  • Development of Airbag System for Kei Cars
    Development of Airbag System for Kei Cars Shinya TAKAHASHI Akira SHIODE Shogo MIYAMOTO Shusaku KURODA Abstract Recently, kei cars have drawn attention in the car market in Japan due to economic efficiency. Thus, the safety technology against collisions and protection equipment for occupants in those cars are increasingly improved. FUJITSU TEN has developed and mass-produced airbag ECUs for ordinary-sized vehicles for more than 20 years. In order to meet the needs of a wider range of customers, this time, we developed a new platform for kei cars. When making proposals to new customers, we need to propose an airbag system for an entire car, instead of ECUs as its part. Therefore, we had to develop a comprehensive technology including an impact determination technology and satellite sensors for the entire car. This paper elaborates on some major points of our engineering development for kei cars. 34 Development of Airbag System for Kei Cars 1 Introduction1. Introduction sors on the front and sides of the vehicle.

  • Changes of Japanese Consumer Preference for Electric Vehicles
    World Electric Vehicle Journal Vol. 4 - ISSN 2032-6653 - © 2010 WEVA Page000880 EVS25 Shenzhen, China, Nov 5-9, 2010 Changes of Japanese Consumer Preference for Electric Vehicles Yuki Kudoh1, Ryoko Motose1 1Research Institute of Science for Safety and Sustainability, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology 16-1 Onogawa, Tsukuba 305-8569 Japan, [email protected] Abstract Changes of Japanese consumer preference for electric vehicles (EVs) with new EV commercialisation and subsidy implementation has been quantitatively evaluated by applying conjoint analysis to the respondents choice experiment data collected by internet questionnaire survey that have been conducted in February 2009 and 2010. Powertrains (battery electric vehicle (BEV), gasoline hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and gasoline plug-in HEV (PHEV)), vehicle price, vehicle range, driving cost and passenger capacity have been chosen as attributes of vehicles and marginal utility and its monetary measure of each attribute have been calculated by setting the gasoline vehicle (GV) with typical specifications as baseline. The estimated results indicate that the vehicle range of BEVs under the current battery technology level lead to utility decline and that those EVs with fewer seats by mounting devices for electric driving would not be accepted by consumers. In terms of powertrain selection, consumers express strong preference for HEVs, whereas for BEVs and PHEVs they express low / negative preference or hold their judgment for choosing. From the comparison of the estimated marginal utilities for powertrain in 2009 and 2010, significant statistical differences are found for HEVs and Kei passenger type BEVs. Moreover, it is confirmed that implementation of has played an important role to enhance consciousness of HEVs and Kei passenger type BEVs as environmentally friendly vehicles.

  • Powered Light Vehicles
    Powered Light Vehicles: Opportunities for Low Carbon ‘L-Category’ Vehicles in the UK The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership was established in 2003 to accelerate the shift to lower carbon vehicles and fuels and create opportunities for UK businesses. It is a public-private partnership with approximately 200-member organisations from diverse backgrounds including automotive and fuel supply chains, vehicle users, academics and environmental groups. The LowCVP with its members play a key role in helping influence government strategy to deliver its low carbon road transport mandate. With growing interest in the field, LowCVP formed a consortium of stakeholders, bringing together a range of interested parties over the years to impartially assess the potential opportunities and actions required for L-Category “Powered Light Vehicles” (PLVs) to penetrate the UK transport market. The consortium members are: Dr Paul Nieuwenhuis Centre for Automotive Industry Research & EV Centre of Excellence, Cardiff University Dr Christophe Bastien Research Institute for Future Transport and Cities, Dr Huw Davies Coventry University Prof. Kambiz Ebrahimi and Mr Simon Bailey Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering, Loughborough University Prof. Allan Hutchinson Faculty of Technology, Design and Environment, Oxford Brookes University Mr Jonathan Murray The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership Dr Aoife Foley and Mr Michael Treanor School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Queens’ University Belfast Dr Richard Barrett Civil Engineering and Industrial Design, The University
