Adopted by Ferrari and VOLVO! We pursue vehicle dynamics evaluation, handling stability, ride comfort, and control development!

This document is the material presented during the "Automotive Technology Exhibition 2014" workshop held on May 23, 2014 (Friday). In recent years, driving simulators have begun to be utilized as a method for front-loading real vehicle experiments in the development process. This document includes information about Driving Simulators (DiM) for vehicle development, which seamlessly connects the two areas of experimentation and analysis. 【Main Contents】 ■ Current Status of Driving Simulators → DS (Driving Simulator) vs DiM (Driver in Motion) → Necessity of DS ■ Driver in Motion (DiM) → Key Technologies of DiM, etc. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

VI-Driver allows for the accurate evaluation of a vehicle's dynamic behavior by driving a virtual vehicle model through various operations.

Using detailed vehicle models is a prerequisite for obtaining accurate results, but it is not sufficient on its own. Vehicle models require precise physical driver models. This allows simulations to be conducted under conditions as close as possible to those on a test course. VI-Driver is the best commercially available driver model. It has been validated in numerous projects carried out by major OEMs and top racing teams in the global automotive industry. - State-of-the-art controllers for longitudinal and lateral control - Robust and precise path-following algorithms - Advanced management of all driver channels (steering, throttle, clutch, brake, and gear) Another significant feature is that VI-Driver can be used across a comprehensive set of tools, from concept to detailed design for Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop development.

In civil engineering sites, plywood is used for temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. Steel plates are common materials, but they tend to produce metallic sounds during vehicle passage and installation/removal, which can be a noise issue in construction near residential areas, schools, and hospitals. Hyper CLT plywood is a civil engineering CLT material that utilizes wood CLT. As wooden plywood, it can be used for mud prevention, ground protection, and ensuring work pathways, and its natural and soft texture helps create a different site environment compared to metal plates. The 5×10 plate weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 plate weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which reduces the burden of transportation, installation, and removal. Additionally, it is easy to use for proposals that consider glare reduction and environmental considerations, making it recommended for innovative public works. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," we can propose it to companies considering noise measures, wood, plywood, timber, civil engineering, and civil engineering CLT. It is also suitable for construction that emphasizes consideration for the surrounding area and for sites considering alternatives to steel plates. We also accept requests for materials and consultations on implementation. Please consider wooden plywood as an option for temporary plans that take into account urban construction and neighboring measures.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about not colliding with pedestrians when leaving the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those that face sidewalks or roadways are particularly prone to dangerous incidents, such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Departure Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surrounding area with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the departure warning system. *We kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be installed as an add-on, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repairs without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
