Intelligent Power Switch (IPS) is a semiconductor device which contains a logic circuit in itself. It has received significant attention as a switching component to substitute the fuse and relay components in common automobile since the internal logic provides the controllability on the loads. However, a control system for the IPS status control and a network system to share the status information of IPS are required to fully exploit the capabilities of IPS. In this paper, we propose a control circuit and algorithm using IPS. Also the communication system between the control systems and IPS components using Control Area network (CAN) are proposed.

최근 네비게이션, GPS 등과 같은 운전 보조를 위한 장치 및 DVD 플레이어 등과 같은 운전자의 인포테인먼트 요구를 위한 장치 등 다양한 차량용 ECU들이 등장하고 있다. 차량용 네트워크를 통해 다양한 ECU들을 연결하여 상호 협력을 통해 ECU 고유 기능뿐만 아니라 추가의 기능을 수행할 수 있는 다양한 기술도 활발히 연구되고 있다. 차량용 네트워크를 통해 다양한 ECU들이 연결되어 상호 동작하기 위해서는 다양한 ECU 및 네트워크를 관리하는 서버 역할을 할 수 있는 고성능의 Car PC 의 장착이 필수적이다. 기존 AVM 시스템은 차량 주변 상황을 실시간으로 제공하기 위해 임베디드 시스템 또는 SOC의 형태로 개발되었다. 그러나, Car PC가 차량에 장착되면 AVM 시스템을 추가의 비용이 없는 소프트웨어로 구현할 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 차량 주변 영상을 실시간으로 제공할 수 있도록 카메라 보정 같은 영상 처리 모듈의 성능이 실시간 영상을 제공할 수 있는 성능을 갖추어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 차량의 전 후방 및 좌 우측에 장착된 4대의 카메라로부터 입력된 차량 주변 상황을 한눈에 보여주는 AVM 시스템을 위해 카메라 보정 및 통합 처리를 위한 모듈을 스레드(thread)를 이용하여 설계하고 구현한다. 또한, 제안하는 영상 처리 모듈의 성능과 스레드를 사용하지 않는 방식의 영상 처리 모듈의 성능을 비교 분석함으로써 제안하는 영상 처리 모듈을 이용하여 추가의 비용이 없는 소프트웨어 AVM 시스템의 구현 가능성을 검증한다.

The automotive industry tries to provide infotainment systems to emerging automobiles. Since the infotainment systems require various peripheral devices and network connectivity, legacy operating systems such as Linux and Windows can be much preferred due to its plentiful device drivers and multimedia applications while the operating systems following OSEK standard are used for automotive electronic control units. Thus it is highly desired that the system software supporting infotainment applications can be portable over different legacy operating systems providing unified programming interfaces. The majority of legacy operating systems support POSIX interfaces for application development. MOST is an automotive network standard for infotainment systems. Network Service defines the protocol stacks for MOST control data, which is essential to implement infotainment applications over MOST. In this paper, we suggest a POSIX-based Network Service so that we can utilize legacy device drivers and applications for automotive infotainment systems. We measure the performance of the POSIX-based Network Service and show that its overhead is not significant.

The needs for the OpenGL-family of the rendering library standards are highly increasing, especially for the graphical human-machine Interface on the various systems including smart phones and personal information devices. Additionally, in the case of safety-critical market for avionics, military, medical and automotive applications, OpenGL SC, the safety critical profile of the OpenGL library plays the major role for the graphical interfaces. In this paper, we represent our OpenGL SC emulation library on the OpenGL 1.x rendering pipeline which is widely available on the existing embedded systems, to provide the features of OpenGL SC standard cost-effectively. Our method can provide the OpenGL SC features at the low development cost on the embedded systems, and its implementation is also one of the fundamental elements for the emulation of embedded systems in the PC environment. Our final result now works on both of Linux-based and VxWORKS systems, showing correct execution results at the reasonable speed.

본 논문은 영상처리 및 센서를 이용하여 주유할 차량으로 이동, 주유구 인식 및 개폐, 주유까지의 과정을 처리할 수 있는 무인 주유 로봇의 구현 과정을 기술하였다. 캐터펄트는 자동차가 주차된 곳에 정확히 멈추게 되고, 로봇 팔이 영상 처리를 이용하여 주유구 위치를 찾아낸 뒤 주유를 시작한다. 로봇은 현 주유 시스템의 불편한 점을 사람 없이 전 과정을 처리하는 역할을 함으로써 주유소를 무인화하여 인건비를 최소화 시키고, 악천후 상황에서 주유의 편리성을 기대할 수 있다.

The number of electronic embedded software in vehicle system is ever increasing for years. As a result, the electronic control units have been growing dramatically, and it is required to mutual link between these units. Due to separate API each and every embedded platform, it is difficult to develop and integrate in automotive industry. The AUTOSAR project consists suppliers and manufacturers, and the partnership is a standardized platform to establish and develop an industry standard. On the previous works, we implemented the RTE generated module design based on AUTOSAR architecture. This paper specifically focuses on the testing of the development tool that generates RTE source code. The result satisfied a need for a RTE requirements and AUTOSAR methodology in a vehicle applications.

Recently, the diverse needs of the drivers for in-vehicle infotainment systems are increasing rapidly. As a result, the infotainment systems are equipped with more convenient and human-friendly high-tech features. In this paper, we designed and implemented in-vehicle multimedia infotainment system based on embedded system that was applied various multimedia to in-vehicles. The proposed system can support independent display on each screen for the multi-channel multimedia source based on one processor(1 CPU). Therefore, our system can be reduced costs compared to other systems. This system not only displays the video and audio data in storage devices but also displays CAM, T-DMB, and DVB-T multimedia contents which are supplied in real-time services. Also, our system could multi-screen displays multimedia data in smart phone using Wi-Fi. We expect that in-vehicle infotainment systems like AVN(Audio video navigation) and RSE(Rear Seat Entertainment) could be used in various applications and reduced costs.

위치기반 서비스는 다양한 응용 분야를 가지고 있다. 특히 GPS 모듈을 이용한 단말기 기반 방식은 위치 정보를 손쉽게 획득할 수 있기 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 차량용 네이게이션이나 휴대폰 등에서 이를 이용한 제품들이 많이 출시되고 있다. 하지만 위치기반서비스를 영상처리에 적용한 것은 거의 찾아보기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 GPS 모듈을 이용하여 GGA 문장을 획득고, 이를 임베디드 시스템에 적용하여 정지영상을 만들때 위치정보를 함께 표시하였다. 이를 이용하여 디지털 카메라나 개인용 단말기에 GPS 수신기를 추가하면 정지영상을 얻을 때 언제, 어디 라는 정보가 사진과 함께 표시되어 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

In this paper, we implement the embedded speech recognition system to support various application services such as audio and video control using speech recognition interface on cars. The embedded speech recognition system is implemented and ported in a DSP board. Because MIC type and speech codecs affect the accuracy of speech recognition. And also, we optimize the simulation and test environment to effectively remove the real noises on a car. We applied a noise suppression and feature compensation algorithm to increase an accuracy of sppech recognition on a car. And we used a context dependent tied-mixture acoustic modeling. The performance evaluation showed high accuracy of proposed system in office environment and even real car environment.
