Ford automated steering combined by automatic parking technology
Dearborn , - Ford make it more perfect for automated steering combined by automatic parking technology.
To make the car more safely - prevent collisions - Ford yesterday demonstrated the latest technology that can avoid obstacles . This technology allows the car to automatically turn the steering wheel and brake automatically . In this way , the car is expected to prevent a collision with a car that runs slowly or stops at the front .
According to Ford , the test together with the automatic parking technology . Later , this technology was developed into a car that can drive itself or otonomos . For parking systems , car owner parked his car just by touching a button or remote control .
Added , the prototype of this technology is Bluepirnt for Ford Mobility for the future with the target , increase safety and reduce clutter in the intersection .
Edge Concept
Testing or demonstration using a Ford Edge Concept that debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show last month . This technology is a continuation of the parking system assists ( assists ) which is offered in several models of Ford around the world . In Indonesia , a model that uses the parking assistant system is Focus .
Also described , this technology was developed over a four -year research project called interative ( Accident Avoidance by Avitve Intervention of Intelligent Vehicle ) with the support of 29 companies that form a consortium with Ford .
Demo tracks yesterday conducted in Ford's Dearborn Development Center , Michigan . While in Europe , the Ford Research and development facilities , Aachen , Germany using the Focus .
How it Works
The obstacle avoidance works by using three radar , ultrasonic sensors and cameras to scan the road up to 200 meters ahead . If the system detects an object moving slowly or stationary , the first step , the car will menayanbgkan warning , followed by the sound of bells .
If the driver is not also turned the car or brake , the brake system will activate , scan both sides of the gap between road car with power steering and controlling work ( perpetually controlled electronically ) to avoid a collision .
The test is passed at a speed of 60 kph, using sensors and control technology park assistant full Baruj introduced . Parking assistant full , to park the car , the owner simply by touching malalui Timbol or remote control . The driver also no longer need to control the brake and gas pedal and change gear !
With tekniologi full parking assistant , car owners can park the car in the perpendicular space using ultrasonic sensors . From the inside , the driver simply presses a button to activate the system , sedangn when outside , activated via remote control .
The last way is helpful when the car is parked a narrow space , the door can not be opened wide . In order for the car out , the parking assistant is activated and after the exit , the owner can ride .

Meeting target of 400 Hydrogen Filling Station
Paris -Is it possible Meeting target of 400 Hydrogen Filling Station to French? I hope so. It could be one decades again to achieve the target.
The French gas management company , Air Liquide SA began working on Hydrogen Filling Station business . At present , the company has built more than 60 locations around the world and started a new cooperation with Linde AG to add a new network in Germany , from 15 to 100 locations by 2017 . In 2023 is targeted to reach 400 locations .
" For regions such as Germany and France , it takes at least 1,000 locations . Fund about 10 billion euros needed to build infrastructure in Europe , " said Pierre - Etienne Franc , Head of Future Business and Technology reported by Bloomberg ( 10/12/2013 ) .
Fuel Cells
Air Liquide SA rate, the need will increase with the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technology . In addition to environmentally friendly , this technology is considered more close to reality and friendlier to the environment than a pure electric car .
Franck Pichot , Marketing Director Hyundai said total sales of fuel cell cars will reach tens of thousands in France in 2025 . Moreover, if global oil prices continue to rise , alternative energy vehicles are increasingly sought after .
" In the long run , good in five , 10 and 20 years into the future , we will move to fuel cell technology or choose burned earth . If you want to choose eco-friendly transportation , there is no other option . Production of fuel cells ' bio -fuel ' would not be enough , the battery will not be able to offer the absolute autonomy , and hybrids do not resolve the problem , "said Franc .
Developed countries such as Germany , Japan and the United States are currently creating initiatives to encourage the development of infrastructure in the region SPH . Every one who originally took SPH capital of 1 million euros , could be cheaper trimmed to just 800,000 euros .
Until now , car fuel cell technology is still very little and labeled premium and expensive although cheaper maintenance costs .
" Maybe later when the price of gasoline 2 to 2.5 euros per liter , fuel cells searched , " said Pichot .
It's recommended to you about this Anti-theft features on the car
Cars are expensive and we should need to be careful. Thus, It's recommended to you about this Anti-theft features on the car
Car theft planter all season . It never runs out even though the police had arrested many syndicates . The safest thing is to take anticipatory measures . Although not 100 percent safe , but at least there is an attempt to complicate and prolong the action of thieves .
