Project-Based Conversion Versus Prototype-Based Instruction In Automotive Teacher Education, Ramdhani Ramdhani, Sriyono Sriyono, Wahid Munawar, Raafi Rizki Maulana, Apriyansah Bahrudin

Jurnal Pendidikan: Teori, Penelitian, dan Pengembangan

The transition to electric and hydrogen mobility is reshaping the competencies that automotive vocational teaching requires, yet institutions with limited equipment must choose between authentic learning designs without evidence of what each produces. Indonesian research to date has built substitute learning media and reported feasibility ratings rather than measured learning. This study asks what cognitive and psychomotor gains two contrasting designs produce and how those gains compare. Two pre-experimental studies were conducted in one automotive teacher education programme in Indonesia. Study A used a time-series design across three project cycles of 200 minutes in which 15 undergraduates converted a combustion …

Adaptive – Compositional Method For Coordinating Subsystems At Different Levels In Hierarchical Control Systems, Husan Zakirovich Igamberdiyev, Uktam Farxodovich Mamirov Mr, Inomjon Ilxom Ugli Abdukaxxarov Mr

Technical science and innovation

This paper examines the problem of synthesizing algorithms for the composition of subsystems at various levels within complex hierarchical control systems under conditions of uncertainty and resource constraints. It is demonstrated that classical composition algorithms, which rely on the intersection of admissible sets and the use of local optimality criteria, suffer from several significant drawbacks. These include a combinatorial increase in complexity, dependence on the expert selection of parameters, and limited applicability in dynamic environments. To overcome these shortcomings, an adaptive-compositional method is proposed. This method is based on the dynamic recalculation of coordination parameters, the integration of model predictive …

Optimizing Controller Speed And Torque To Reduce Drivetrain Stress, Selene J. Welch

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

This project investigates how torque delivery from the motor controller affects mechanical stress on the rear freewheel ratchet mechanism of a three-wheel electric race car. Excessive initial torque has caused accelerated wear and tear on the ratchet mechanism, reducing drivetrain reliability during Kansas ElectroRally competitions. Preliminary testing showed that slower, gradual acceleration prevented malfunction and allowed the vehicle to maintain top speed reliably. Prior research shows that torque-control strategies strongly influence electric-drive performance. Current research focuses on optimizing the controller’s torque and speed using the Alltrax Software ToolKit to reduce drivetrain tension while preserving the car’s performance capabilities.

Markov-Modulated Queueing Network For Mobile Traffic Aggregation With Threshold-Controlled Buffers, Anton A. Esin, Elmira Yu. Kalimulina

Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Simulation with Applications

We study the problem of data transmission from mobile platforms operating in high-speed transit between cellular base stations, under conditions of unstable and intermittent connectivity. Conventional queueing and connectivity models often fail to capture the combined effects of rapidly changing signal conditions, finite buffer capacity, and dynamic topology. We aim to develop a tractable yet expressive model that integrates stochastic link availability, queue dynamics, and buffer control. We propose a mathematical framework based on queues whose service intensities are modulated by a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) representing signal conditions along a high-speed trajectory. The core subsystem is a two-stage (aggregation …

Control Strategies For 6-Dof Quadcopter Uavs: Cascade Pid Stabilization In White Noise Conditions, An Vo Van, Hung Ha Duy

Makara Journal of Technology

In this study, a cascade PID control structure is proposed and implemented for a 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to enhance stability and trajectory tracking capabilities under both noise and non-noise conditions. The controller was designed based on the Tyreus–Luyben tuning method and was evaluated using quantitative metrics, including rise time, settling time, overshoot, and steady-state error. Simulation results on MATLAB/Simulink show that the controller achieves high performance in angular channels (ϕ, θ, ψ) and altitude (z) with a short rise time (< 2s), slight overshoot (< 1%), and nearly eliminated steady-state error. However, the horizontal position channels (x, y) have a longer settling time (~110s) and are sensitive to white noise. Quantitative comparisons with other control methods show that the cascade PID outperforms the standard PID in terms of accuracy and stability, achieving a performance comparable to LQR under noise-free conditions, but is less robust in the presence of noise than advanced methods like SMC and MPC. These results confirm the feasibility of cascade PID in UAV applications and indicate potential future improvements by integrating nonlinear, adaptive, or intelligent control strategies.

Experimental Investigation On The Effect Of Using Gasoline With Commercial Additives On Spark Ignition Engines Performance And Emissions Characteristic, Medhat Elkelawy Prof. Dr, Eng., E. A. El Shenawy Prof. Dr., Hagar Alm-Eldin Bastawissi, Emad Mostafa Eng.

Journal of Engineering Research

Gasoline is the primary source of energy in combustion engines, despite some drawbacks, such as knocking inside the engine, incomplete combustion, and the production of high emissions. The main trend has been toward the use of chemical additives as improvers, including oxidizing additives and aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. Both additives have an effect on the combustion process. Oxidizing additives improve the combustion process inside the chamber by adding additional oxygen to the fuel, which helps accelerate flame propagation, such as ethanol and oleo-octane plus. On the other hand, aromatic additives are used to increase the octane number, which in turn enhances …
