  • The Lexus Range Experience Amazing
    THE LEXUS RANGE EXPERIENCE AMAZING Since the launch of the LS 400 sedan in 1989, Lexus has become a synonym for exceptional quality and incredibly refined luxury cars. Determined to offer more than this, recently we’ve launched a new generation of vehicles: cars that stand out from the crowd and defy convention. Models like the exciting new UX compact crossover and the provocative yet elegant ES executive sedan. Based on a uniquely Japanese aesthetic of harmony without compromise, Lexus design is now more distinctive and single-minded than ever. However, head turning looks would be nothing without incredible performance. Inspired by the iconic Lexus LFA supercar that was launched in 2010, our ‘Master Drivers’, have worked tirelessly to identify and articulate the unique flavour of driving excitement. With this hard won knowledge we’ve now enhanced the precise and elegant nature of every Lexus with a sizeable dose of adrenaline: creating an exhilarating new driving experience that starts when you approach a car like the LC luxury coupé, and continues as long as you drive and cherish it. Unsurprisingly, technology plays a huge role in our work. We see innovation as a never-ending process, and are committed to anticipating future needs and desires. This approach has led to major automotive breakthroughs like the world’s first Self-Charging Hybrid in 2004 – the RX 400h – and now Multi Stage Hybrid that powers the LS 500h and LC 500h. Despite our intense focus on the future, we’re immensely proud of the world-class build quality of our cars, which is overseen by our ‘Takumi’ artisans.

But it did not reduce the improving performance of transmission system thereby sale of two wheeler manual transmission. Many two wheeler improving gearshift quality. This also includes reducing the manufacturing companies have produced two wheelers for amount of clutch operations and repeated gear shifting efforts both automatic and manual transmission. A transmission in manual transmission. Automated transmission systems are essentially transfers the power to drive shaft and wheels developed which has advantage over a Manual Transmission from a bike engine. The gears in the transmission change the (MT). They are more efficient than manual transmission speed and torque of the drive wheel in relation to the speed Therefore, automated gear shifting system not only reduces and torque of the engine (pulling power), lower gear ratios accidents, but also increases engine and fuel efficiency. With help the engine build up enough power so that it can easily improved technology for refinement, gear shifting quality has accelerate from a stop. The transmission is a device become one of the most important design criteria for any connected to the engine's back and transmitting power from transmission system, reducing gear shifting efforts and the engine to the wheels of the drive.

  • The Bcd Model for Biomechanical Application
    THE BCD MODEL FOR BIOMECHANICAL APPLICATION F. Robache*, H. Morvan*, P. Polet**, M.-P. Pacaux-Lemoine**, F. Vanderhaegen** * LAMIH- Human-machine Systems Team ** LAMIH – Biomechanical Team UVHC – UMR CNRS 8530 – LE MONT HOUY 59313 Valenciennes Cedex 9 – France email : {frederic.robache; herve.morvan; ppolet;marie-pierre.lemoine ; vanderhaegen}@univ-valenciennes.fr Abstract For years, automotive engineers have been working to improve vehicle safety by using dummies, human corpses and animals to test safety systems. However, in most cases, crash tests do not consider drivers differences, much less their reactions. In reality, no one can make real crash tests with living drivers. Current approach is to simulate crashes using a driving simulator to analyze driver’s behaviour, especially before and during a crash incident. A campaign was organized on a static simulator, during which 40 subjects were asked to drive a 50- kilometer runway and finally were exposed to a virtual crash. Some driver pre-crash positions are analysed with numerical simulations, reproducing the situation of a head-on collision at about 50km/h. The results of runs highlight critical situations which could lead to serious injuries. Designers provide their car with protective barriers. These barriers are efficient if some postural condition are respected. This paper describes most particularly how we used a BCD approach to understand why drivers land up in critical position at the time of pre-crash. The goal of this study is to purpose a framework in order to describe and analyse the consequences of a deviated behaviour faced protective barriers such as air bag. Keywords : Biomechanics, BCD model, Safety, Car driver, Crash 1 Introduction The BCD approach was initially based on indicators that assess the consequences of deviated human behaviours on several criteria.
