For proper release of side airbags, the onset of crash should be detected first. After crash detection, the algorithm has to make a decision whether the side airbag deployment is necessary. If the deployment is necessary, proper timing has to be provided for the maximum protection of driver or passenger. The side airbag release algorithm should be robust against the statistical deviations which are inherent to experimental crash test data. Deterministic optimization algorithms cannot be used for the side aribag release algorithm since the objective function cannot be expressed in a closed form. From this background, genetic algorithm has been used for the optimization. The optimization requires moderate amount of computation and gives satisfactory results.

The absolute longitudinal speed of a vehicle is estimated by using vehicle acceleration data from an accelerometer and wheel speed data from standard 50-tooth antiknock braking system wheel speed sensors. An intuitive solution to this problem is, "When wheel slip is low, calculate absolute velocities from the wheel speeds; when wheel slip is high, calculate absolute velocity by integrating the accelerometer." Fuzzy logic is introduced to implement the above idea and a new algorithm of "modified velocities with step integration" is proposed. This algorithm is verified experimentally to estimate speed of a vehicle, and is also shown to estimate absolute longitudinal vehicle speed with a 6% worst-case error during a hard braking maneuver lasting three seconds.

Collision warning systems have been an active research and development area as the interests and demands for ASV's (Advanced Safety Vehicles) have increased. This paper presents an experimental investigation of a collision warning system for automobiles. A collision warning HiLS(Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation) system has been designed and used to test the collision warning algorithm, radar sensors, and warning displays under realistic operating conditions in the laboratory. the collision warning algorithm is operated by a warning index, which is a function of the warning distance and the braking distance. The computer calculates velocities of the preceding vehicle and following vehicle, relative distance and relative velocity of the vehicles using vehicle simulation models. The relative distance and the relative velocity are applied to the vehicle simulator controlled by a DC motor.

This paper addresses sliding mode control (SMC) of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) with a compensator of model uncertainties such as vehicle parameter variation, unmodeled dynamics, and external disturbances. A sliding mode controller (SMC) is designed with a nominal vehicle model to achieve a desired wheel slip ratio. A disturbance observer (DOB) is introduced to compensate the model uncertainties and is designed with a transfer function of a hydraulic brake dynamics. Through simulations on the model uncertainties, it is verified that the sliding mode control with the DOB can give the simulation results better than the sliding mode control without the DOB.

The purpose of this paper is comparatively to evaluate the confidence of Vehicle-Detector informations for various detectors in order to test to be possible the application of these to real time traffic signal control. The detectors which are tested for this study are Circle-Shaped Loop, Ultrasonic, Microwave and Image detector. The tested items for each detectors are traffic volume, degree of saturation for through and left turn movement, speed and queue length, etc. These items for each are tested at the field according to several situations, such as dry day, raining day, night and daytime. The result of these tests are performed comparative analysis and statistical examination in order to increase the confidence of the experiments.

Gears are useful for power transmission due to excellent power transmission performance, low cost, and compactness. In addition, gears have constant speed ratio, compact structure, and excellent efficiency. In order to transmit higher power, the new multi-range transmission requires gears which have greater strength than the existing transmission. This study evaluates stability and durability through gear analysis of the multi-range transmission in commercial vehicles using ROMAX-DESIGNER program. Also, strength design evaluation is carried out by the analysis results which are compared with gear strength theory of AGMA standard. Bending stress and contact stress on gears are lower than their allowable stresses. Therefore, we can evaluate the safety of the gear strength design in multi-range transmission.

A light guide panel is an element of the LCD backlight module that is often used for the display of compact electronic devices. In this study, a laser marking system is proposed to fabricate light guide panel, which can replace other manufacturing methods such as silk printing, stamping, or v-cutting methods. The objective of this research is to evaluate the process parameters of the laser marking system. Light guide patterns were marked with a 50W $CO_2$ laser (CW) to understand the effects of average power and scanning speed on the geometry and quality of groove pattern. The width of the fabricated grooves increases with increasing laser power and decreasing scan speed. In order to analyze surface characteristics and optical properties (luminance, uniformity), SEM photography and BM7 (luminance measuring system) were used. As a result, the optimal conditions of the process parameters were determined.

The $(Sr_{0.85}Ca_{0.15})TiO_3$(SCT) thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/TiN/$SiO_2$/Si) using RF sputtering method. The crystallinity of SCT thin films is increased with increase of substrate temperature in the temperature range of 200~500$[^{\circ}C]$. V-I characteristics of SCT thin films show the increasing leakage current with the increases of deposition temperature. The conduction mechanism of the SCT thin films observed in the temperature range of 25~100$[^{\circ}C]$ can be divided into four characteristic regions with different mechanism by the increasing current.

본 연구에서는 스핀밸브 다층박막에서 교환 바이어스에 영향을 끼치는 요인 중 하나인 강자성층과 반강자성층사이의 접합 계면에서의 표면 거칠기 [1,2]를 줄이기 위해 현재 반도체 공정에 사용되고 있는 이온빔 에칭 장비를 사용하여 스핀 밸브 다층박막의 씨앗층 에칭에 따른 교환 바이어스를 알아보고자 하였다. 스핀밸브 구조는 강자성층/비자성층/강자성층의 기본구조를 갖는데 이중 하나의 강자성층의 스핀방향이 반강자성층에 의해 고정되는 구조[3]로써 이러한 고정 효과를 교환 바이어스(exchange bias)라 부른다. 교환 바이어스(exchange bias)현상은 강자성과 반강자성의 접합계면에서 강한 상호 교환결합력에 의해 나타나는 현상으로 이러한 교환 바이어스 특성은 하드드라이브의 고밀도 자기헤드소자 및 비휘발성 자기 메모리소자에 응용되어 기존의 자기저항 소자의 특성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있게 되었다.

교환바이어스(exchange bias)현상은 강자성과 반강자성의 접합계면에서 강한 상호 교환결합력에 의해 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 현상은 1956년 Meiklejohn과 Bean에 의해 CoO층으로 둘러싸인 Co 입자에서 발견된 이후[1], 강자성과 반강자성의 접합계면을 가지는 다층박막에서의 교환바이어스에 대한 연구가 진행되어왔다[2-6]. 이는 강자성/반강자성 박막의 교환바이어스 특성을 이용하여, 강자성 박막의 스핀방향을 고정시킬 수 있기 때문이다. 이러한 교환바이어스 특성은 하드드라이브의 고밀도 자기헤드소자 및 비휘발성 자기메모리소자에 응용되어지는 등 경제적 가치를 갖는 기술적인 면과 교환바이어스라는 자기특성의 학문적인 가치로 인해 이 분야에 대한 집중적인 투자와 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 최근에는 교환바이어스 현상의 원인과 형성기구에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 강자성과 반강자성 박막의 단거리 상호 교환결합력에 의한 교환바이어스 현상은, 계면의 원자구조, 자기구조 및 각자성층의 여러 가지 인자들에 대해서 지속적으로 연구되고 있다.