If the anti-theft features on the car are still not enough , many sellers of aftermarket products that provide a variety of anti-theft accessories . Broadly speaking , some reliable sources disclose as follows :
Locks steering wheel and pedals
This is the usual conventional accessory mounted on the steering wheel . Usually shaped steel bar mounted transversely so that the wheel can not be moved . In many accessory stores , sold under various specifications . Evolving , there are different types of locks that bind pedals or tires .
immobilizer
This feature can be more effective . That is why a number of new cars have this feature which is connected directly with the ignition key . Mechanism , working electronically with the matching code in the key code stored in the Electronic Control Unit ( ECU ) in the car . Using keys in addition to the original key , the engine will not be turned on .
If your car is not equipped with an immobilizer , do not worry . Many workshops electrical expert who can install the system that a particular cut off electricity . For example , cut off electricity to the gas station . Because there is no gasoline flowing into the combustion chamber , the engine will not be lit .
Car alarms
Many sellers of car alarms , ranging from low price to the most sophisticated and very expensive . But remember , sometimes the sound of the alarm itself with no apparent cause . As a result , many people do not care about the alarm goes off because it is already commonplace .
GPS tracking and mobile
Cars equipped with special equipment that is connected to the satellite . This device will emit a signal to the satellite so that the position of the car can be monitored . Most recently , a tool that works with the GPS system but it can be controlled via mobile phone . When the car was taken away , the owner can turn off the car by simply calling or sending messages .

Intelligent Driver-support System embedded in Toyota Lexus GS 450h
Tokyo ,It looks so enthuasias to bring Intelligent Driver-support System embedded into Toyota Lexus GS 450h.
Toyota Motor Corporation ( TMC ) to make sure to show off the latest technology , a kind of " auto pilot " like on an airplane , at the Tokyo Motor Show 2013 , which opened on Wednesday ( 20/11/2013 ) .journalists had a chance to feel the sensation of this technology while driving the Lexus GS 450h .
Smart Driver Support System ( Intelligent Driver - Support System ) was created to minimize the rate of road deaths . Toyota describes as the Toyota Automated Highway Driving Assist . " This technology was created just for driving on the highway alone , " said Masahiro Fujita TMC Assistant Manager Industrial Engineering at the sidelines of a test drive on Tuesday ( 19/11/2013 ) .
Road markings
The first system is practiced , Lane Trace Control ( LTC ) where the vehicle can keep the vehicle remains on the right track . Utilizing the available road markings on the highway . Without having to touch the steering wheel , the car follows the line of dotted white line on the street . Fine-tune the position of the car if a little tight to the left or to the right .
Second , the system practiced Cooperative - adaptive Cruise Control ( C - ACC ) . This system works in conjunction with the LTC . Its function is to monitor the speed or slowing vehicle in front of you . So a vehicle that has the same technology can be connected to each other and exchange information . Obeying the road could trooped in front of the pace car . " You can choose how the distance to the car in front , whether 1 second , 1.5 seconds or two seconds , " said Masahiro .
During this operating system , not the driver's hands on the steering wheel and foot off of the gas pedal . Vehicles can go hand in hand with neat . In fact , when the front car braked , the car was also slow down . " But , when the technology is in operation the driver should still be alert to road conditions . When you want to change lanes , control must be returned to the hands of the driver . Includes when the exit of the motorway , " beber Masahiro .
The planning for 2017 or 2018
Toyota plans to soon release the C - ACC technology on the market , ranging from the premium vehicle segment for the Japanese domestic market . " The plan , in 2017 or 2018. For Lexus in Japan , " said Masahiro .
With this technology , is expected to assist the driver in order to be safe on the road . In addition , when testing claimed C - ACC technology could improve fuel use , being able to eliminate the acceleration and deceleration of vehicles that are not required when on the highway .
It looks like the technology is still far effectively used . The reason , need the support infrastructure , such as roads or markings complete , which until now could not be guaranteed by our government . If the infrastructure is complete , the presidential motorcade seemed to also utilize this technology to keep your distance and speed of the vehicle series whose length can be more than 10 cars !

Feeling the previlege of Ford's new trademark with the technology package
Find your automotive passion and Feeling the previlege of Ford's new trademark with the technology package to your daily life.
EcoBoost is Ford's new trademark with the technology package consists of a Direct Injection , Turbocharger and Ti - VCT ( open-close and high-lift valve which can vary ) ! With the package , engine performance can be improved . For example, the 1.0 -liter EcoBoost engine capability together with a non - EcoBoost 1.6 liter ( non- turbo , using the injection port or indirectly ) .
Ford EcoBoost engine package consisting of various capacities , including a 1.0 -liter ( 3 - cylinder ) , 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter ( 4 cylinder ) and the largest is the 3.5 -liter , V6 . This strategy was chosen before heading to Ford for hybrid cars with more expensive and complicated technology . In this way , the price of the car is sold to the consumer will be more affordable but relatively more efficient and carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) is low .
