Maintaining a high level of maintenance of electrical equipment in passenger cars requires research in the field of improving methods and means of technical diagnostics. Electronic devices for automatic control and protection, which are located in the switchboard of the car, are one of the most critical elements in the electrical equipment system, ensuring its reliable, efficient and safe operation. If the automatic adjustment and protection devices are out of regulation during operation, the voltage and current in the electrical equipment network may exceed the permissible level, which leads to the failure of electricity consumers, a battery and a generator. In addition, the semiconductor devices themselves are very sensitive to short-term overloads, in which, even with minor overloads, a breakdown or breakage of the conductive layer occurs. Modern trends in the development of passenger car fleet indicate a sharp increase in the complexity of the element base of cars. This mainly concerns the electrical systems of cars, where all the functions of control, monitoring and diagnostics are performed by electronics. Maintaining a high level of service for such systems requires research in the field of improving methods and means of technical diagnostics. For these purposes, the authors have developed a method for constructing optimal control and diagnostic tests, which is based on a combinatorial approach. The method is easily implemented on a computer.

Ergonomics is an important validation content in vehicle product development. The traditional evaluation method of ergonomics adopts physical mockups or prototypes, which is very costly, and is inconvenient to modify, and usually cause prolonged development cycle-time. In this paper, in conjunction with enterprise’s requirements, an ergonomic validation equipment system, which has adjustable main parts, was developed. Firstly, requirements were analyzed, and target model cars ranges were determined, and ergonomic contents which can be validated using this equipment were clarified. The packaging characteristic of the passenger car was analyzed, and the reference fiducial marks system used for packaging design were determined. Based on the requirement of occupant accommodation, anthropometries of target population were statistically analyzed. By using revised SAE J1517 H-Point curves models, the drivers’ seating space was designed, as well as the requirement of the driver seat track travel. Based on the analysis of packaging data of passenger cars, and considering the possible changes, controls such as steering wheel, pedals, sticks, etc., were packaged.

Maintenance of the power equipment system is based on the industry standard of averaged volumes of standard maintenance and repair of power equipment, frequency and duration of the preventive measures, the nomenclature and consumption of materials and spare parts to perform operations. One of the more efficient uses of electrical equipment is to improve its maintenance system through the development and implementation of service strategies for the actual condition. The work proved the necessary conditions for the realization of electric service strategy on defining the main diagnostic parameter. The general mathematical model is proposed to implement the service strategy. The model is based on a study of basic parameters using random monotone normal type of process and diagnostic controlled parameter with three discrete product states (working, the state of preventive actions, and failure) and continuous operating time. The results of studies of the new techniques development for improving the operation of electrical systems are presented.

A few researchers have tried to find the measurement of the reverberation time of a passenger car. However, this has proved to be extremely difficult because the reverberation time of a passenger car is too short to measure using the traditional bandpass filter. If the reverberation time is very short, the product of the reverberation time ( T) and the bandwidth ( B) of the traditional bandpass filter is very small. The low level of the product BT required for the measurement of the reverberation time using the traditional bandpass filter is 16. In order to overcome this problem, the wavelet filter bank has been developed. In the paper, this new wavelet filter is employed to measure the reverberation times of five different classes of passenger car. The low level of the product BT required for the measurement of reverberation time using the wavelet filter is 4. Therefore, it was possible to measure the reverberation times of five passenger cars successfully using the new wavelet filter bank. It is found that the reverberation times measured in most passenger cars are around 0.04. It is a very short reverberation time compared with those of general acoustic rooms like a concert hall.

Ferroresonance is a complex nonlinear electrical phenomenon that can cause dielectric and thermal problems for electrical equipment. Electrical systems with ferroresonant behavior are nonlinear dynamical systems. The ferroresonance phenomenon may take place when the core of an inductive device becomes saturated, and its current flux characteristic becomes nonlinear. While in the case of a linear resonant circuit the resonance frequency is well defined, in the case of a nonlinear circuit, the oscillations may exist at various frequencies, depending on many factors of the particular case. In this paper, ferroresonance phenomenon and its mitigation techniques in 33 kV/110 V voltage transformers (VT) were studied using ATP-EMTP simulation. Initial investigations were carried out for the VT failures occurred at one substation in Malaysia. Physical and burn characteristics of the failed VTs were studied. Simulation results show that ferroresonance cannot be proven to have occurred at the VT due to switching operations since one precondition, namely the critical capacitance, could not have been satisfied. However, in the event of a ferroresonance occurring, several mitigation techniques such as using load resistors, proper grounding sequence, reconfiguration of VT connection, and overcurrent and overvoltage protection can be implemented.

Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2ME, 2015–2022) is the largest European Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (EU FCH JU)-funded hydrogen light vehicle and infrastructure demonstration. Up until April 2017, the 40 Daimler passenger car fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and 62 Symbio Fuel Cell-Range Extended Electric Vans (FC-REEV)-vans deployed by the project drove 625,300 km and consumed a total of 7900 kg of hydrogen with no safety incidents. During its first year of operation (to April 2017), the NEL Hydrogen Fueling HRS (hydrogen refuelling station) in Kolding, Denmark dispensed 900 kg of hydrogen, and demonstrated excellent reliability (98.2% availability) with no safety incidents. The average hydrogen refuelling time for passenger cars is comparable to that for conventional vehicles (2–3 min).

The iconic Ford Motor Company is considered one of the pillars of the automotive industry. Its first vehicle, the Model T, introduced the concept of mass production and automobile affordability to the masses. Today, the market is full of domestic and foreign competitors, yet, Ford has struggled to remain competitive, even though it promotes itself as America’s best-selling brand. Its stock was recently downgraded, and recently, it announced its intentions to only sell sports utility vehicles, trucks, Mustangs and Focus, in other words, it will stop selling most of its passenger cars. Conversely, Toyota continues to lead the market in passenger car sales, while newcomer Tesla struggles to deliver on its backlog of 500,000 electric vehicle orders. Ford has strong brand equity, has automated production facilities and a large franchised dealer network across the globe. Yet, it is rapidly losing passenger car market share, its profits are eroding, and its new vision is confusing. Furthermore, the company is facing a significant threat from well capitalized new competitors entering from the tech industry. The company, on the other hand, has enjoyed significant success in mainland China, where the demand for American automobiles continuous to be strong. Yet, the company needs to assume a cost leadership position and attempt to use this strategy to increase market share. The contention in this paper is that an adequate approach for the company appears to be a combination of market penetration in the domestic front, market expansion in Asia and other parts of the globe, and a product development approach that ushers cost reductions.

Hybridization is important to obtain the advantages of both the engine and motor as the sources of propulsion. This paper discusses the effect of hybridization of powertrain on vehicle performance. The Hybrid architectures are differentiated on the basis percentage of power dependency on the engine and motor. Passenger car with hybridization ratios of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% are modelled on MATLAB/Simulink using the backward facing approach with the engine and motor specifications remaining constant. The hybridizations ratios and the energy consumption in terms of fuel and battery energy are obtained from the model and compared. Neural network is implemented to determine the fuel consumption. The outputs can be used by a system designer to determine a desirable hybridization factor based on the requirements dictated by the specific application.

ABSTRAKSalah satu faktor penyebab kecelakaan yang signifikan adalah tidak sesuainya kecepatan kendaraan dengan kondisi jalan, lingkungan dan kegiatan, dalam hal ini adalah kecepatan yang terlalu tinggi. Jalan tol/jalan bebas hambatan merupakan salah satu jalan yang berpotensi memiliki banyak pelanggaran dalam kecepatan kendaraan. Batasan kecepatan jalan tol telah di atur dalam PM Hub 111/2015 yaitu 40 km/jam untuk tol dalam kota dan 60 km/jam - 100 km/jam untuk tol luar kota. Untuk memastikan kecepatan rata-rata kendaraan dan menentukan tingkat pelanggaran kendaraan yang melintasi ruas jalan tol Cipularang maka penelitian menggunakan metode pengumpulan data primer/pengamatan secara langsung. Hasil analisis secara keseluruhan didapatkan bahwa rata-rata kecepatan kendaraan mobil penumpang sebesar 88 km/jam, truk 62 km/jam dan bus 72 km/jam dengan persentasi kecepatan rata-rata untuk mobil penumpang, truk dan bus berturut-turut sebesar 43%, 5% dan 22%. Hal ini menunjukan terdapat pelanggaran batas kecepatan maksimum untuk kendaraan mobil penumpang dengan prosentase yang tinggi (lebih dari 30%) atau kecepatan rata-rata lebih dari 80 km/jam.Kata kunci: kecelakaan, batas kecepatan, jalan tol ABSTRACTOne factors of a significant accident is not according to the speed of the vehicle with the environment, environment and activities, in this case the speed is too high.
