Automobile safety is becoming an important subject because of the large number of electronic systems being integrated within a System on Chip (SoC) and with the use of current state-of-theart technology, safety is becoming an even bigger challenge. ISO 26262 is a mandatory standard to ensure the safety performance in electronic systems in automobile. This standard also provides the required tar...

The AGV (automated guided vehicle) was introduced in UK in 1953 for transporting. But nowadays, due to their high efficiency, flexibility, reliability, safety and system scalability, they are used in various application in industries. In brief, the AGV robot is a system which typically made up of vehicle chassis, embedded controller, motors, drivers, navigation and collision avoidance sensors, ...

Article history: Received 2 April 2013 Received in revised form 25 July 2013 Accepted 26 July 2013 Available online xxxx Since the 1970s, automobile manufacturers have used electronics for safety–critical automobile control systems such as acceleration, braking, and steering. These electronic systems introduced functionalities in automobiles that were not feasible in a purely mechanical framewo...

Up until now, we’ve considered our embedded control system to be self-contained: an algorithm implemented in software resident on a single microprocessor, communicating with its environment through sensors and actuators via peripheral devices such as an analog-to-digital converter. In fact, many embedded systems are distributed, consisting of multiple microprocessors communicating over one or m...

Recent correspondence in the British Medical Journall-4 has discussed the need for oxygen-failure devices and the philosophy of their design, so we shall not repeat this discussion here. Briefly, however, we think that very occasional oxygen failures are inevitable, during both anaesthesia and artificial ventilation with oxygen. Because the danger is so remote any safety device that is to gain ...

According to the actual working conditions of the Vribbed belt, automobile V-ribbed belt fatigue tester machine is designed to test for the automobile engine Vribbed belt fatigue wear. Finite-element analysis software ANSYS is employed to perform finite-element analysis on fatigue testing machine load shaft, bearing, universal joint key parts of the finite-element analysis, and to analyze the m...

This paper explores how the automobile has indirectly led to dramatic changes in patterns of accessibility to retail and service activity within metropolitan regions. The automobile instigated a greater articulation of the hierarchy of transportation facilities, as reflected in a greater differentiation between the local and the regional systems. At the same time, the automobile instigated a co...
