Air conditioning has become a key component in the automobile industry now, and almost every vehicle manufactured in the 21st century has air conditioning integrated. Most drivers drive with their air conditioning on while some of their windows are not fully closed; this affects the operation of the air conditioning. In addition, if the driver wants to turn on the air conditioning while driving, he or she has to move up the power windows manually after or before he or she turns on the air conditioning, which may affect his or her concentration on the road. The concept of this power window circuit system is to automatically close the windows after a few seconds when the air conditioner is turned on.

The article presents the results of the prototype magneto-levitation bogie for the transport of containers using the technology of magneto-dynamic levitation «Inductrack». The main elements of the prototype bogie are: - supporting welded steel frame, which is attached to the container stops, blocks, magnets, support and guide wheels; - the magnets are combined into blocks according to the scheme «an Array of Halbach»; - shunting wheel required for pre-acceleration of the bogie (with levitation wheels not touching the track structure); - guide wheels, which serve for centering the bogie on the road when driving on a plot of acceleration. Cart design was developed taking into account the possibility of placing massive superconductors instead of permanent magnets. Carts are designed to carry containers of various types, it does not require additional devices for connecting the carriages together. To assess the strength of the construction was taken following calculation modes: - the moving bogie, when you turn on linear synchronous motor, a trolley supported by shunting wheel and operate the inertial load; - braking when the bogie is in magneto-levitation flight support with the maneuvering of the wheel is missing, there are inertial load; - support bogie magnets on when the bogie is in magneto-levitation flight; - support the trolley on the shunting wheel, the linear synchronous motor is turned off. The calculation was carried out by finite element method using the design package «Ansys Workbench».

Capacity assessment of urban roads according to Slovak standard does not sufficiently take into account the influence of vehicle maneuvers on road section performance between the two intersections. This research analyzed turning relations on selected urban road intersections and the influence of right turn and left turn on major stream speed changes. For the purpose of determining the influence of the right turn on decrease in capacity, measurements were carried out at 7 uncontrolled intersections with curve radius ranging from 6 to 30m. To determine the influence of the left turn on the capacity of urban road a critical gap was evaluated, using the Raff’s, method, based on the analysis of accepted and rejected gaps in the major traffic stream, which was one of the main inputs for simulations. The findings were used to determine the influence of selected maneuvers on the road capacity, which led to a proposal for reduction coefficients based on computational analysis performed using simulations in PTV VISSIM.

This work provides information to determine the sudden hazardous living or non–living materials in front of vehicles on either side, i.e.180 degree across will indicate the drivers for stopping the vehicles automatically with ANDON and BUZZER. Then the vehicle will automatically turn on either side safely. For Sudden detection of obstacles, specifically waterfall at certain height, rock rolling down, landslides, earthquake, animals, abnormal things and tree fallen on the road 90 degree on either side. ANDON and BUZZER system is for visual indication along with voice monitoring for indication to front and back vehicles. Successful display of distance and identified object will be displayed in the LCD. The mainly used components for this project are the use of preventing and corrective action through ARDUINO MEGA, ULTRASONIC SENSORS, VIBRATION SENSOR SW-420 and LDR MODULE.