EcoBoost is actually the same as the strategy that has been done by other brands , such as Mazda with SKYACTIV , with EfficientDynamics BMW , Mercedes - Benz BlueEFFICIENCY through and by the VW BlueMotion .
3 cylinders
Engine with direct injection system , turbocharger , for the 1.0-liter 3-cylinder is no longer a new technology in the automotive realm . The combination of direct injection engine plus turbocharger has been used by the German cars sold in Indonesia , among others, BMW and Mercedes - Benz , Audi and VW . Japanese brands are also there which use direct injection , which is Mazda Skyactiv technology package . Most brands , Japan , such as Toyota and Honda also uses direct injection technology !
For the 3 - cylinder , already used by the cheapest car ( LCGC ) in Indonesia , namely Toyota and Daihatsu Agya Ayla . The difference, yet without using direct injection and a turbocharger . Even Daihatsu 3-cylinder engine has been using since the 1980s in Indonesia .
vibration
3 cylinder engine , the vibrations louder than the 4 -cylinder . Because the imbalance due to an odd number of pistons at work . The first two cylinders can be balanced , but one cylinder again myself ! This can lead to an imbalance and vibration !
To eliminate vibration , mechanical engineers install ballast weights or " counter balance / weight" . But Ford said , do not choose this way . The reason , ballast weights will increase the weight of the machine . Ford let alone , however, makes flywheel or clutch with a special design ( given reducer ) and use -in - oil belt drive . In this way , Ford claims , 3 cylinder engine vibration was not until " mengoncang " car and its passengers .
Number of Components
With a three- cylinder , Ford expects the number of components used less, while reducing the inter - component machines . The reason this is unacceptable! DOHC 4 - valve per cylinder , 16 valve has confirmed ( also had 16 per ) , the trigger valve ( rocker arm ) , 16 nok ( cam ) , 4 piston with rings , 4 piston , crankshaft journals 4 .
Compare this with the 3 -cylinder engine , it only took 12 valves . 12 trigger , 3 - piston and ring , 3 and 3 piston crankshaft journal . As the number of components is reduced , so the engine is lighter . So is friction between components . This concept is only used for the 1.0 -liter engine , while the 1.6 -liter , 4 -cylinder fixed !
Direct injection
Now this is the transition of technology from an indirect injection system or port injection ( PI ) system to direct injection ( DI ) . Ford also call this direct injection with Spark Ignition Direct Injection ( SIDI ) . While other brands call it Gasoline Direct Injection ( GDI ) .
At PI , injectors mounted near the suction or suction valve hole . Thus , no gasoline is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber or cylinder . As a result , the possibility of gasoline evaporates or is not 100 percent up to the combustion chamber , very large . While the DI injector is in the combustion chamber .
Gasoline is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber , such as a diesel engine ( piston head is made hollow as the combustion chamber ) . For this , a very high -pressure injector should ( because the pressure inside the engine too high ) . Injektornyan also very sophisticated ( now using piezoelekttrik ) who worked very precise . While the resulting pressure fuel pump can reach 200 bar or 2,900 psi . Well , as a comparison , or PI indirect injection , fuel pump pressure 85 psi highest .
With the high pressure , the resulting fog better ! The opening is also more apt to occur . The amount of gasoline that is sprayed can be reduced ( thin ) remains the optimal burning . Also the fuel is sprayed can be determined based on the needs engine number . For example , to generate torque in the rev range 1400-4500 rpm .
With DI and turbo , petrol can match the performance of a diesel engine at low speed ( generating greater torque ) and maintain it until the round was . With this addition , the turbo can be quickly activated . In PI , the turbo started working at 2,500 rpm so often happens " turbo lag " ( the same as the carburetor ) .
Even now , with the direct injection system , the engineers have managed to make gasoline engines without having to use a spark plug to produce combustion . Now , the air is compressed until the pressure is coupled with the hot exhaust gases , then sprayed gasoline , direct combustion . Same with the workings of a diesel engine which produces work more efficiently .
turbo-
Turbo is a tool to suck in outside air at once forced her into mesin.Untuk operate turbo , exhaust gases utilized generated by the engine . So the new turbo works after the engine exhaust gas with high enough pressure .
Kalaumesin only use suction power when the piston moves to the bottom dead center ( BDC ) , the amount of air to the combustion chamber is limited because it faces many hurdles . Well , when air is sucked from the outside , then forced into the gasoline , the number or density will be more ( solid ) .
