| The retrieval and placement of traffic cones in Indonesia is still done manually by authorized officers, this may jeopardize the safety of officers and is less efficient in terms of time, effort, and cost. Therefore, a machine is needed to collect and put traffic cones that can solve the problems in setting the traffic cones manually. The purpose of designing this machine is to design and build of collecting and laying traffic cones machine for pickup trucks,with the benefits of simplifying, accelerating, reducing amount of manpower required, and enhancing the sense of security and comfort for the authorized officers set traffic cones, other than that this design can be used as a reference for further design for students of Mechanical Engineering UNIKA Atma Jaya. Stages of design is done is task clarification as the initial stage, conceptual design to get the best variant, embodiment design of the best variant, and detailed design that accompanied the calculations required before the embodiment of the machine.The design result and embodiment of the machine can fulfill the demand in accordance with requirement list that have been designed before, can run the function of the machine well, withthe maximum retrieval and placement speed of traffic cones is ±10 km / h, working speed of machine in collecting and laying traffic cones depends on the speed of the pickup trucks, the distance between traffic cones, and the operator, also can manage traffic cones quickly, reduce the amount of manpower and operational costs, improve security and comfort officers, flexible to be moved on other vehicles according to specifications,and can be operated on the right side or on the left side of the vehicle. |
