Scientists Design Anti Sleepiness Car

VALENCIA - A new prototype system designed to prevent the driver from accidents caused by drowsiness. The system works by measuring the heart rate and respiration system driver.

This system was developed by the Institute of Biomechanics (IBV) in Valencia, Spain. The sensor system embedded in the car, there is a sensor in the seat belt is intended to monitor the heart rate.

While existing sensors in the seat cover to measure respiratory function. When the sensor detects the driver is asleep, the alarm goes off to wake the driver before he lost control.

This research was funded by the European Union, the project itself is called Harken. Harken consists of sensor seat cover and seat belts, equipped with a hidden signal processing units, which process data in real-time.

"The heart rate and respiratory rate is a good indicator to show the state of the driver is tired," said Jose Solaz, director of market innovation IBV field, automatic car and mass transportation as reported by Mashable.

Advantages of BMW i8 Laser Lights

Munich - laser light technology is one of the flagship features of the BMW i8. Apparently, the laser light used electric sports car was supplied by the world's largest lighting manufacturers, Osram.

As written by Automotive News Europe on Wednesday (07/23/2014), BMW took the lamp from Osram Opto laser Semiconductors (OOS), a subsidiary of Osram. OOS already known as a specialized manufacturer of LED (light-emitting diode).

But for BMW, OOS create laser light technology is better than LED lighting. According to BMW, the i8 laser light is only using half the energy of LEDs, but is capable of emitting 170 lumens per watt. This figure is 70 percent brighter than LEDs.

In addition, when the position of the high-beams (high beam), can penetrate up to 600 meters distance. While conventional LED lights highlight only 300 meters away. This excess use laser light rather than LEDs.

Unfortunately, because of the high laser lumens, these lamps can only be used at speeds over 60 kph. Because, when you are in a high speed, the driver will be difficult to detect the presence of another light on the front of the car. Therefore, this model is still illegal lights used in the United States.

Protect Car from Cyber Attacks

But, the main tool is a set of computer algorithms that listens to network traffic on a vehicle so that a reasonable figure.
In the event of a cyber attack to the vehicle, the tool will detect the presence of anomalies and block unusual activity, said Valasek.

Valasek and Miller, two figures known as a computer expert, admitted that they make it a tool to help vehicle manufacturers to find a way to protect the car's computer system.

"If I hacked the internet or my credit card is stolen, it's not a big deal," said Valasek.
"but, to make the lives of car collision is a problem. We wanted to participate to a solution."

Traffic Safety Agency and Highways United States (NHTSA) in a statement Tuesday expressed no data on accidents caused by hacking the control system on the vehicle.
The automotive industry in recent years to strengthen the efforts to determine and quantify the potential risk to cyber security.

In general, there are 3 types of brakes that we know that:
 
Disc Brake
Ordinary Disc Brakes, namely brakes that use brake disc that resembles a plate and how it works with clamping disc brakes to stop the vehicle. Ventilated Disc Brakes, exactly the same as normal disc brakes, but the dial like a thicker pile, and in the middle there is the empty air cavities in the lattice so-called ventilated discs.
 
Drum Brake  
In the 50s, drum brakes operated by the brake, and shaped like a basin, so there are two brake shoes that are moving towards the left and right side. Over time, the brake drum has now evolved into the front rear drum brakes with hydraulic systems.

which is actually a hydraulic drum brakes with the help of the wind so that the wind is known to be Rem. This brake is usually used for heavy vehicles.

5 Tips Choosing Car GPS

With the development of IT technology and the latest innovations, the tool guide becoming an important tool life of each person. If the first cars not equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System), now even ordinary cars were already equipped tool guides the way.

In fact, there are few taxis were equipped with this tool. Besides being easily obtained, the GPS was varied and the price is also very easy installation.

With the innovation of this system, the user can check whether he was on the right path thanks to information provided by the system.
In addition, the GPS device will also notify information on the number and location of the remaining gasoline car.

If you missed to turn or where to go, the GPS will automatically make a new route.

Your Car Ever Overheat? Fix up Completely!

Setting up a four-wheeled vehicles to travel long distances like going home, had to start from the outset. Do not let the car run into problems while traveling, such as constraints or overheat the engine temperature rises. This condition often occurs given the current level of congestion worse every homecoming.

Various factors that could make the engine temperature meningkat.Sekali car hit overheating problem, should be fixed up completely perfect, especially if you want to be taken away trip.

The reason a lot like the radiator fan that has no maximum or damaged radiator, at least had been blocked. If it all should be looking for the cause overheating and replaceable components that are already damaged, not tricked

The first factor that makes the engine temperature rises above normal is a clogged radiator. Usually due to rust caused by moisture reacting with the engine block. Dirt clogging the radiator grille, which makes the water circulation is not maximal. Countermeasures can fix or if it is severe then the lattice must be replaced. Prevention can rust with water replacing the radiator every 20,000 miles to wear anti rust fluid.

Always get used to examine the condition of the water radiator before driving. Reduced water volume indicates a leak. It could be caused from the hose is brittle, or hose connections from the radiator cap seals and springs that are not functioning properly. Leakage from radiator cap is usually seen the rust around the dries.

Fan Motor
The weakening of the fan motor can cause the engine temperatures to rise. Symptoms can be seen when the temperature rises high speed, but at low speeds the temperature tends to be safe. Checked simply by turning on the AC, when the fan is not maximal then the engine temperature will rise. Immediately replace the fan motor is severe or if the fan was also replaced due to damage in the shaft.

Overheat Prevention
Symptoms began with the advent of 'ngelitik' (knocking) excess on the machine. In addition, the car is equipped with a needle indicator, it would appear an increase in temperature. While taking the picture, the engine will instantly die when overheated.

Immediately pull over the car to a safe place and attach the safety triangle. Wait a few minutes until the engine temperature drops, can be assisted by flushing water in the radiator cross section. After a cold check water conditions.

When opening the radiator cap and still feels hot, use thick cloth and turn slowly. If there is water pressure, pressure radiator cap while playing slowly. If the volume is still full of water, the radiator cap back on and wait until the normal temperature to directly take the car to the nearest garage. If reduced, immediately advance up to the full contents before continuing the journey to the workshop.
