Abstract:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) approached NASA to evaluate vehicle rollover resistance using the High Capacity Centrifuge facility. Testing was planned for six different sport utility vehicles (SUV). Previous methods for simulating rollover conditions were considered to be not indicative of the true driving conditions. A more realistic gradual application of side loading could be achieved by using a centrifuge facility. A unique load measuring lower support system was designed to measure tire loading on the inboard tires and to indicate tire liftoff. This lower support system was designed to more closely emulate actual rollover conditions. Additional design features were provided to mitigate potential safety hazards.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the dimensions of competitive strategy and strategic mapping group of vehicle manufacturers in the segment Sport Utility Vehicle. Since the government applied liberalization automotive policy in 1999, the automotive industry in Indonesia has improved significantly so that the competition increased. It can be seen from the increasing number of foreign brands that entered Indonesia’s market. National car sales continue to rise and break the number of 1.229.903 units in 2013. The segmentation of products in the automotive industry is based on the function of vehicles consisting of passenger cars, commercial cars, buses and trucks. In the segmentation passenger car, there are four sub-segmentation are sedans, multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), sport utility vehicle (SUV) and a city car. SUV type itself is currently being developed in which the number sold in October 2013 to as many as 57.446 units. As a relatively new segment, the characteristics of competition in the SUV market has not been thoroughly established as other types of vehicles. This study uses descriptive analysis to collect data from various sources so that the results of this study will provide a comprehensive overview of the dimensions of competitive strategy and strategic group mapping vehicle manufacturers Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) in the Indonesian market.

Abstract:
Since the oil crisis of the last century, drag reduction for vehicles has become the focus of researchers. Currently the world’s major car brands have to seize the sport utility vehicle market. However, the sport utility vehicle models usually have a larger frontal area which brings challenges to drag reduction. This requires a better understanding of flow around sport utility vehicle models. The Motor Industry Research Association square-back vehicle model is similar to the sport utility vehicle geometry and can reflect the typical characteristics of aerodynamics of sport utility vehicle models. In this article, the wake flow structures of a 1/8 Motor Industry Research Association model is measured by particle image velocimetry. The results indicate that there is an obviously “n” type backflow vortex behind the vehicle. In the vertical direction, the vortex rotates from the outside to the inside, meanwhile the vortex rotates from the inside to the outside in the longitudinal direction. There is a velocity deficit region between the vortex and the back of the model which is an important source of drag force. This article summarizes the results of particle image velocimetry measurements from the model tests and obtains a picture of the structures of the wake vortex finally which can provide a theoretical basis for the drag reduction research in the future.

Abstract:
Sport is viewed as a setting with potential to offer social benefits to youth participants and alleviate broader social problems. Such promise requires intentionality of sport program philosophy, design, and execution. When designed with intentionality, youth sport can bring about positive change for individual youth and societies. This paper overviews the broad literature base, exploring 2 approaches to the promotion of social development through youth sport. One explores social- and/or life-skill development through sport for individual participants, whereas the other examines the role of sport in addressing broader social problems. Evidence-based strategies for fostering social development through youth sport are synthesized, providing guidance to coaches, administrators, youth workers, and others engaged in youth sport design, and exemplar programs that use youth sport as a vehicle for social development are presented. Limitations in youth sport research are summarized, and a call is made for more intentionally designed youth sport to promote social development.

Abstract:
A heteroscedastic ordered logit model was used to study the effects of various vehicle, environmental, roadway, and occupant characteristics on the severity of injuries sustained by vehicle occupants, conditional on the crash occurrence. As expected, the models found that heavier vehicles increased both a vehicle's crashworthiness and driver aggressiveness toward others. The models also found that if all passenger vehicles were to become 1,000 lb heavier, crash injury outcomes would not change dramatically. However, if all passenger cars were to become light-duty trucks (i.e., minivans, pickups, and sport utility vehicles) of the same weight, incapacitating injuries and fatalities were predicted to rise by 26% and 64%, respectively. Beyond weight and vehicle type, many other factors were controlled for as well. For example, older occupants and female occupants were more likely to experience injury and death, particularly when navigating curved roadway sections with higher speed limits.

