In today's world, due to the rapid changes and developments in automobile brands, consumer preferences have become crucial in selecting car brands and features. In this study, survey data obtained from 571 car users residing in Kilis Province in 2022 were evaluated using Markov analysis to predict the future car brand, fuel type, and gear preferences of car users categorized as women and men driver; low, middle, and high-income participants; young, middle-aged, and elderly individuals. Through the markov analysis, the frequency matrix of transitions, the probability matrix of transitions, and the long-term equilibrium state matrix were determined. By looking at the long-term equilibrium state matrices, it was found that low-income participants will mostly prefer Tofaş, middle-income participants will prefer Toyota, and high-income participants will prefer Audi in the future. Low and middle-income participants will mostly prefer LPG fuel type and manual transmission, while high-income participants will prefer diesel fuel type and automatic transmission. Young individuals are predicted to mostly prefer Volkswagen, middle-aged individuals and elderly individuals will mostly prefer Toyota brand in the long term. Young individuals will prefer LPG, middle-aged indiiduals will prefer diesel and LPG, and elderly individuals will prefer diesel fuel type. In the future, young individuals will mostly prefer manual transmission, middle-aged individuals will prefer manual and automatic transmission, and elderly individuals will prefer automatic transmission. Furthermore, women driver will prefer Volkswagen and automatic, gasoline cars, while men driver will prefer Toyota, manual, diesel and LPG cars in terms of brand, gear and fuel type.

In this study, the performance of the front collision zone of the vehicle, reinforced with an S-shaped front collision rail, was compared to that of the classic straight front collision rail. In order to create a safe living cage in automobiles, half vehicle model was used and the collision performances of two different front collision zone models were compared. Torsion, bending and frontal impact scenarios were created with Hyperworks-Optistruct software to obtain versatile and continuous load paths in the vehicle. Vehicle front collision zone elements were designed with Siemens NX software based on the resulting load paths. Altair Hypermesh software was used to create the material properties, connection/contact zones and element mesh structures of the front collision zone components, and thus the preprocessing step was completed. Two different collision zone models were used to compare the collision zone with the classic arm and the one reinforced with the "S" shaped collision arm. The amount of energy absorbed by the collision zone components, the total displacement in the collision zone, the loads transmitted to the passenger cabin and the efficiency of the collision force (CFE) were obtained from each simulation.

The subject of the study; the similarities and differences in the society's perceptions on two projects: "Devrim Arabası" (the car of the revolution) and "Türkiye'nin Otomobili" (Turkey's auto). The question of the study; is the difference in the society's approach to two similar projects related to the transformation in the social mentality? Purpose of the study; to reveal the differences between the approaches to the two projects and to explain the transformation in social mentality through these differences in approaches. The method of the study; it is the analysis of newspaper news on the subject with content analysis and discourse analysis. Analysis material; these are the news that appeared in national newspapers at the time the projects were introduced to the public. Basic findings of the study; the society's approach to the two projects is similar in giving importance and believing that they will be achieved, and different in showing interest and support. The main result reached in the study; social mentality in Turkey has turned on project ownership and support. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