With more density ( solid ) , fuel can also be sprayed more . Combustion will mengahsilkan greater heat energy . If you have this , so the car accelerates faster , no need to press the gas pedal deeper . Few had gained more power more efficiently alias .
Actually there are other factors that determine the outcome of better combustion or optimal , ie the resulting sparks plugs ( including the condition and quality of spark plugs ) and fuel quality ( octane rating ) .
octane
Fuel quality is often associated with an octane rating or Reswearch Octan ( RON. Actually , octane ( used to use lead atgau lead ) , his duty to prevent gasoline burn faster . Higher the RON , the more difficult to burn gasoline . Lho ?
When flammable gas would be very detrimental . For example , when the piston reaches top dead point yet ( TDC on the compression stroke ) , gasoline burns himself because the surrounding temperature has reached the point of combustion . These conditions there is a mention seb agai pre - ignition or premature ignition . There is also when autoignition ( ignition occurs alone ) . Precisely , ignition or combustion occurs before the spark plugs fire flower !
Consequently , should the piston toward the TMA , TMB may be pushed back due to premature ignition or combustion . Because of pressure or explosion resulting very large , large ( spontaneous and uncontrolled ) , can damage the piston and valve ( part closest ) .
The best ignition timing , occurs a few degrees before the piston reaches TDC ( depending on compression ratio ) . The closer to the TDC of course better because it will be more efficient combustion . But this is necessary for higher octane .
Gasoline engine with direct injection can now work with a compression ratio of 14,7:1 ( petrol Skyactiv Mazda ) . But the fuel quality is not the same in every country , usually adjusted again , generally lower .
In fact , for engines equipped with turbochargers , must be lowered again ( because of the air pressure in the higher engine ) . For the 1.0 -liter EcoBoost engine , according to Robert Sharpless , Manager Poweretrain Control , Calibration and NVH for Ford Asia Pacific , because it has a turbo , a compression ratio of 10 : 1 .
EcoBoost is Ford's new trademark with the technology package consists of a Direct Injection , Turbocharger and Ti - VCT ( open-close and high-lift valve which can vary ) ! With the package , engine performance can be improved . For example, the 1.0 -liter EcoBoost engine capability together with a non - EcoBoost 1.6 liter ( non- turbo , using the injection port or indirectly ) .
Ford EcoBoost engine package consisting of various capacities , including a 1.0 -liter ( 3 - cylinder ) , 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter ( 4 cylinder ) and the largest is the 3.5 -liter , V6 . This strategy was chosen before heading to Ford for hybrid cars with more expensive and complicated technology . In this way , the price of the car is sold to the consumer will be more affordable but relatively more efficient and carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) is low .
EcoBoost is actually the same as the strategy that has been done by other brands , such as Mazda with SKYACTIV , with EfficientDynamics BMW , Mercedes - Benz BlueEFFICIENCY through and by the VW BlueMotion .
3 cylinders
Engine with direct injection system , turbocharger , for the 1.0-liter 3-cylinder is no longer a new technology in the automotive realm . The combination of direct injection engine plus turbocharger has been used by the German cars sold in Indonesia , among others, BMW and Mercedes - Benz , Audi and VW . Japanese brands are also there which use direct injection , which is Mazda Skyactiv technology package . Most brands , Japan , such as Toyota and Honda also uses direct injection technology !
For the 3 - cylinder , already used by the cheapest car ( LCGC ) in Indonesia , namely Toyota and Daihatsu Agya Ayla . The difference, yet without using direct injection and a turbocharger . Even Daihatsu 3-cylinder engine has been using since the 1980s in Indonesia .
vibration
3 cylinder engine , the vibrations louder than the 4 -cylinder . Because the imbalance due to an odd number of pistons at work . The first two cylinders can be balanced , but one cylinder again myself ! This can lead to an imbalance and vibration !
To eliminate vibration , mechanical engineers install ballast weights or " counter balance / weight" . But Ford said , do not choose this way . The reason , ballast weights will increase the weight of the machine . Ford let alone , however, makes flywheel or clutch with a special design ( given reducer ) and use -in - oil belt drive . In this way , Ford claims , 3 cylinder engine vibration was not until " mengoncang " car and its passengers .
Number of Components
With a three- cylinder , Ford expects the number of components used less, while reducing the inter - component machines . The reason this is unacceptable! DOHC 4 - valve per cylinder , 16 valve has confirmed ( also had 16 per ) , the trigger valve ( rocker arm ) , 16 nok ( cam ) , 4 piston with rings , 4 piston , crankshaft journals 4 .