This article explores the socially constructed space of Wikipedia and how the process and structure of Wikipedia enable it to act both as a vehicle for communication between sport fans and to subtly augment existing public narratives about sport. As users create article narratives, they educate fellow fans in relevant social and sport meanings. This study analyzes two aspects of Wikipedia for sports fans, application of statistical information and connecting athletes with other sports figures and organizations, through a discourse analysis of article content and the discussion pages of ten sample athletes. These pages of retired celebrity athletes provide a means for exploring the multidirectional production processes used by the sport fan community to celebrate recorded events of sporting history in clearly delineated and verifiable ways, thus maintaining the sport fans’ community social values.

Abstract:
The different characteristics of sport utility vehicles (SUVs), pickup trucks, and passenger cars put the smaller vehicle at a disadvantage in a crash. A larger difference in the speed of two vehicles can also increase crash severity, and increases in speed variability on a roadway can decrease overall safety. Research investigated whether drivers of SUVs, pickup trucks, and passenger cars choose different vehicle speeds during winter weather. Vehicle speed, roadway condition, time of day, and vehicle type were recorded during normal and winter-weather conditions. The results indicated that winter-weather vehicle speeds for all three vehicle types were significantly less than normal and that during the day a large percentage of the speed reduction occurs after snow begins to accumulate in the gutter pans of the roadway. Vehicle speed variability also increases during winter-weather conditions. The average SUV speed was statistically higher than the average passenger car speed during the day for four of the five winter-weather roadway surface conditions observed. The magnitude of the speed differences increased with roadway snowcover, but it was always less than 5.6 km/h (3.5 mph). The winter-weather speed differences between passenger cars and SUVs, although small, may have safety implications. The safety of winter-weather roadways may be lower than before the increase in SUV use, more-severe winter-weather crashes may occur between passenger cars and SUVs, more SUV run-off-the-road crashes might occur, and the safety benefits of larger vehicle characteristics may be smaller than believed.

Abstract:
Fascination Travsport. Jag vill attrahera fler människor till travsporten, öppna deras ögon och nå deras känslor för hästens natur. Medelpunkten är relationen mellan människa och djur. En enhet och ett mått: segern. Att ge sitt bästa för att vinna! Styrka, vilja och uthållighet i en spännande och dramatisk sport. Hästen och kusken förbindas via en sulky, en metafor för passion, snabbhet och kraft med ett uttryck för det dramatiska, dynamiska och kraftfulla inom travsporten. En BMW Racing Sulky. Projektidén är att formge en tävlingssulky för travtävlingar. När man är på travbanan och tittar på ett lopp få man mycket intensiva intryck. Tränade hästar som springer tätt inpå varandra. Ibland är det upp till 12 ekipage samtidigt. Kuskar som styr och gör sina strategier, taktik och närvaro. ATG gjorde nya reklamfilmer med hästen som kärnvärde inom travsporten och dess fascinerande urkraftar. Filmerna är mycket imponerande, dramatiska och appellerar till publikens känslor. I det sambandet är den stora frågan hur man kan gå vidare med imagearbetet. Min idé är nu att införa ett nytt formspråk och image inom travsporten genom att överföra BMW:s formspråk på en travsportsulky. En dynamisk och snabb formspråk som anknyter till en utvecklad sportmanagementkultur och en satsning på en professionell produktutveckling. Eftersom formarbetet tar huvudrollen i mitt designarbete är det en fördel att samarbeta med BMW och lära sig mera om deras sätt att tänka och arbeta med exteriöra former. För att ge mitt designarbete en balans fokuserar jag dessutom på förbättringsmöjligheter angående konstruktion, ergonomi och hejar på hästen. Vagnar som glider förbi varandra och hjulens ljud, hovar och inte att glömma kommentatorns röst. Mycket snabba och dynamiska rörelsen. En enhet av två individer med samma strävan sammanbundna av en sulky. En lätt vagn som liknar i sitt utseende och konstruktion en äldre cykel. Sedan 1970, när `Mode Sulkyn kom har man knappt ändrat på dess utseende, bara på materialet från trä till stål, till aluminium och nu förtiden till kolfiber. Målet var att göra en sulky lättre och mera bekvämt för hästen. Ändå liknar de flesta vagnar varandra. Samtidigt har travsporten under de senaste decennierna inte varit särskild synlig i medierna och därför fått mindre uppmärksamhet. Bägge faktorer hänger ihop och behovet efter en frisk vind i denna sporten är stor. Hela situationen lede till ett nytt projekt `Publikprojektet ´ om Travsportens image och mediefunktion. Inom produktområdedon hittar man begrepp som optimering och inom bilbranschen är det expressiva emotionella. För sulkyns design hittade jag en inspiration som är en `merge´ av de båda. Tar man den Z4 `racing car´ som byggts i kolfiber och lackerats i BMWs sportfärgkod, vit, blå och röt står den för en `merge´ mellan form och optimering. På så sätt blir denna en symbol för en ny anda inom travsporten, liksom representativ för BMW kreativitet och innovation. Sådana sponsorer är viktiga, ty de kan bidra med professionella kunskaper inom produktutveckling samt marketing. Man kan ge och ta! Man nischar ett företag samt dess image i ett nytt område och får ny energi, image och utveckling inom travsporten.

