In this paper the reference model following control(RMFC) scheme through the optimal control theory is investigated for the independent rear wheel steering(IRWS) vehicle. RMFC vehicle follows the dynamic performance of a virtual vehicle as a reference model deisgned in the controller. Linear vehicle model of two degres-of-freedom is used to derive control scheme which is applied to full vehicle for evaluating handling performances. And 4WS vehicle through RMFC is compared to the conventional 2WS vehicle and 4WS vehicle in the J-turn test. The RMFC logic is also extended to IRWS vehicle, IRWS with RMFC shows not only the excellent handling performance but salso some advantages in terms of the directional stability and responsiveness from the simulation results.

This paper presents a control strategy of 4 wheel drive (4WD) vehicles. Proposed control strategy has simple structure and can easily apply to various vehicles with low cost and time. It is consist of feedforward control for traction ability, fedback control for minimizing the wheel speed difference and yaw control for lateral stability. In addition, to integrate the traction and stability control, a blending function is applied. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed control strategy, actual vehicle experiment is conducted after deciding the tuning parameter through the simulation. The simulation is accomplished by CarSim and Matlab/Simulink and the actual vehicle test is conducted using full size Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) equipped rear wheel based solenoid type 4WD device.

In urban area narrow commuter vehicles have attracted interest as a possible solution to reduce traffic congestion and parking problems. However, a narrow vehicle has an increased to overturn during hard cornering when compared to conventional vehicles. This tendency can be reduced by tilting it toward the inside of the turn. Two types of automatic tilting control systems which are Direct Tilt Control(DTC) and Steering Tilt Control(STC) have been developed. In this paper as one of the technique to improve the handling performance for the unusual vehicle the control system which blends both the DTC and the STC system is considered. It uses the merits of both the DTC and the STC system. As a control strategy for combination the switching control method is used. Finally, the fact that the unusual vehicle is safe under an emergency situation such as slippery road surface is proved by computer simulation.

기존의 엔진제어기(ECU)는 주요 mapping data(ECU에 대응되는 값)들에 대해서 기밀성과 무결성을 제공하는 보호 기법의 부재로 인해 임의적인 튜닝이 가능하다는 특징이 존재하였다. 이로 인해 자칫 잘못된 튜닝이나 악의적인 조작이 발생할 수 있는 여지가 있으며, 이는 차량 엔진 및 조작의 안정성을 떨어뜨림과 동시에 운전자 및 보행자들의 안전을 위협할 수 있다는 문제가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 ECU에 적용되는 Firmware의 주요 mapping data를 안전하게 암호화하는 방식을 제안하며, 이 과정에서는 차량의 식별 및 ECU에 mapping 되는 data의 무결성 검증을 위해 인증서를 사용하는 방식을 제안한다. 본 논문의 제안을 통해 주요 mapping data를 안전하게 보호하는 기술을 통해 차량의 안전성을 유지할 수 있다.

The vehicle has many technique change from The requirement of the safety the energy environment and convenience dimension is an enlargement toe. This is keeping changing the paradigm of the vehicle industry rapidly. The change to be technical such brought the intelligence of the former control device. And this organizes a sensor network among each systems and makes new traffic system. This paper a standard framework based on Sensor. We call it Vehicle Management System. The VMS used MOST network and It is able to make the stability of the component swap time or vehicle order the greatest.

최근 자동차 산업의 연구개발의 핵심화두는 효율성 제고 및 NVH(Noise, Vibration, Harshness) 개선에 있다. 특히나 많은 부품들의 개발에 있어서 운전자의 운전 편의성을 높이는 성능적인 지표 외에도 운전자가 느끼는 소음, 이상 진동에 대한 감성성능에 대한 소비자의요구도 높아지고 있다. 이러한 경향에 맞추어 자동차 각 부분의 소음저감, 효율향상을 고려한 설계에 대한 연구가 활발해지고 있다. 많은 자동차 부품들에 모터가 사용되고 있으며, 특히 차량용 쿨링팬의 경우 모터를 사용하여 차량 운행 시 발행하는 (배터리의 온도를) 적절한 수준으로 유지시켜주거나 친환경 자동자차 배터리를 쿨링 하는 역할을 한다. 대다수의 쿨링팬 모터로 BLDC모터가 많이 사용되며 이는 전통적인 제어 방법인 구형파제어를 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 저전압 배터리의 전원을 사용하여 BLDC 쿨링팬을 안정적으로 구동할 수 있는 제어기를 개발하였고, 소음저감 및 높은 효율을 위하여 정현파로 제어하는 기법을 적용하였다. 개발된 시작품의 성능 시험을 통해 그 결과를 검증하였다.

For higher reliability against component failures in railroad trains with many electronic sensors and actuators, a distributed control system with which all electronic components are connected via a network is being considered. This paper compares and analyzes various topologies of Ethernet network for a railroad train in the aspects of (1) failure recovery, (2) the number of ports per device, (3) the number of cable connections between vehicles, and (4) performance. Especially, the unique characteristic of a train system that the number of vehicles changes is considered through analysis. Various combinations of in- and inter-vehicle topologies are considered. In addition, we introduce a hybrid of star and daisy-chain topology for inter-vehicle connection when the maximum number of inter-vehicle connections is limited to reduce possible failures of inter-vehicle connections. Simulation results show performance comparison between different topology combinations; the hybrid topology is shown to enhance delay performance even with a highly limited number of inter-vehicle connections.

For the high center of gravity vehicles the roll stiffness of their suspensions is arranged to be very high because such vehicles are in some danger of tipping over in cornering. In some cases, the effective roll stiffness is determined significantly by the compliance of the tires because of the very stiff anti-roll members incorporated in the suspension. In such cases, it is clear that the shock absorbers which may be effective in damping heave oscillations have little effect on roll oscillations. Therefore, wind gusts and roadway unevenness may cause large swaying oscillations. In this paper, to improve the stability for the high center of gravity vehicles a control scheme to augment the damping of the roll mode is proposed. As the feedback signals needed to provide damping of the roll motion, the front or rear steer angles or both are chosen because they are very related to roll motion. The scheme is effective from moderate to high speeds and stabilizes the roll mode without introducing disturbance moments from roadway unevenness as shock absorbers do. The validity on the proposed method is verified through the computer simulation.

Traction control systems are used to prevent the wheel slippage and to maximize the traction force. A new scheme of controlling the wheel slip during cornering by varying the slip ration as a function of the slip angle is proposed and dynamically simulated with the model of a front wheel driven passenger vehicle. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is superior to conventional ones based on the fixed slip ratio during cornering and lane changes.

In magnetic levitation vehicles, the clearance between the magnet and track should be maintained within an allowable range through a feedback control loop. The flexibility of the guideway would introduce additional modes in the overall suspension system, resulting in dynamic interaction between the guideway vibration and the electromagnetic suspension control system. This dynamic interaction can be a serious problem, particularly at very low speeds or standstill, and may cause airgap instability. To optimize the overall system dynamics, an integrated dynamic model including mechanical and electrical parts and a flexible guideway as well as a control loop was developed. With the proposed model, airgap simulations at standstill were performed while varying the control gains, specifically with the aim of understanding the effects of gains of the PID controller on the airgap variation. The findings may be used to achieve a stable levitation controller design.
