Increase of City Transport System Management Efficiency with Application of Modeling Methods and Data Intellectual Analysis

To provide transition to “green economy,” it is necessary to increase the safety and reliability of transport system using Intelligent Transportation Systems. The modern intelligent transportation systems implementation requires communications, command, and control designed originally in vehicles and infrastructure. This paper makes the decision by perfecting vehicle and infrastructure of the transport system. A different way is to use rational management decisions based on the received real-time information. The paper also offers methods to improve the efficiency of the urban transport system.

The application of virtual reality technologies in engineering education for the automotive industry

In this article analyzes the benefits of the use of virtual reality technologies in engineering education. The basic directions of the use of virtual reality and the impact of these technologies on improving the quality of education analyzed. Authors are show example of one of the possible uses of virtual reality in engineering education for the automotive industry.

Creating a safe working environment via analyzing the ergonomic parameters of workplaces on an assembly conveyor

Globalization places increasing requirements to quality and competitiveness of products in the automotive industry. This is forcing manufacturers to look for reserves to increase the safety and efficiency of production processes. In the past two decades many companies have used such advanced methods as simulation to identify the causes of inefficiency of technological processes, among them, analyzing of the process ergonomic parameters. Special software packages are based on applying the accurate three-dimensional models of the person for build virtual production. This approach is more economical than experimenting in real systems and significantly accelerates the analysis of ergonomic parameters because it can be done in parallel with technological preparation of a production but not after it has started. The paper demonstrates the capability of simulation models in optimizing and boosting the efficiency of a technological process, diminishing the work load on the staff in assembly area and risk of performance loops caused by job-related accidents and musculoskeletal disorders.

Improving of performance system of warranty for automotive engineering abroad on the basis of data of rejections analysis

Article deals with improvement possibility of warranty package fulfillment system of automobile vehicles manufacturer in the foreign markets by application of warranty complete sets preparation technique taking into account climatic features of the countries which influence reliability parameters

Computer-aided Training of Engineers: Challenges and Solutions

The paper discusses the advantages of computer technologies and augmented virtual reality in training of engineers, including the main areas of application and influence on the quality of education, and attaches an example of training of engineers for the automobile industry. It is shown that using of systemic approach to the educational process allows to improve the tuition quality of specialists for hi-tech industries. Such engineers can easily adapt in business both due to acquired fundamental knowledge and skills.

Improvement Opportunities in Commodity Trucks Delivery in Globalized Markets

Market globalization has posed the problem of finding economical routes of product delivery one of which is via a system of intermodal motor traction. Currently, the automotive manufacturing plant KAMAZ supplies its products and accompanying servicing to countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America, and intends to extend the market. This study deals with peculiarities of the organization of spare parts delivery to the dealer-service network abroad. Risks of water haul are considered; methods for improving of transportation planning by developing a decision support system are proposed.

Managing an Urban Transport System in Enhancing the Area Stability

The urbanized mankind is faced with vulnerability of urban systems, migration and concentration of population, low quality of habitat, loss of fertile land, and necessity of waste disposal. In large cities, a significant contribution to atmospheric pollution with sulphur dioxide, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and industrial dust comes from the motor transport. The motor traffic growth inevitably affects the human health by causing road and transport traumatism, respiratory diseases and diseases caused by physical inactivity. The proposed solution is based on optimization of a city transport system parameters. This was achieved by via simulation modelling taking into account a large number of parameters, both within and outside the system, many of the latter being stochastic. The recommendations include rearranging of the public transport routes and changing over to vehicles running on gas motor fuel.