Abstract:
L’industrie automobile fournie de plus en plus d’effort pour optimiser l’aérodynamique externe des véhicules afin de réduire son empreinte écologique. Dans ce cadre, l’objectif de ce projet est d’examiner les structures tourbillonnaires responsables de la dégradation de traînée et de proposer une solution de contrôle actif permettant d’améliorer l’efficacité aérodynamique d’un véhicule SUV. Après une étude expérimentale de la maquette POSUV échelle réduite, une analyse modale croisée permet d’identifier les structures périodiques corrélées de l’écoulement qui pilotent la dépression sur le hayon. Une solution de contrôle optimale par jets pulsés sur le parechoc arrière, est obtenue avec un algorithme génétique. Celle-ci permet de réduire la dépression du hayon de 20% et l’analyse croisée des résultats instationnaires avec contrôle montre un changement significatif de la distribution spectrale. Après deux études préliminaires sur la rampe inclinée à 25° et sur le Corps d’Ahmed à 47°, la simulation de POSUV à partir d’un solveur LES, en éléments finis, est validé par rapport aux résultats expérimentaux. L’approfondissement des résultats 3D permet de comprendre les pertes aérodynamiques. La simulation de l’écoulement contrôlé permet également d’identifier les mécanismes du contrôle d’écoulements
The automotive industry dedicates a lot of effort to improve the aerodynamical performances of road vehicles in order to reduce its carbon footprint. In this context, the target of the present work is to analyze the origin of aerodynamic losses on a reduced scale generic Sport Utility Vehicle and to achieve a drag reduction using an active flow control strategy. After an experimental characterization of the flow past the POSUV, a cross-modal DMD analysis is used to identify the correlated periodical features responsible for the tailgate pressure loss. Thanks to a genetic algorithm procedure, 20% gain on the tailgate pressure is obtained with optimal pulsed blowing jets on the rear bumper. The same cross-modal methodology allows to improve our understanding of the actuation mechanism. After a preliminary study of the 25° inclined ramp and of the Ahmed Body computations, the numerical simulation of the POSUV is corroborated with experiments using the cross-modal method. Deeper investigations on the three-dimensional flow characteristics explain more accurately the wake flow behavior. Finally, the controlled flow simulations propose additional insights on the actuation mechanisms allowing to reduce the aerodynamic losses

Abstract:
This thesis concerns the implementation of car sharing technology into a semi autonomous future city sportscar. The vehicle is aimed towards the young rebellious generation who will be living an urban, compact lifestyle. The goal was to create a design language and practical supporting features that would appeal to the target group and express sharing technology. The car can change its visual expression depending on the mode or kind of use. The trunk window is a transparent screen displaying information about availability. In order to enter the car, the window scans the user’s iris and recognises if the person is a subscriber of the service. While using the car, the trunk window turns opaque and the front windows turn transparent. Methods used during the design process included research, sketching, package study, clay modelling, CAD modelling, final visualisation and a physical model.

