectic olu-tion plates which consists of copper tubes carrying the refrigerant between two aluminum plates and the space between the plates filled with eutectic solution. The numerical analysis for the loca-tion of plates to get the uniform low temperature distribution in storage space was carried out and the result showed that the top left-side and right-side walls were the proper places to install plates. For three different concentrations of ethylene glycol solution the temperature distribution of inside space were measured during the day time of summer and the 21% solution was found to be properto sustain the temperature of $5-10^{\circ}C$ for milk transportation. The result showed that the refrigeration truck installed eutectic plates was very efficient to keep the milk fresh during vehicle transportation.

  • The overall concept of the interior space on a vehicle, which is related to the exterior design presents a new turning point at the body design concept on a vehicle and it means the interior space on a vehicle has the largest portion. The concept of the roominess at the interior space is consisted on many physical dimensions for the comfort of passengers, but these elements should be considered also as the result of the dynamic reflections of the characteristics of market demand, and it is not only to designate the physical dimensions and positions of the interior design elements, but also to influence to the total body shape of the vehicle. These days the concept of the interior space is now on the way of changing which is not limited only to the passenger car. The change is more evident especially at the total body shape which is not only the details of the exterior style and it would expend to other type of vehicles.

  • A space launch vehicle departs the ground in a low speed, soon reaches a transonic and a supersonic speed, and then flies in a hypersonic speed into the space. Therefore, the design of a launch vehicle should include the prediction of aerodynamic characteristics for all speed regimes, ranging from subsonic to hypersonic speed. Generally, Empirical and analytical methods and wind tunnel tests are used for the prediction of aerodynamic characteristics. This research presents considerable factors for aerodynamic analysis of a launch vehicle using CFD. This investigation was conducted to determine effects of wake over the base section on the aerodynamic characteristics of a launch vehicle and also performed to determine effects of the sting which exist to support wind tunnel test model.

  • In this paper, unmanned vehicle system and VFF algorithm development with vehicle dynamics is the main topic as a part of Intelligent Transportation System. Unmanned vehicle system is classified by vehicle system and control system. Authors used RC servo motor for longitudinal control via throttle angle, shift lever control, and brake control. For lateral control, authors used step motor, equipped with reduction gear. Unmanned vehicle has nine ultrasonic sensors in front of the unmanned vehicle. After the microcontroller computes the distance between unmanned vehicle and obstacle, the control computer calculates the steering angle enough to avoid the obstacle.

  • Future space missions will have larger telescopes in order to look deeper into space while improvising on spatial resolution. The primary mirrors for these telescopes will be so large that using a monolithic mirror will be nearly impossible because of the difficulties associated with its fabrication, transportation, and installation on a launch vehicle. The feasibility of launching these huge mirrors is limited because of their small launch fairing diameter. The aerodynamic shape of the fairing requires a small diameter, but the height of the launch vehicle, which is available for designers to utilize, is larger than the fairing diameter. This paper presents the development of an axial deployment mechanism based on the screw jack principle. The mechanism was designed and developed, and a prototype was constructed in order to demonstrate a lab model.

  • Recently, parking problems for an autonomous vehicle have attracted a great deal of attention and have been examined in many papers in the literature. In this paper we design a fuzzy logic based parking system at the slant parking space which is a important part for designing a autonomous parking system. We first design an optimal parking path for the slant space and present the simulation results of the fuzzy logic based parking system.

  • In order to remove the whine noise which has high frequency spectrum related to the uniform tinning space in concrete pavements, randomization study of the tinning space has been done. One of the random tinning space proposed by the authors in the previous study has been applied to the certain region of tile Daegu-Pohang high way construction. In this study, the vehicle interior noise and vibration have been measured in the proposed random tinning road and compared with the data measured in the uniform tinning road. The results show that the magnitude of the peak spectrum is decreased by 18dB(A), and the overall noize level decreased by 4dB(A).

  • Tracking systems for launch vehicle consist mainly of radar transponder (beacon), RF switch or power divider, antennas as onboard system, and single or multiple radars as ground one. In this paper, tracking systems, which are applicable to KSLV (Korea Space Launch Vehicle)-l, are introduced and the electrical performances for developed prototypes are presented. We have also performed RF link analysis for both uplink and downlink, and estimated that the maximum distance to be able to track KSLV-l stably is dependent on uplink characteristic in our system.

  • In a previous study, an investigation of occupant behaviors and injuries (to the head and chest) was performed during vehicle impact loading cases in order to ensure the safety of wheelchair passengers on a bus. The computational results showed overall safety tolerances of wheelchair occupants under different accident configurations. The bus crashworthiness is described as the capability of a bus to protect occupants during rollover loadings. The residual space containing occupants should be undamaged without any intrusions. However it is necessary to evaluate the residual space according to the bus occupant kinematic analysis under the rollover crash simulation. This study focuses on the evaluation of occupant behaviors during rollover loading cases in order to ensure the safety of bus passengers sitting in general seats and wheelchairs and evaluates the residual space of the bus by analyzing the bus occupant kinematics.

  • Driver acceptance of autonomous driving is very important. The autonomous driving longitudinal controller, which is one of the factors affecting acceptability, consists of a high-level controller and a low-level controller. The host controller decides the cruise control and the space control according to the situation and creates the required target speed. The sub-controller performs control by creating an acceleration signal to follow the target speed. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve the inter-vehicle distance fluctuations that occur in the cruise control and space control switching problems in the host controller. The proposed method is to add an approach algorithm to the cruise control at the time of switching from cruise control to space control so that it is switched to space control at the correct switching distance. Through this, the error was improved from 12m error to 4m, and actual vehicle verification was performed.