Compare this with the 3 -cylinder engine , it only took 12 valves . 12 trigger , 3 - piston and ring , 3 and 3 piston crankshaft journal . As the number of components is reduced , so the engine is lighter . So is friction between components . This concept is only used for the 1.0 -liter engine , while the 1.6 -liter , 4 -cylinder fixed !
Direct injection
Now this is the transition of technology from an indirect injection system or port injection ( PI ) system to direct injection ( DI ) . Ford also call this direct injection with Spark Ignition Direct Injection ( SIDI ) . While other brands call it Gasoline Direct Injection ( GDI ) .
At PI , injectors mounted near the suction or suction valve hole . Thus , no gasoline is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber or cylinder . As a result , the possibility of gasoline evaporates or is not 100 percent up to the combustion chamber , very large . While the DI injector is in the combustion chamber .
Gasoline is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber , such as a diesel engine ( piston head is made hollow as the combustion chamber ) . For this , a very high -pressure injector should ( because the pressure inside the engine too high ) . Injektornyan also very sophisticated ( now using piezoelekttrik ) who worked very precise . While the resulting pressure fuel pump can reach 200 bar or 2,900 psi . Well , as a comparison , or PI indirect injection , fuel pump pressure 85 psi highest .
With the high pressure , the resulting fog better ! The opening is also more apt to occur . The amount of gasoline that is sprayed can be reduced ( thin ) remains the optimal burning . Also the fuel is sprayed can be determined based on the needs engine number . For example , to generate torque in the rev range 1400-4500 rpm .
With DI and turbo , petrol can match the performance of a diesel engine at low speed ( generating greater torque ) and maintain it until the round was . With this addition , the turbo can be quickly activated . In PI , the turbo started working at 2,500 rpm so often happens " turbo lag " ( the same as the carburetor ) .
Even now , with the direct injection system , the engineers have managed to make gasoline engines without having to use a spark plug to produce combustion . Now , the air is compressed until the pressure is coupled with the hot exhaust gases , then sprayed gasoline , direct combustion . Same with the workings of a diesel engine which produces work more efficiently .

This most recent automotive technology could be the most influential this decade
New York , - It was born not for long and that's otonomos. This most recent automotive technology could be the most influential this decade
Almost all the world 's manufacturers are competing to develop otonomos technology , making the car can drive itself with sophisticated computers . Although such a dream , a number of business people judge the world , this technology can already commercialized in 2025 .
The ability of this technology to avoid accidents will reduce insurance costs are expensive . In addition , the consumption of fuel -efficient cars because otonomos can prevent undue acceleration . Congestion at intersections can also be reduced because each car can communicate with each other .
The elderly users who are physically incapable stated again will not lose the right to drive a car . Meanwhile , less experienced young people can be safe , protected and cheaper insurance .
" In 2025 , otonomos car marketed globally . ( The technology ) is able to create a personal mobility revolution , allowing people to old bekendara , economical fuel consumption , and reduce accidents to zero , " wrote HSBC in a report launched Inautonews ( 2 / 12/2013 ) .
impact
On the other hand , the presence of this technology is expected to have a devastating effect on the company's cab . Mass transportation such as trains , buses , and short-haul flights will be left . People prefer the road that leads directly from the house at that location because it is more convenient to use the car 's own.
Lodging industry will also be subject to " sap " . If someone can drive day and night to pursue an important meeting in another city , he does not have to stop at the inn to sleep . This technology makes the car can work without a break .
IT industry as a developer of applications , in-car entertainment systems , will acquire new markets . Meanwhile , the radio and music business will lose a loyal listener . The pace car on the highway sooner if the technology is proven to be safe and able to reduce accidents .
" This is not a toy . Economic and social impacts are very diverse . Beyond practical benefits , we predict large -scale otonomos car will save 1.3 trillion dollars to the U.S. economy . Globally , bigger savings up to 5.6 trillion U.S. dollars , "said Morgan Stanley , a global financial institution based in Manhattan , New York .
Furthermore , if the car 's computerized system is running well , it looks more and more people keep silence in the car parked on the street corner . They will use the computers in the cabin for browsing .
" Non - automotive industry to be affected in this case , namely telecommunications , software , media , public transportation , semi - conductor , and insurance , " added Morgan Stanley .
Institute researchers Forst & Sullivans added , almost all automotive principals develop this technology . Mercedes - Benz , one of the leading , followed by other German brands , BMW and Volkswagen . The Toyota by Lexus is also preparing the same technology . Ford did not miss . So also with Google , they prepare themselves as supporting industries , not automotive manufacturers . Moreover , there are IBM and Cisco , which prepares the computer infrastructure .