Abstract:
Seit den neunziger Jahre erfreut sich eine neue Fahrzeugart unter den Personenkraftwagen wachsender Beliebtheit: die sogenannten Sport Utility Vehicles (wörtlich übersetzt: sportliche Nutzfahrzeuge). Anfangs boomte der Verkauf nur in ihrem Ursprungsland, den USA, aber mittlerweile steigen die Zulassungszahlen in diesem Segment auch in Deutschland. Der Begriff eines Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) ist nicht klar definiert. Anfänglich wollten sich die Hersteller mit dieser Namenskreation von den bislang bekannten Geländewagen absetzen, die Dank Allradantrieb und robustem Leiterrahmen das Fortkommen auch abseits befestigter Wege ermöglichten, dafür aber in der Regel wenig Fahrkomfort auf normalen Straßen und spärliche Ausstattung boten. Die ersten SUV waren in den USA von den verbreiteten Pick-up-Fahrzeugen, meist ebenfalls auf einem Leiterrahmen basierend, abgeleitet und wurden neben einem geschlossenen kombiartigen Aufbau mit den Ausstattungsmerkmalen eines Pkw versehen. Sie kombinierten damit tatsächlich die Nutzfunktion – ein großer, aber geschlossener Laderaum und ausreichendes Zugvermögen für den Anhängerbetrieb – mit den Annehmlichkeiten eines Personenwagens, wie Komfort und Beschleunigungsvermögen. Mit zunehmender Verbreitung von SUV wächst auch ihre Modellvielfalt, die die Marketing- Abteilungen der Hersteller durch neue Begriffe wie Sports Activity Vehicle oder Crossover auszudrücken versuchen. Die hohen Verkaufszahlen rechtfertigen auch die Entwicklung eigener Plattformen, die meist von Pkw abstammen und demzufolge fast nur noch selbsttragende Karosserien aufweisen. Allradantrieb ist nicht mehr die Regel oder wird nur gegen Aufpreis geliefert, so dass sich die Ähnlichkeit vieler SUV mit klassischen Geländewagen auf das äußere Erscheinungsbild und die größere Bodenfreiheit und steilere Böschungswinkel beschränkt. Seit SUV mit großen Stückzahlen den Fahrzeugmarkt durchdringen, stoßen sie auch auf erhebliche Kritik. Dies betrifft zum einen den höheren Kraftstoffverbrauch als vergleichbare Personenwagen, da SUV neben einer höheren Bauweise in der Regel auch eine größere Masse und zumindest bei Allradantrieb auch größere Energieverluste im Antriebssystem zu verzeichnen haben. Außerdem wird der unzureichende Partnerschutz bei Kollisionen mit anderen Fahrzeugen oder Fußgängern bemängelt, der den Unfallgegner stärker gefährde als nötig. Zudem waren Ende der neunziger Jahre einige SUV-Modelle in Nordamerika Gegenstand behördlicher Untersuchungen geworden, nachdem plötzliche Reifendruckverluste zu schweren Alleinunfällen geführt hatten. SUV-Lenkern selbst wird mitunter eine aggressive Fahrweise und ein rücksichtsloseres Verhalten im Verkehr vorgehalten. Mit der im Folgenden beschriebenen Forschungsarbeit will die Unfallforschung der Versicherer (UDV) einzig die Rolle von SUV im Verkehrsunfallgeschehen in Deutschland und die Einstellung ihrer Fahrer zur Verkehrssicherheit klären. Ökologische Aspekte und praktischer Nutzen solcher Fahrzeuge im täglichen Betrieb sind dagegen nicht Gegenstand dieser Diskussion.

Abstract:
Crosswind gusts have a continuous influence on the ride and handling of road vehicles. At low speeds the effect is negligible but as both car and wind speeds increase there is a reduction in refinement, ride quality is degraded and it becomes tiring to drive. Future environmental legislation concerning the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions will lead to a lighter road vehicle and a corresponding increase in crosswind sensitivity. The aerodynamicist's approach to understanding the fluid flow around a vehicle when subjected to a crosswind has conventionally been through steady state model tests where aerodynamic force and moment data are taken for different yaw angles. The accuracy of this data has previously been questioned because of a lack of simulation of the transient nature of the crosswind gust. Additionally, although force and moment data can tell the aerodynamicist which are the principle loads influencing a vehicles response in a crosswind, they fail to identify the specific regions on the vehicle that contribute to these aerodynamic loads. This can only be achieved by pressure mapping the model surface and although such a technique has been employed during steady state tests, no research has been presented with the correct modeling of the transient crosswind gust. To gain an initial understanding of the complex time dependent and separated flow fields around bluff vehicles, such as sports utility vehicles, when subjected to a crosswind, aerodynamic force, moment and surface pressure data of simple geometric shapes has been collected on the Cranfield crosswind track facility. Steady state data has been obtained from conventional wind tunnel tests and compared with the transient data. Unique pressure animations identify the growth and collapse of vortices on the leeward face as the primary transient characteristic and which produce peak aerodynamic yawing moments up to double that seen in the steady state.

