Recently the Thai industry has continually grown up and also plays a role to economic growth in the country which affects the many of automotive components to be in the market. While the degeneration and waste of automotive components had increased as well. Therefore a car hood is one of the automotive parts which damage from the accident. Consequently the researchers have created a prototype material to develop into the car hood which made from the husk and water hyacinth. The random mixture of water hyacinth and husk was attempted to more than 3 ingredients. By forming a flat plate with thickness between 1 to 3 millimeters was used as prototype of the car hood material in this research. Thus the mechanical properties such as compressing and bending test were attempted to by the universal testing machine. The results showed that using resin as a binder material (Reinforced resin by water hyacinth and husk) will have the less ability of energy absorption. While using polymers as a binder (Polymer resin by water hyacinth and husk) will have the better ability of energy absorption. The properly mixture between water hyacinth and husk referred to the energy absorbing properties is 50:50 because the least linear stiffness is 1.087 N/mm. Besides the ability of energy absorption is 1612444 J/m3 which is property of this ingredient can reduce the severity of the impact in the event of pedestrians collision in the best.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the heat transfer and the vibration characteristics caused by front and back vented brake disc which had physically different shapes affecting braking distance. In accordance with the theory of heat transfer the heat transfer rates of two types of brake disc were different and played an important role in the deformation during usage. The single dynamometer was conducted to the experimental work as an engineering tool with boundary conditions according to JASO C406 standard. One degree of freedom (DOF) acceleration signals on the brake caliper were analyzed. The results obviously discovered that the back vented brake disc was able to reduce the vibration up to 43.5% comparing to the front vented brake disc in case of the braking temperature 200C initial breaking speed 50 km/h and the hydraulic pressure of 4 MPa. Besides the hydraulic pressure at 4 MPa generated the maximum vibration. Furthermore the initial braking speed and the braking temperature were also the important factors. Regarding braking distance results the results of the experimental work obviously discovered that the back vented brake disc created braking distance shorter than front vented brake disc. Besides there were important factors as braking temperature hydraulic pressure and initial speed of braking. Especially the high braking temperature caused an increase of deceleration and a decrease of braking distance. Moreover the high hydraulic pressure produced a deduction of braking distance and an increase of deceleration. Finally the initial speed of braking directly varied to the braking distance

The aim of this research is to study the varieties of weight density distribution affect to the center of mass and vehicle stability. The weight density distribution tester was designed and changed the position of mass. Base on the center of mass is main points of vehicle stability. On the other hand FMCSA standard was applied to field test for considering of the brake performance and vehicle stability. The results of research discovered to the mass distribution on longitudinal plane are affected to the center of mass and absolutely influence at the right wheel on the front axle. In term of the braking performance it’s depends on the lateral mass distribution especially the center position of mass installed on longitudinal and horizontal plane and close up on the front axle (Y2). For the vehicle stability results the position (Y2) is the highest influence for yaw rate and sideslip. Otherwise the position (Y3) or the position of mass installed on longitudinal plane and nearly at the left wheel on the rear axle. Additionally wheel lock-up condition was appeared on the front axle only. Because the behavior of weight distribution on the front axle was decreased lead to mass distribution on longitudinal plane.

Nowadays the automotive parts industry greatly grows up in Thailand. Brake disc is one of products that play a role in safety area. As a result the various designs such as front and back-vented brake discs are occurred to improve the performance of usability. Consequently this study aims to develop the ability of braking dynamometer from 9.7 kg-m.1 kg-m. Moreover the influence of the front and the back-vented brake disc effecting on braking distance was investigated by single dynamometer referenced JASO C406 for testing condition. Therefore both of discs were operated under 100 200 and 300 °C of braking temperature and 2 4 and 6 MPa of line hydraulic pressure of braking. 2 to 1272 of moment of inertial From experimental works the test results reflected that the back-vented brake disc created braking distance shorter than front-vented brake disc ostensibly. Besides there are also diversity of factors as temperature pressure and initial speed of braking. Especially the higher temperature caused an increase of deceleration and a decrease of braking distance. Moreover the higher pressure produced a deduction of braking distance and a rise of deceleration. Finally the initial speed of braking was directly various the braking distances in same condition.

Nowadays car is one of important factors for the human life whereas critical traffic dramatically effects on risk of accident between cars and pedestrians. Therefore the road accident is the enormous loss of human resources. Regarding this problems the lifted mechanism of vehicle hood was concerned and installed on the vehicle hood simulator to mitigate the severe accident in this project. To achieve this the energy absorption was established to decrease the injury of pedestrians by the gap increase between the bottom edge of hood and the engine valve cover. This solution can increase the ability of energy absorption during an accident moment. There were 8 steps of hood gap in this study to in the experimental works indicated by Head Injury Criterion HIC from head-form. The testing program was referred by Pedestrian Protection Test Procedures in EURO NCAP. From the experimental works the increasing gap between the bottom edge of hood and the engine valve cover tends to decrease the values of HIC. By the lowest of HIC the 4th gap is 18 cm of space representing 90.17 and 208.06 of HIC15 and HIC35 respectively. In consequence of experiment the gap between the bottom edge of hood and the engine valve cover plays a role on the HIC value in which it can mitigate the severe injury of pedestrian on accidental way whereas the lifted up mechanism of hood are ability as conjecture.
