Steering system is most important for vehicle in safety and driving feel. However, testing using real car to improve steering feel is often difficult in aspect to repeatability, safety and money. Repeatability in testing steering system is very important because steering feel for driver is variable according to the environment condition. And steering testing of vehicle is so dangerous that driver may not concentrate in testing. In this paper, the steering system simulator using front part of steering and suspension system was developed. We can test the electric power steering system for the light weight vehicle using this simulator cheap, safely and repeatably.

We have development the steering angle sensor using not only detecting parts but also integrating technique with semiconductors for automobile applications. The performance design and analysis of the steering angle sensor for intelligent vehicles is complicated due to variety of parameters. In this study, the performance characteristics of the angle sensor were analyzed using test rig. By means of magnetic induction technique, these new the steering angle sensors showed excellent magnetic characteristics. The detection range of steering angle sensor obtained was ${\pm}800^{\circ}$, the maximum non-linearity is 0.744% Full Span and the temperature range was $-40^{\circ}C{\sim}+125^{\circ}C$. With this conclusive, the inductive angle sensor was quite satisfactory for many applications in intelligent vehicles.

The critical speed above which the vehicle become unstable is one of the items that should be verified in the development of a new train. In the case of a high speed tilting train, which requires both higher critical speed and higher curving speed, the critical speed should be more carefully treated because the both requirements are in conflict with each other in the conventional train design. The main purpose of the present work is to estimate the linear and non-linear critical speeds of 200km/h Korean Tilting Train 'Hanbit200' under development. The newly developed self-steering mechanism was attached to the tilting train to ensure that the critical speed falls under the lower yaw stiffness which is needed to secure higher curving performance. The simulation for predicting the critical speed was done by a commercially available vehicle dynamics software. A full scale roller rig test was carried out to validate the numerical results and to verify the effectiveness of the self-steering mechanism.

단층권을 갖는 12-Slot 10-Pole 영구자석 동기전동기는 고신뢰성이 요구되는 자동차 전기조향장치 시스템용으로 응용되고 있다. 하지만, 권선이 감겨져 있는 치에는 전류에 의한 기자력이 집중되는 구조이기 때문에 자기회로의 포화로 인한 기자력 감소가 발생하고, 이는 전동기의 성능을 저하시키게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 단점을 개선하기 위해 고정자에 비대칭 치폭을 제안하고, 다양한 치폭 비 변경에 따른 전동기의 특성을 정밀 해석한다. 그 결과, 단층권을 갖는 자동차 전기조향장치용 PMSM 설계 시 특성 측면에서 가장 효율적인 치폭 비를 제시한다.

최근 차량의 연비규제 강화로 인해, 기존 내연기관의 차량 부품 구동방식이 유압방식 대신 전동방식으로 대체되어 가고 있다. 이러한 부품의 대표적인 예가, Electronic Power Steering(EPS)이며, 현재 대부분의 차량에 적용되고 있다. EPS의 핵심 부품으로서는 전동기가 있으며, EPS의 조향감 개선 및 진동/소음 저감을 위해 전동기의 Cogging torque 및 Torque Ripple 저감이 요구된다. 일반적으로 Cogging torque 및 Torque ripple을 저감하기 위해서, 고정자 또는 회전자에 스큐를 적용한다. 본 연구에서는 고정자에 스큐가 적용된 Bushless PMSM(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)의 설계 방법 및 해석방법에 대해 소개한다. 고정자 skew가 적용된 EPS용 PMSM에 대해 초기 설계를 진행하고, RSM(Response Surface Methodology)을 이용한 최적설계를 수행한다. 유한요소해석을 통해 역기전력, Inductance, Load torque 등의 성능을 확인한다. 마지막으로 시제품 제작 및 실험을 통해 설계 방법에 대한 신뢰성을 검증한다.

Urban maglev should have such characteristics as not only environmentally friendliness and excellent driving capability but also curve negotiation performance because its routes have many sharp curves. Due to normal mechanism of urban maglev its relative displacements of secondary spring are bigger than conventional railway vehicle and the centering force of levitation magnet is smaller than wheel-on-rail system. These features of maglev affect the curving negotiation and so the additional steering device is to be required on Urban maglev to improve the running performance at sharp curve of less than about R50m. Some developed urban maglev had the passive steering device which consists of mechanical linkage or hydraulic cylinder and closed-route piping. But it has drawback as complexity of layout of understructure of vehicle and functional limitation of passive mechanism regarding transient curve. These demerits could be solved by using active steering system. But it has a weak point that an active device should have actuators and additional inverter or hydraulic power source. In this paper, the semi-active steering system for urban maglev is to be introduced.

This paper presents yaw vibration control performances of railway vehicle featuring controllable magnetorheological damper. A cylindrical type of MR damper is devised and its damping force is evaluated by considering fluid resistance and MR effect. Design parameters are determined to achieve desired damping force level. The MR damper model is then incorporated with the governing equations of motion of the railway vehicle which includes vehicle body, bogie and wheel-set. Subsequently, computer simulation of vibration control via proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is performed using Matlab. Various control performances are demonstrated under external excitation by creep force between wheel and rail.