Abstract:
In this thesis, VehicleSim multi-body software is used to extend and modify an existing motorcycle model by including different non-conventional suspension systems. Girder and Hossack double wishbones front suspension systems are designed, implemented and tested. Using a synthesis of mechanism methodology, they are designed with different kinematic configurations that allow different behaviours of the motorcycle front end. By means of CAD tools and finite element analysis, realistic three dimensional models of the suspension systems designs are developed. The dynamical properties of the mechanical assemblies are obtained from the CAD models and used to build a realistic mathematical model of a sport motorcycle fitted with theses alternative suspension systems. Dynamical and stability analyses of the alternative front suspension systems are performed. For the different kinematic configurations, anti-dive properties and variation of the motorcycle's handling geometric parameters are studied by non-linear dynamical simulations. Stability analyses are performed by means of the motorcycle linear models eigenvalues. Passive interconnection of front and rear suspension systems of a sport motorcycle is also investigated. The effects of an interconnected suspensions system on the motorcycle in-plane motions are studied by means of reduced order linear models. The baseline model is modified to include passive interconnection forces between the front and rear suspension systems. The possible improvement introduced by an interconnected suspensions system in terms of suspension accuracy is investigated through non-linear simulations with delayed step tyres inputs. Appropriate values of the interconnection passive components for different possible mechanical implementation are found by means of optimization processes. Linear stability analyses are performed for each of the different optimal interconnected configurations. Nonlinear frequency analyses of the motorcycle wheels and chassis responses are also performed considering the delay between the front and rear tyre inputs. Non-linear simulations with variable frequency sinusoidal road inputs are run for this purpose. Finally, modal analyses of the motorcycle model are carried out for variable interconnection parameters in order to understand the effect of the interconnected suspensions system on the motorcycle's motion.

Abstract:
A capability for modeling and simulating frontal impact tests required by the crash sensing calibration task during the development process of a new motor vehicle is presented. The capability is applicable to the body-on-frame (BOF) vehicles such as light trucks and sport utility vehicles. Critical modeling techniques and guidelines for building a high fidelity frontal impact finite element BOF vehicle model were developed and validated using 15 full vehicle crash tests. The modeling techniques and guidelines can be used to model and simulate a suite of frontal impact sensing tests for BOF vehicles. Such a math-based capability could significantly reduce the development time and cost of a new light truck or sport utility vehicle.

Abstract:
The consumer today places greater demands upon the vehicle acoustical engineer than in the past. Product quality has always been associated with a quiet ride. Automotive engineers recognize that the predominant sources of vehicle interior noise are wind, tire-road or rolling noise, and the powertrain. This paper suggests a test protocol for measuring wind and rolling noise using a chassis rolls dynamometer and road tests. Automotive engineers are frequently confronted by customer complaints concerning wind noise. Usually, engineers resort to using wind tunnels to address these concerns and to conduct diagnostic studies to remedy wind noise problems. Unfortunately, wind tunnels are expensive to rent and difficult to schedule. As an alternative, the engineer can learn a great deal about the wind noise of a vehicle by using a chassis rolls dynamometer along with road tests [1,2]. If the chassis rolls surface texture closely matches that of the road surface, the tire-road or rolling noise signal in both situations can be assumed to be equivalent. The powertrain noise source can be minimized by shifting the vehicle into neutral and coasting. Wind noise is a source for the road measurements, but not for the chassis rolls. Hence, the wind noise can be calculated by measuring the cab interior noise for both operating conditions, and subtracting the rolling noise measured on the chassis rolls. The two vehicles tested in this study included a pickup truck and a sport utility vehicle. The acoustical data revealed significantly different rolling and wind noise characteristics. The pickup truck had significantly louder rolling noise, and the wind noise was dominated by low frequency sound. The sport utility vehicle was much quieter overall and was significantly quieter for rolling noise than the pickup. The wind noise of the sport utility vehicle also was dominated by high frequency components. Both vehicles showed that rolling and wind noise trends increase linearly with speed. However, the slope of wind noise data for the sport utility vehicle was much steeper than the pickup, which suggested that it was more sensitive to wind noise as speed increased. Exterior noise data from both vehicles showed that the tire-road signal from the road differed significantly from that of the chassis rolls dynamometer. Rolling & wind noises will become even more critical as the motor vehicle industry adopts hybrid electric and, in the future electric fuel cell vehicles, because powertrain noise sources in the vehicle will likely be reduced. The procedure suggested here provides an inexpensive simple approach to assessing rolling and wind noise in the vehicle.
