  • The Korea Railroad Research Institute (KRRI) is developing the Bimodal-tram. The vehicle has a navigation control system (NCS) for automatic driving. The vehicle has to follow a reference path in automatic mode. NCS uses magnetic markers to calculate the vehicle position. The vehicle lane is marked with permanent magnets that are buried in the road. In this purpose, we show the characteristics and the configuration of NCS.

  • The percentage of those aged 60 and over is 43.5% among our country's 3,186 thousands farming population, so farm village is getting aging society rapidly. Moreover agricultural competitiveness has being weakened due to labor shortage by degradation in quality of labor configuration from elderly porson. For realisms easy workability, we developed a motor vehicle for agricultural activity. The vehicle has an automatic guidance system which could follows a track of magnetic tape on the floor for easy moving to given working position. We collected data from two guidance sensors, located on front and rear end of the vehicle and calculated displacement and angle deviation from the track. This traveling system was stably controlled with processing information deflection S, angle of deviation, D and angle velocity, Vt = $k_1D$ - $k_2S$ from two guidance sensors attached on front and rear of th motor vehicle. Also this system have been tested under various condition of $k_1$, $k_2$ for comparison on both stepped and turning routes. The results show that traveling performance is best at $k_1$=0.7, $k_2$=3.

  • In this paper, a stochastic approach based on a Monte Carlo simulation method for the design of a guidance and control (G & C) system of an automatic landing flight experiment (ALFLEX) vehicle is presented. The aim of this study is to design a G & C system robust against uncertainties in the vehicular dynamics. In this study, uncertain parameters and disturbances are treated as random variables in the Monte Carlo simulation. Then, some controller gains in the G & C system are tuned to satisfy conditions concerning the states at touchdown. The proposed method was applied to the ALFLEX vehicle. The simulation results shored the effectiveness of the present approach.

  • This paper deals with ship's track keeping methods which is crucial part of automatic navigation control systems. In this paper, we mainly discuss the performance of different guidance methods including way point guidance, enclosure-based steering guidance and lookahead-based steering guidance system. As a controller, a PID control system is employed to control ship's rudder angle during track-keeping. Finally, the performance of three methods are discussed through some simulation results.

  • For an automatic steering problem of vehicles, the main task is to keep a reference path with assumption that the displacement from the guideline can be measured by a sensor. In this paper, a sliding mode fuzzy logic controller design method is introduced and it shows highly enhanced performance in comparison with the other results. The method can be relatively simply implemented.

  • This paper deals with a problem of automatic landing guidance and control ofthe longitudinal airplane motion under the wind shear turbulence. Adaptive gainscheduled PID control law is proposed in this paper. Fuzzy logic is the main part ofthe adaptive PID controller as gain scheduler. To illustrate the successful applicationof the proposed control law to the automatic landing control problem, numericalsimulation is carried out based on the longitudinal nonlinear airplane model excited bythe wind shear turbulence. The simulation results show that the automatic landingmaneuver is successfully achieved with the satisfactory performance and the gainadaptation of the control law is made adequately within the limited gains.

  • This paper presents a spiral descending path and a landing guidance law for net-recovery of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle. The net-recovery landing flight is divided into two phases. In the first phase, a spiral descending path is designed from an arbitrary initial position to a final approaching waypoint toward the recovery net. The flight path angle is controlled to be aligned to the approaching direction at the end of the spiral descent. In the second phase, the aircraft is guided from the approaching waypoint to the recovery net using a pseudo pursuit landing guidance law. Six degree-of-freedom simulation is performed to verify the performance of the proposed landing guidance law.

  • It is difficult to establish a mathematical furnace model and automatic-fumace control because of the difficulty in direct measurement of the inner condition of a blast furnace. To solve this problem, we has developed and actually operated a blast furnace operation control system using artificial intelligence tool to be applied to the blast furnace process computer system. Since this system has a function of automatic Treat level control, higher practicality has been proved than the previous guidance-level expert system. This paper introduces an outline of the system and the result of application.

  • Flash flood is a dangerous weather phenomenon, affecting humans and the economy. The identification, forecast of the changing trend and its characteristics are increasingly concerned. In the world, there have many methods for determining the characteristics of flash floods, in which flash flood guidance (FFG) is a fast, effective and widely used method. The main source of flash floods is short-term rainfall. In this study, we used the data of cross-sectional measurement at the tributaries and the hourly rain data from the automatic rainfall measurement stations in the Geum river basin. Besides, we use a combination of the flash flood guidance and the best fit distribution function to estimate the repeatability of flash floods for head-water catchments in Geum river basin. In which, FFG determines the threshold of rainfall for flash floods. The study has determined the best hourly rainfall distribution function for the Geum river basin and estimated the maximum rainfall of 1hr according to the return periods.
