Generally, the commercial truck has the hydraulic cab tilting system which absorb the vibrations and impacts of the cab. The cab tilting system is equipped for the maintenance and inspection of truck. And it is very important to help user's feeling of driving and convenience. But when the truck cab is tilted, existing model has serious problem of vibration. To satisfy customer's requirements for convenience, it is necessary to improve the hydraulic truck cab tilting system. In this study, the optimization of cab tilting system is carried out by using the G.A to reduce the vibration. The results show that the vibration is reduced and the mean velocity of tilting is improved. In conclusion the improved cab tilting system can be designed and the possibility of optimal design for cab tilting system by using the GA is testified.

In this paper, the improvement of cap tilting system in heavy truck and the development of program for automatic design are discussed. Cab tilting system takes some important roles in heavy truck, absorbing discomfort vibration from load, increasing repair efficiency and making sure of safety. Common manual cab tilting system cannot be easily tilt up in sloped road, giving difficulty to driver as cal tilting up/down. So recently hydraulic cab tilting system is in wide use. But some problem such as tilting up/down speed is not constant and sudden swing of cab has brought discredit from user. Therefore, this paper presents advanced cab tilting system which prevents sudden swing of cab and development of program for selecting design parameters automatically.

In this paper, the development of exclusive control valve for improving the performance of truck cab tilting system is discussed. Cab tilting system is implemented to the heavy truck for the convenience of driver. However when tilting up or down, sudden swing of cab has brought discredit on user. To improve this phenomena it is inevitable to use counter balance valve. But because of high pressure and low flow characteristic, general counter balance valve is unsuitable to cab tilting system. Therefore, this paper presents the developments of exclusive return pressure control valve which prevents sudden swing of cab and verify the validity of design through the computer simulation.

Currently, the marketable truck has the cab tilting system which highly absorb the vibrations and impacts of cab. The cab tilting system is equipped with the hydraulic system for maintenance and inspection of truck. And it is very important to improve the user's feeling of driving and convenience. To have the better performance, it is important to confirm the dynamic characteristics of each parts of the system. In this study, a mathematical model of the system was derived and the parameters in the model were identified from experimental data. The results of the simulation were compared with those of experiments. These results of the computer simulation and experiments show that the proposed analysis can be applied effectively to design the system. Our results can be utilized for the future research to improve the capability of the truck cab tilting system.
