  • Assuming the majority of car accidents are due to driver errors, we due rear-end collisions which occurred in the State of Washington, USA, in 1982, 1983, and 1984, to study human responsible involvement associated with the sex and age of drivers. Rear-end collisions involving two passenger cars are included in this study. The driver of a car which struck the rear end of another car is considered responsible for the accident, and the driver of a car which was struck in the rear end is not considered responsible for the accident. In addition to male and female drivers, we used three different age groups: 16 to 24 years old, 25 to 34 years old, and 35 years or older. Hence, six diferent groups of drivers are considered in this study.

  • The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of blood meal (BM) as a source of histidine, and magnesium oxide (MgO) as a catalyst of carnosine synthetase, on carnosine (L-Car) content in the chicken breast muscle (CBM), laying performance, and egg quality of spent old hens. Four hundred eighty laying hens (Hy-Line$^{(R)}$ Brown), 95wk old, were allotted randomly into five replicates of six dietary treatments: T1; 100% basal diet, T2; 100% basal diet+MgO, T3; 97.5% basal diet+2.5% BM, T4; 97.5% basal diet+2.5% BM+MgO, T5; 95% basal diet+5% BM, T6; 95% basal diet+5% BM+MgO. Magnesium oxide was added at 0.3% of diets. The layers were fed experimental diets for 5wk. There were no significant differences in the weekly L-Car content in CBM among all treatments during the total experimental period, but some of the contrast comparisions showed higher L-Car in CBM of T6. The L-Car contents linearly decreased (p<0.01 or p<0.05) as the layers got older except in T4 (p>0.05). There were significant differences in egg weight (p<0.01) and soft and broken egg ratio (p<0.05). The control (T1) was highest in egg weight and T6 was lowest in soft and broken egg ratio. Among the parameters of egg quality, there were significant differences in eggshell strength (p<0.01) and egg yolk color (p<0.05). Magnesium oxide supplementation increased the eggshell strength and BM tended to decrease egg yolk color. Eggshell color, eggshell thickness, and Haugh unit were not influenced by BM and MgO. In conclusion, BM and MgO did not significantly influence the L-Car in CBM of spent layers. The L-Car content rapidly decreased as the layers became senescent. Eggshell strength was increased by MgO supplementation.

  • 폐자동차 파쇄를 통한 주요구성물질의 분리 및 분석평가를 위한 현장실험을 수행하였다. 모재인 폐자동차 차피로는 국내 자동차 업체에서 제작한 Sonata II, Sephia 및 Prince의 3종을 선택하여 엔진부분과 타이어 및 문짝 등을 미리 제거하고 압축된 상태로 제공받았다. 현장설비의 주요 공정은 pre- 및 main-shredder, 분급기, 자선기, 와류선별기 및 수작업 분리로 구성되어 있었다. shredder 산물의 현장 분리실험결과 철 스크랩이 전체의 60.1%를 차지하여 가장 비중이 높았으며, 알루미늄, 구리 및 아연 등의 비철금속류는 약 2% 정도인 것으로 나타났다. Light fluff는 fluff 전체 중량의 90% 정도를 차지하는 것으로 관찰되었으며, 5cm undersize 가 70.5%로써 대부분이었고 나머지는 플라스틱, 섬유 및 스폰지 등으로 구성되어 있었다 heavy fluff의 경우에는 고무와 플라스틱이 주구성물질인 것으로 나타났으며, 발열량의 경우 플라스틱이 10,000 cal/gr을 상회하여 가장 높았고 가죽과 고무류가 각각 10.3 및 2.55 wt%의 비교적 높은 CI함량을 보였다.

  • Due to the ageing-related degradation in physical and cognitive abilities, the elderly have difficulty in car driving and this is related to the high rate of car accidents among them. This study investigated the kinematic characteristics of old drivers' steering in right turning at intersections by comparing with young drivers. Thirteen old(60~70) and thirteen young(20~30) drivers who participated in the experiment turned their cars right side at intersections in a driving simulator. As results, the completion time of right turning at intersection of old drivers was larger than that of young drivers. The speeds of vehicle at the beginning and ending point of the right turning area of old drivers were smaller than those of young drivers, and also the steering angle at the ending point of the turning area of the former was smaller than that of the latter. The normalized jerk of old driver's steering was significantly larger than that of young drivers. These results indicate that old drivers modify their steering movement repeatedly and take the driving strategy of avoiding risks due to their reduced physical capabilities.

  • Double parking is very common in a parking lot where there is not sufficient parking space. When we double-park a car, we leave transmission gear in neutral position and release the emergency brake so that the double-parked car can be moved just by pushing it. However, moving a double-parked car by pushing is very hard and dangerous especially for the old and the weak. So, we propose an omni-directional mobile robot for moving a double-parked car easily and safely. The developed omni-directional mobile robot moves a double-parked car by rotating a wheel of a double-parked car. It has two specially designed rollers to rotate a wheel of a double-parked car and is designed so that the height of the robot is very low to be able to enter beneath a double-parked car. It can move a double-parked car safely by detecting obstacles in the way with five ultrasonic sensors. We verified by several experiments that the developed omni-directional mobile robot can be used to move a double-parked car easily and safely.

  • Low Floor buses have no steps to get on or get off the main cabin to provide the old and the handicapped with easy access. The car body for the low floor bus was designed to consider Korean physical standard, passenger capacity (standee, seated, handicapped), arrangement of vehicle components, and bus law or regulations. It was designed as an one body, without any reinforcement armature, which has light-weight sandwich constructions with glass epoxy skins, aluminum honeycomb cores and inner-frames. In this paper, torsion rigidity of the designed car body was evaluated and compared with that of a car body with reinforcement armatures in the cabin. Finite element method verified that the designed car body without reinforcement armatures could satisfy requirements of torsion rigidity.

  • This paper presents the automatic recognition system for car number plate. In our country, two types of number plate pattern is used. The one is old type of number plate, the other is new type of number plate. To recognize both new and old type number plates, the system must have flexibility. Therefore, in this paper, automatic recognition system is developed by use of the neural network for good adaptation, good generalization, and modulation. And because the number plate is made of three codes, the multi neural network consists of three networks. Neural network is teamed by GDR(Generalized Delta learning Rule) and it is verified the effectiveness of the method through experimental results.

  • In order to investigate performance changes, the acceleration, vibration, and braking performance tests were carried out on the electric multiple units (EMUs) with over 20 years operation. According to the testing results, in vibration and braking performance, the similar performance results were obtained as compared with newly manufactured EMUs. However, in terms of acceleration performance, below reference value (3.0 km/h/s) has been obtained. This is mainly due to performance deterioration including traction motor. The precision diagnosis evaluation of deteriorated EMUs will be provided through the overall evaluation of corrosion testing and structural performance of car body.
