Every car manufacturer desires to reduce the new car development time spent in improving the safety, NVH, lightweight, reliability and environment friendly features of the car. Other considerations such as planning, exterior and interior styling, packaging, color, and material selection increase the complexity of the car design process. This paper proposes a personal DDP (Digital Design Process) to utilize the engineering analysis and design/styling software for car design. DDP can be efficiently used by a team of car research center or a studio with small number of engineers, helping ordinary engineers becoming ambidextrous in design as well as engineering applications. The concept model starts from idea sketch, rendering, and 3D surface model with CAS (Computer Aided Styling) to the final safety estimation by using proposed DDP based on engineering technology (CAD, CAE). The concept model proposed a hydrogen fuel cell sports coupe which could be available within next 10 years. The proposed DDP can not only reduce the new car development time but also be adapted into designing of varied products such as aircraft, yacht, electrical equipment and sports gear.

This paper describes on the development of Controller for the Utility Car using Microprocessor. The Utility Car is composed of Controller, separately exited DC motor, battery and potbox. It is easier to for a digitalized controller using microprocessor append new function than an analogized controller. The test driving of controller shows that the Utility Car travels 20 [km] per charge.

Self-driving cars have three main functions. The first recognizes the surrounding environment, judge the risk, and lastly plans the drive path. Therefore, the driving operation is minimized. And it refers to a human friendly car capable of safe driving on its own. The reason for the need for self-driving car was to reduce traffic jams on limited roads and to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Driving ahead of these self-driving car businesses can be expected to attract and expand the existing business and expand the new business and create new business opportunities for ICT firms. It is urgent for the concerned agencies to establish legal and institutional basis for self-driving cars. By doing so, new services could be provided to consumers. Therefore, this paper introduces the technological development trends for self-driving cars.

The studies of the half active suspension have been performed using various suspension models. In the early days, the modeling considered the inputs to the active suspension as the linear forces. Recently, due to the development of new control theory, the forces input to the half car active suspension system has been replaced by an actual input to the hydraulic actuators. Therefore, the dynamic of the active suspension system now consists of the dynamic of half car suspension system plus the dynamic of the hydraulic actuators. This paper proposed a new modeling technique in integrating both dynamic models. The proportional integral sliding mode control technique is utilized to control the hydraulically actuated of the half car active suspension system. The performance of the half car hydraulically actuated active suspension system is simulated with a bump input. The results show that the proposed modeling technique and the proportional integral sliding mode controller are improved the ride comfort and ride handling of the half car active suspension system.

This paper deals with a newly developed direction indicator system of a car which displays left turn and U- turn signal differently, so that the following driver can identify the Intent of the next car ahead easily. In general, when a car want to change its direction, the driver move the blinker lever below the steering wheel up or down. However, as the left turn and U-turn signal are the same, there always be the risk of rear-end collision by misinterpreting U-turn signal as left turn signal. In this paper, a new direction indicator system which differentiates left turn and U-turn signal is developed. The left turn signal is the same as before, but when a driver want to U-turn, an additional U-turn signal blinks at the rear of the car. By identifying the direction signals clearly, the developed system is expected to alleviate the risk of car accident.

Car Navigation market is rapidly emerging in Korea recently. And it adds the multiple functions which are various traffic and travel information, DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) TV, game, movie and music. It is evolving as a killer application device of Car Infotainment (Information & Entertainment). On the other hand, the technical barrier which is pushing into the market is low and the competition is intense in process of time. In the market situation, the design differentiation is embossed with important element. In this case study, focused on inkel which specialized in Audio/Video launching into the Car Navigation market with the new brand 'WideTouch', we tried to provide successful product design strategy based on proactive research on the market for the design differentiation through the target segmentation of the new generation, middle-aged and a woman consumer.

Regarding project management, many organizations have developed and distributed general project management knowledge systems, and application fields use the knowledge systems to apply the process suitable for characteristics of a project. This study suggests project management process models to apply to product development projects and introduces the application cases. This product development project management process model is composed of five top processes of initiation and preparation, planning, implementation management, control, and termination and transfer. The five processes are re-divided into 18 bottom processes. These processes are expressed as input, control, output, and mechanism by using the IDEF0 model. This model is applied to the new car development project of a Korean automobile company and introduces the cases, which shows a project charter, a work breakdown structure, a project schedule, a progress s-curve, a risk register, and a performance report.

The engineer's creativity is becoming more important as high value-added products are required. In this paper, a new curriculum model for creative engineering education has been developed. This study proposes the method of applying Chem-E-Car to the chemical engineering education for students to develop creativity. The Chem-E-Car is used as a given problem to students for developing safety study, teamwork, communication skill and creativity. The PBL(problem based Learning) is used in the class. The problem in this case is to make the Chem-E-Car, a shoebox sized car powered only by chemical reactions. Four types of Chem-E-Car such as turbine, rocket, voltaic cell and fuel cell are developed through out this program. The fuel cell powered Chem-E-Car is emphasized to students as new problems with constraints. This paper shows how the students solved the problems with creativity.
