STUDY REGARDING THE CAR BRAKE DISC TEMPERATURE VARIATION DURING THE LENGTHY BRAKING

When a car descends a slope with a great length, the thermal stresses resulting from contact between the brake discs and brake pads, there is possible to exceed the maximal limits of the materials resistance, resulting the rapid wear, decreasing the performance of braking or the loss control of movement and the road accidents are producing. The study refers to establishment the dependence between the braking intensity and time when the temperature achieves a the maximum limit on the surface of the car brake disc which descends a slope with constant speed so that the material is not affected or the brake pads

Research Regarding the Development of the Combustion Chamber of Internal Combustion Engines with Opposite Pistons

The reduction in environment pollutant emissions is one of the main challenges regarding ground transportation. Internal combustion engines, used especially in hybrid propulsion systems, may be a solution in the transition to fully electric cars. Therefore, more efficient engines in terms of fuel consumption, emission generation and power density must be developed. This paper presents research regarding the architecture of the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine with opposed pistons. The aim of this research was to find a combustion chamber architecture that would enable the engine to perform close to the program target of: NOx < 3.5 g/kWh, smoke (FSN) < 1, specific fuel consumption (bsfc) < 198 g/kWh. Three variants of the combustion chamber’s architecture have been studied. After the experimental research, the conclusion was that none of them fully reached the target; however, significant improvements have been achieved compared with the starting point. As a result, further research needs to be carried out in order to reach and even exceed the target

Driver Drowsiness Multi-Method Detection for Vehicles with Autonomous Driving Functions

The article outlines various approaches to developing a fuzzy decision algorithm designed for monitoring and issuing warnings about driver drowsiness. This algorithm is based on analyzing EOG (electrooculography) signals and eye state images with the aim of preventing accidents. The drowsiness warning system comprises key components that learn about, analyze and make decisions regarding the driver’s alertness status. The outcomes of this analysis can then trigger warnings if the driver is identified as being in a drowsy state. Driver drowsiness is characterized by a gradual decline in attention to the road and traffic, diminishing driving skills and an increase in reaction time, all contributing to a higher risk of accidents. In cases where the driver does not respond to the warnings, the ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) system should intervene, assuming control of the vehicle’s commands
