Inclusive Transportation - A Manifesto For Repairing Divided Communities

by Veronica Davis

31,69€ + 10% CARD

 Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the US face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities and cede to the automobile? In Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. She examines what “equity” means for a transportation project, which is central to changing how we approach and solve problems to create something safer, better, and more useful for all people. Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase. Inclusive Transportation is a call to action and a practical approach to reconnecting and shaping communities based on principles of justice and equity.

Theory Of The Thermal Behavior Of The Ceramic Material Ptc - The High-Voltage Ptc Heater Is A Current-Controlled Power Thermistor

by Klaus Kietzer

~~7,83€~~ 7,05€ 10% OFF

 Scientific Essay from the year 2024 in the subject Engineering - Automotive Engineering, , language: English, abstract: The new material PTC has found its way into technology due to its special properties. The powdered ceramic raw material is prepared into a semi-finished product in a preparatory process by forming compression with subsequent sintering in order to be usable as a material with special properties. The material PTC is a cubic electrical resistor with the special property of increasing the internal resistance by leaps and bounds when the Curie temperature is reached, in order to reduce the current flow in a small temperature range until it is completely switched off. The safety feature of the PCT is the decisive criterion compared to an electric heating wire to avert fire hazards in the event of inadequate cooling. The PCT has been used in the automotive industry in low-voltage and high-voltage PTC heaters. Due to its special properties, PTC has been used in electrical components such as the PTC thermistor. In this article, a calculation method is developed for the material PTC in order to determine the thermal behavior of the PTC from an engineering point of view.

 Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Engineering - Automotive Engineering, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: The whole world is constantly evolving. Before the 17th century, mechanics and electricity were not invented for mankind. Many discoveries and inventions have been an enrichment for the human life in the last 300 years, but also many are gratuitous or even endangered. New technologies are not only available to assist people's activities or to produce commodities, but they are and will be of much more value in the future. For the first ten years of the 21st century, the masses had been guaranteed unimaginable technical advances and the continuing possibilities of self thinking processes in metal. It is named Artificial Intelligence, in short AI. But this engineering marvel is not yet fully functional. The machine cannot think on its own so an ethnic decision comes from the developer. However "Artificial Intelligence is the key for autonomous driving" and revolutionized the transport sector in all aspects. This journey to a complete automated infrastructure, whose development is beyond all questions, will affect our lives. An enormous number of experts will be required for the designing and upkeeping of the new cars.

Impact Of Digital Transformation On Business Models In The Automotive Industry

by Robin Mayer

34,24€ + 10% CARD

 Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Engineering - Automotive Engineering, grade: 1,5, University of Applied Sciences Aalen, language: English, abstract: Digital transformation and disruptive business models of new market players create unprecedented uncertainty in the automotive industry. One of the main reasons is the lack of understanding for the need of adapting business models to a changing business environment due to new technologies and shifting customer wants and needs. Even the automotive industry is not spared from digital Darwinism, according to which it is not the strongest or most intelligent of a species that survives, but rather the one that adapts best to change. What opportunities do OEMs have to transform their business models? How can best practices be used to generate new value creation, and what influence does the transformation of the business model have on the ecosystem? What role will the dealer play in the future, and how can he still deliver added value to the OEM?This paper provides an in-depth insight into the world of automotive sales, as well as a detailed analysis of the status quo. Best practices based on successful business model transformations of the top tier OEMs are the basis for a deeper understanding and serve other companies as foundation for developing digital business models. The goal of this paper is to examine the impact of digital transformation on the dealer business model and how they can continue to deliver value to the OEM. For this purpose, guided expert interviews are conducted with 16 experts from various areas of the automotive industry. Subsequently, a qualitative content analysis according to Mayring will be used to assess the challenges and impacts of the agent business model and to develop improvement measures and key topics that offer added value for OEMs. The results of this thesis support dealers in understanding their future role in the automotive industry and show design recommendations for a future-proof business model.

