This work describes a design study of motorcycle rider’s assistant system. The main reason was to design affordable and useful safety devices for every motorcycle rider. The study includes a detailed design of a sensory unit placed on the motorcycle and a visualization unit wi...

This work describes the design and implementation of a low-cost Advanced Rider’s Assistant System (ARAS). Motorcycle riders are more prone to AQ1 the injury during an accident than passengers of the car. For riders those accid...

The aim of the paper is to report on an educational project created to make technical education more attractive and to attract primary school pupils to study technical fields. The paper briefly presents the current situation in technical education in the Czech Republic and the...

The paper provides an overview of the implementation of the constructivist approach in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering’s Mechatronics lectures at the University of West Bohemia. Mechatronics has a crucial role in the ongoing Industrial Revolution 4.0. Any change in a field of ...

The purpose of the paper is to elaborate on the methodology of designing new machines called Digital Twins. In this particular case a FESTO MecLab educational assembly line was used. A digital twin is a virtual model that serves as a real-time digital counterpart of a...

When machining anisotropic material with a thin milling cutter, there is a high probability of tool breakage. Tool breakage leads to time waste, because a conventional small CNC machine is unable to detect tool breakage. One way to solve this proble...

The article is directly linked to the article called “Geometric Specification of Complex Spatially—Oriented and Compliant Components I”. Manufacturers of complicated and flexible machine parts, particularly in the automotive industry, are finding themselves in almost insoluble problems when designing ...

This paper deals with a complete design and implementation of a monitoring system for mobile devices, which was prepared for the company Škoda Machine Tool a.s.. It is a monitoring of machines that have an OPC UA Server for network communication. This communication protocol is...

The paper deals with possibilities of structural design of welded bracket loaded by bending. The bracket assembly consists of an arm and a base that are connected to each other by a weld. Especially the weld on the side of the arm, which is stressed by tension, ...

The land-transportation cannot meet its demands anymore. Jammed highways and cities, dangerous emissions, omnipresent traffic accidents, delays, expensive railways. Solutions are being sought to transfer a large part of passenger- and especially freight-traffic to (high-speed) rail and the efforts are...

The main goal is to determine if a sandwich structure (with steel sheets as outer plates and aluminium foam as filler) is suitable for a ram in an overhead gantry. The main expected features of the new design are fewer deformations, lower weight and equal or higher&#...

The use of cars increases every year, so people spend more time at the steering wheel, overcoming ever greater distances, which often forces them to sit in the car seat for hours. Professional drivers, especially truck drivers, know about it. It is therefore very important...

The paper deals with the scientific model of machine design, respecting the principle of natural brain activity, so-called "problem solving" and this application in teaching of students at the Department of machine design. There are some psychological aspects of creative work as&#x...
