In this paper, the analysis of engine mounting structures that will be applied to electric vehicles is conducted. The structure subjected static loading from mounted components assembly, including assembly gearbox, motor, and corresponding brackets. arrangement, HSLA material mostly used general structural steel such as AISI 4130 also used. This study aims evaluate existing design so further op...

This paper presents a method for enhancing speech disturbed by car noise. The proposed method cancels the powerful harmonic components of engine noise by adaptive filtering which utilizes the known rpm signal available on the CAN bus in modern cars. The procedure can be used as a preprocessing method for classical broad-band noise reduction as it is able to cancel the engine noise – and thus a ...

This work is a preliminary study which focused on subjective improvements of vehicle interior noise by using active noise control techniques. A local active noise control system has been mounted inside a room in order to reduce synthesized and real engine noise in the area around the headrest of a typical car seat. Recordings before and after cancellation have been made using a Head Acoustics m...

This paper presents a neural network based artificial vision system able to analyze the image of a car given by a camera, locate the registration plate and recognize the registration number of the car. The paper describes in detail various practical problems encountered in implementing this particular application and the solutions used to solve them. The main features of the system presented ar...

The amount of online information in Chinese and the number of Chinese Internet users have been increasing tremendously during the past decade. Since Chinese language is significantly different from English, techniques that have been developed for retrieving information from English Web documents cannot be directly applied to retrieve information from Chinese Web documents. In order to provide h...

This paper presents the generic concept of using cloud-based intelligent car parking services in smart cities as an important application of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. This type of services will become an integral part of a generic IoT operational platform for smart cities due to its pure business-oriented features. A high-level view of the proposed middleware is outlined and the co...
