Recently, the performance and function of electrical and electronic system in automotive vehicles is developing at a rapid rate with the advancement of IT technologies. Combined together with micro-controller and sensor technologies, the Vehicle Smart System (VSS) being developed to improve driver's convenience and comfort has been employed to a variety of applications. In addition to the convenience system, the Auto-parking Assistance System (AAS) that is now attracting a new attention has been already applied to some vehicles, but it is currently limited to luxury car models only. In this paper, we present a fuzzy controller that enables autonomous parking assistance without the AAS. The controller can perform the assistance with information provided from moving status, current position and steering angle as one is able to park a car based on his/her experience and knowledge for driving and parking. We have evaluated its performance of the proposed controller by simulation and tested the excellence of the controller by building a model vehicle embedded with the micro-controllers.

첨단 운전자 보조시스템(ADAS, Advanced Driver Assist System)의 주요 기술에는 적응형 순항 제어(ACC, Advanced Cruise Control), 주행 조향보조 시스템(LKAS, Lane Keeping Assist System), 자동 긴급제동 시스템(AEB, Autonomous Emergency Braking) 등이 있다. ADAS 중 LKAS는 카메라(camera)와 적외선 센서(sensor)를 사용하여 운전자가 의도하지 않은 차선이탈이 발생하였을 때, 조향 보조장치를 제어하여 주행 차선으로 복귀하는 시스템이다. 이러한 시스템의 안전성 평가와 검증을 위해 실차시험을 진행한다. 그러나 LKAS 동작 후 임의의 추가 조향각이 인가될 경우에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 본 논문에서는 선행연구에서 제안한 시나리오에 대해 Prescan을 이용하여 추가 조향각 인가 모델링(modeling)기법을 개발하고 시뮬레이션(simulation) 하고, 실차시험을 통해 취득한 데이터(data)와의 비교분석으로 모델링 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 앞바퀴부터 차선까지 최대 거리오차는 0.56 m이며, 시뮬레이션과 실차시험의 차선 복귀 속도의 차이로 인해 발생하였다. 시뮬레이션과 달리 실차시험은 주행 차선으로 복귀 속도가 느려 이탈하는 차의 횡방향 변화가 상대적으로 적어 시뮬레이션과 오차가 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 시뮬레이션과 실차시험 값의 비교분석 결과 차선복귀 속도 차이는 있지만 앞바퀴부터 차선까지 거리가 약 0.5m로 수렴하는 경향성을 나타내어 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper we present the Bimodal-tram simulator using the PXI embedded real-time controllers. The Bimodal-tram is developed in KRRI (Korea Railroad Research Institute). The vehicle can be automatically operated by navigation control system (NCS). For the automatic driving, the vehicle lanes will be marked with permanent magnets that are placed in the ground. The vehicle is controlled by NCS. NCS governs the manual mode and automatic mode driving. The simulator is designed by an identical conception with the real control condition. The dynamic motion of vehicle is simulated by the nonlinear dynamic model. The control computer calculates the control values. The signal interface is linked by CAN communication. The simulation is processed by real-time base. The test driver can see the graphic motion of vehicle and can operate the steering wheel, gas and brake pedal to control direction and velocity of vehicle during the simulation. At present, the simulator is only operated by manual mode. The automatic mode will be linked after the control algorithm is finished. We will use the simulator to develop the control algorithm in the automatic mode. This paper shows the simulator designed for Bimodal-tram using real-time based controller. The results of the test using the simulator are presented and discussed.

본 논문은 전방차량 추적에 있어서 스테레오 카메라 패러렐 모델을 사용하여 전방 차량과의 거리 및 헤딩앵글 데이터를 추출하고 이들 데이터를 이용하여 무인자동차 ART(Binocular Autonomous Research Team vehicle)를 제어하는 방법에 관한 것이다. 무인자동창의 제어는 2개의 역전달 뉴럴네트워크의 일종인 TDNN(Time De-lay Neural Network)을 각각 독립적으로 사용하였다. 그중 하나는 S-TDNN으로 추적차량의 속도와 전방차량과의 거리를 제어하며, 다른 하나는 A-TDNN으로 무인차량의 스티어링 앵글을 전담 제어한다. 인간 운전자가 전방차량을 추적하면서 수집한 제이터를 이용하여 상기 뉴럴네트워크를 학습시키며, 학습된 뉴럴네트워크는 인간이 운전하였을 때와 같은 조건하에서 전방차량의 추적을 만족스럽게 수행하였다. 뉴럴네트워크를 이용한 제어프 로그램은 이식성이 높아 다른 종류의 차량에도 쉽게 적용할 수 있어 타모델에 적용 시에 개발경비와 소요 시간을 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다.

This paper presents dynamic modeling and controller design of a tracked vehicle installed with the double rod type ERSU(electro-rheological suspension unit). A 16 degree-of-freedom model for the tracked vehicle is established by Lagrangian method followed by the formulation of a new sky-ground hook controller. This controller takes account for both the ride quality and the steering stability. The weighting parameter between the two performance requirements is adopted to adjust required performance characteristics with respect to the operation conditions such as road excitation. The parameter is appropriately determined by employing a fuzzy algorithm associated with the vehicle motion. Computer simulations are undertaken in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system. Acceleration values at the driver's seat are analyzed under bump road profile, while frequency responses of vertical acceleration are investigated under random road excitation.

In this study, an integrated motor control algorithm for an in-wheel electric vehicle is suggested. It consists of slip control that controls the in-wheel motor torque using the road friction coefficient and slip ratio; yaw rate control that controls the in-wheel motor torque according to the road friction coefficient and the yaw rate error; and velocity control that controls the vehicle velocity by a weight factor based on the road friction coefficient and the yaw rate error. A co-simulator was developed, which combined the vehicle performance simulator based on MATLAB/Simulink and the vehicle model of CarSim. Based on the co-simulator, a human-in-the-loop simulation environment was constructed, in which a driver can directly control the steering wheel, the accelerator pedal, and the brake pedal in real time. The performance of the integrated motor control algorithm for the in-wheel electric vehicle was evaluated through human-in-the-loop simulations.

In order to reduce the time and costs of improving the performance of vehicle suspensions, the techniques for optimizing damping and air spring characteristic were proposed. A full vehicle model for a bus is constructed with a car body, front and rear suspension linkages, air springs, dampers, tires, and a steering system. An air spring and a damper are modeled with nonlinear characteristics using experimental data and a curve fitting technique. The objective function for ride quality is WRMS (Weighted RMS) of the power spectral density of the vertical acceleration at the driver's seat, middle seat and rear seat. The objective function for handling performance is the RMS (Root Mean Squares) of the roll angle, roll rate, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration at the center of gravity of a body during a lane change. The design variables are determined by damping coefficients, damping exponents and curve fitting parameters of air spring characteristic curves. The Taguchi method is used in order to investigate sensitivity of design variables. Since ride and handling performances are mutually conflicting characteristics, the validity of the developed optimum design procedure is demonstrated by comparing the trends of ride and handling performance indices with respect to the ratio of weighting factors. The global criterion method is proposed to obtain the solution of multi-objective optimization problem.
