Abstract: The largest contribution to air pollution comes from the transportation sector, especially motorcycles which reach up to 60%. This is an important issue. An effort chosen by the Indonesian government to realize the emission reduction target is by transitioning conventional motorcycles to electric motorcycles. The use of electric vehicles releases lower emissions than conventional vehicles that use fossil fuels. The trend of electric motorcycles adoption in adoption innovation and early adoption is being carried out in Indonesia. Thus, it is necessary to examine the factors that influence the adoption of electric motorcycles in Indonesia with various variable development models. In this study, the influence of mobility behavior, knowledge of electric motorcycles, availability of charging stations, battery replacement costs, and energy charging costs was observed on the selection of hybrid motorcycles, electric motorcycles with batteries, and electric motorcycles battery rental systems using a multinomial logit model. The research found the most chosen motorcycles is an electric motorcycles with a battery.

Abstract: Buildings are one of the largest contributors to negative environmental impacts because of the high consumption of energy and materials during their life cycle. The present work proposes a framework, able to make available information, both of general materials and specific commercial solutions; moreover, it overcomes the current state of the art, since, although focused on environmental sustainability, provides the opportunity to compare simultaneously several choices, also considering their properties and characteristics. Based on the proposed methodology, a tool structure and workflow are presented. The main potentiality is represented by the possibility of executing sustainability assessment already in the early stages of building design using the proposed tool when design choices significantly contribute to the global environmental impact of solutions. A validation procedure to quantitatively evaluate the main tool's limits and potentialities is proposed.

Abstract: The museum of the “Bourrine du bois Juquaud” is a tourist site located in the town of Saint Hilaire de Riez in France. It presents the daily life of the inhabitants of the marsh in the early twentieth century and their traditional earthen houses called Bourrine. The Bourrine is a cob construction with reed roof. The earth used for walls is soil from marshlands added with dune sand and straw fibres but some part are without fibres like coating applied on walls. By now, the knowledge acquired on the implementation of these mixtures for the lifting of the walls are oral knowledge and it is necessary to ensure the preservation of this traditional heritage. Currently the done reparations present cracks due to shrinkage. This study aims at well defining the mixtures by a scientific approach. The earth and dune sand were analyzed by taking cores from different existing bourrines and also by extracting soil on site. Different mixtures were produced by varying the proportion of earth sand and water. The linear shrinkage were measured. Corrections were done to get the best mixture for manufacturing and repairing the Bourrines.

Abstract: The paper presents the method basing on engineering knowledge and experience for adding selection of cutting tools and parameters in a turning process. In this method, the system is built basing on a hybrid architecture that combines an advisory system and the CBR (Case Based Reasoning) method. It is presented the structure of the advisory system, and the functioning of the CBR method. Attention has been paid to the problem of an “empty database” in relation to systems basing on the CBR method. The paper also presents the possibility of integrating the developed method with a CAM system.

Abstract: This paper was carried out with an aim to use a modified knowledge management model, that could provide a knowledge management tool that would ensure decreased downtimes, error rates and could enhance knowledge transfer for a company. This research involved quantitative assessment in measuring knowledge management success by using designed methodologies accompanied by data collection from the quality control department. The results of this research were the measurement of the knowledge management tool success.

Abstract: Engineering design work is based on the use of information in their specialized form of knowledge. How information becomes knowledge, how knowledge is extracted, documented, stored, communicated and disseminated are still so many problems to be solved in order to improve design activities of a company.

Abstract: Currently, the processes of developing new medical devices (in particular, patient specific guides for orthopedic surgery being of interest in our research), is hampered by the difficulty of correctly and efficiently quantifying and translating the specific medical requirements in terms of technical specifications. This is caused by the intrinsic difficulty of the demarche, but also by a complicated communication between surgeon and engineer given the different practical and research perspectives, specific constraints, motivation, evaluation criteria and professional language barrier. The advent and development of new technologies with applications in the medical field, such as robotics, haptic-based virtual and augmented reality, additive manufacturing, collaborative modeling, knowledge-based support decision systems, etc., make now possible to bridge the gap between surgeons’ ideas and needs and their practical materialization into new customized medical devices. The paper enrolls in this research trend, presenting a general framework for the development of an intelligent e-health platform, which provides in a collaborative environment the necessary knowledge and computer-aided tools for translating surgeons’ needs into technical specifications for the design and manufacturing of patient-specific guides for orthopedic surgery. These guides can be used in the minimally invasive surgical procedures and for reducing the x-ray radiation exposure during surgery, and for increasing accuracy in performing different types of specific orthopedic surgical procedures such as cutting, drilling, tapping and aligning, by transferring the tools trajectories from computer-aided planning to surgery.

Abstract: Through the sheet metal digital information classification, induces the 2D graphics, 3D model, data forms, the information such as process design chart, file information is automatic extracted and meta data description information is interactively supplemented , data is stored in the database records, two kinds of query is designed for recorded data query and keywords retrieval methods.Engineering database system designed to define meta data, storage, retrieval, information coding and classification of four levels, combined with the engineering application of system requirements and function module design,interface of sheet metal unfolding system is developed.The system improve the design capability of sheet metal enterprises, reduce manufacturing cost, enhance the capacity of information management .

Abstract: In reuse library platform, realizing the reuse process of standard parts and common parts and building standard part management system are the important application during the whole design field. This paper introduces the method of customization standard parts library using part family, and realizes standardization management of reuse library. By creating KRX files, the knowledge components in reuse library are managed. Reuse library is an effective way to organize and use standard parts and common parts.

Abstract: The article is devoted to structurization of data and knowledge for the information technology of road-climatic zoning (IT RCZ). The IT includes an intelligent system based on the extended matrix model of data and knowledge representation on the investigated area of the West Siberian region and the matrix model of knowledge representation preassigned by experts in the field of RCZ without specification of particular territories. Structurization is conditioned upon the extended matrix model.
