Oil production in Indonesia continues to experience a decline in production every year, while the amount of consumption is increasing every year due to the ever-increasing number of vehicles which causes oil and oil prices to soar. One way to reduce the use of fossil fuels is to use alternative fuels such as ethanol and use spark plugs that can reduce fuel consumption from the ignition system. …
Spoiler is one of the important components in cars that affects aerodynamic phenomena in cars, functioning to increase downforce in cars to reduce the lifting force arising from high speeds. This study aims to determine the influence of spoiler shape and angle on drag coefficients on vehicles, find out the comparison of drag coefficient values from CFD simulation, and determine the best configu…
Sriwijaya eco is an energy efficient car team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sriwijaya University who annually participates in the Energy Saving Car Contest (KMHE), where for the next race Sriwijaya eco is designing an electric prototype vehicle. One of the components designed is the steering system and transmission system. The purpose of the design of the steering system in thi…
Electric cars have become a hot topic of discussion in the community because they are considered to have the potential to be developed into future vehicles. In this study, namely designing and analyzing the framework of the Samaratungga electric prototype vehicle, applying carbon fiber materials to the frame and conducting simulations using the Solidwork 2020 application to find out static load…
As smart vehicle technology develops, an autonomous electric vehicle is invented. The vehicle must be equipped with various sensors, one of which is a camera, which is working by providing visual input that is used to detect objects around the autonomous electric vehicle. Currently, there is no method that can be implemented in real time, so this research uses the YOLO (You Only Look Once) algo…
Pertumbuhan kendaraan bermotor di Indonesia terus meningkat, sehingga dapat meningkatkan jumlah pemakaian bahan bakar dan emisi gas buang yang dihasilkan mengakibatkan meningkatnya polusi udara. Salah satu upaya untuk mengatasi emisi gas buang adalah menggunakan catalytic converter. Catalytic converter adalah perangkat kontrol emisi kendaraan yang mengubah polutan beracun seperti CO, HC, dan NO…