Development Of Calls And Sms Alert System Of A Vehicle. Anti-Theft-System

by Lea Mae Sugabo

21,68€ + 10% CARD

 Diploma Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Engineering - Automotive Engineering, grade: 4th, , course: Automotive, language: English, abstract: The research study aims to determine the effectiveness of a vehicle's Call & SMS Alert System. Significantly, it aims to: design and development of call & SMS notification for anti-theft system and develop and integrate the design elements of the device. Technology innovations and inventions have brought benefits to human beings. With the fast advancement of technology in recent years, an increasing number of intelligent technology systems have used computer vision and pattern recognition algorithms. Many common problems, like vehicle theft, can be resolved using these technology systems. Vehicle theft, like vehicle hijacking, is a frequent problem in the Philippines and internationally. Vehicle hijacking has been an increasingly serious problem over the last and recent decade. The rate of hijackings is higher in locations where a car is financially out of reach but nonetheless a need or status symbol. According to E.T Exclusivethesis, these days hijackers are armed with dangerous and fatal weapons in 90% of the incidents. Typically, there is no need to deploy the weapons because the sheer sight of them causes the ordinary individual to abandon their car. But the weapons aren't just for show; car hijackers aren't scared to use them, and then just 1% of car hijackings result in a fatality. Hijackers see cars and steal them quickly, they can sell them and bring several thousand dollars in minutes or second, hijackers are heartless and ruthless criminals and are provoked not by the hurt they cause in other people but by greed for money and the thrill of stealing a car from a total stranger. The rise in car hijacking is complex stemming from a variety of social issues coupled with difficult economic times. Cars are growing more expensive, even though they are becoming less necessary in one's life. People rely on their autos for mobility, and many car owners would be unable to tell you what public transit options are available to get them to the same areas. They are "crimes of opportunity" committed by people who need to satiate their fix or other desperate people

Aerodynamic Optimisation Of Turbocharger Compressor Diffuser Geometry For Real-World Drive Cycles

by Kristaq Hazizi

45,69€ + 10% CARD

 Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2022 in the subject Engineering - Automotive Engineering, grade: 8.0, Anglia Ruskin University (FACULTY OF SCIENCE & ENGINEERING), course: Mechanical Engineering, language: English, abstract: The aim of the dissertation is to develop a new numerical optimisation technique for the diffuser geometry of a typical turbocharger compressor, using a non-parametric optimisation method (adjoint). This leads to an increase in power and thermal efficiency in real-world drive cycles for passenger car engines. The geometry and experimental data correspond to the TD025-05T4 compressor from the 1.2-liter Renault Megane passenger car supplied by MTEE. In this study, a set of numerical simulations were conducted along two turbocharger compressor speed lines at 150,000 rpm and 80,000 rpm to analyse and validate the results against experimental data. Three points on each speed line are selected: one point each in regions close to surge and choke and a point in the stable zone of the compressor map. In addition, this study optimises the diffuser geometry in a passenger vehicle turbocharger compressor using a gradient-based solution approach employing a non-parametrical adjoint shaping optimisation for ideal gas turbulent compressible flow applications. The adjoint solver is a gradient-based optimisation that can automatically generate a series of iterations of a design so that the mesh gradually changes shape to meet a single goal, like the efficiency of the compressor in this case. The study considers a total of six operating cases on the compressor map to optimise the full and partial load compressor operations, leading to a real-world drive cycle. These cases are the three cases (closer to surge, stable midpoint, and closer to the choke point) on each of the speed lines. A typical result for mid-stable operation on a 150,000 (rpm) speed line shows a gradual increase in efficiency up to a maximum of 2.6% improvement. While, for choke and surge optimisation, the geometry variation of the optimised diffuser is different, in the stable central area for both speed lines, the geometry change is consistent. Therefore, the diffuser can be made to work best for both half and full load engine operation. As a result, the optimum diffuser geometry impacts engine efficiency and the overall performance of a typical passenger car for real drive cycles, increasing power and slightly improving thermal efficiency. When a typical car engine is running at full and half-load in real-world operation, the improved compressor efficiency is expected to make a small difference. This will make the engine more powerful and more efficient by about 0.1%.

 Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Engineering - Automotive Engineering, grade: 1,3, University of Hamburg (Institut fur Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Sprachlehrveranstaltung Business/Vocational English, language: English, abstract: This paper provides the description and illustration of future possibilities and business models this new and emerging technology may come along with. Firstly, it briefly outlines the current history, to provide a few important milestones in this field within the last two decades. Secondly, this paper discusses those industries which (probably) will mostly be affected by the fundamental changes resulting from driverless cars. Finally, the focus of the last section lies on the business models global players and small start-ups are working on these days to ensure future market shares in a trillion-dollar industry. The term "autonomous vehicle" has been discussed so often in recent time, and this does not come as a surprise. After the inventions of the horse-drawn carriage and the automobile, humankind is on the brink of the next mobile revolution. While self-driving cars just hit our streets for test purposes nowadays, autonomous vehicles (AVs) will shape the future of mobility, and they will become a common element of traffic. Besides the technological perspective, which this paper does not discuss at length, AVs will have an impact on many aspects of our daily life and society we can barely imagine today.
