Repeated hardware tests and tuning, investing cost and time, are usually required to assure a satisfactory performance of the suspension seat. In this study, an EILS(ECU-in-the-loop) method was proposed to develop a controller for a semi-active suspension seat with a MR(magneto-rheological) damper. EILS system was developed using a real-time seat dynamics model communicating with ECU hardwares under a closed loop environment utilizing Matlab/Simulink and xPC $TargetBox^{TM}$. A sky-hook based control algorithm with optimized damping coefficients was verified to reduce the energy consumption and to improve the vibration response performance.

This paper shows how the performance of an ESC(Electronic Stability Control) system can be affected by the selection of in-vehicle network protocols such as CAN or FlexRay. The vehicle control performance under ESC operation is analyzed by EILS(ECU-In-the-Loop Simulation). The experimental set-up for the EILS of the ESC system consists of two 32-bit microcontroller boards communicated with CAN or FlexRay protocols. A 7-DOF vehicle model and an ESC algorithm with 2-DOF reference vehicle model are implemented on each microcontroller respectively. It is shown by experimental results that the ESC system using the FlexRay protocol can achieve better performance than that using the CAN protocol for a fast and accurate lane changing.

본 논문에서는, 차량 섀시 제어시스템 중 ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control)와 LKS(Lane Keeping System)를 통합하여 차량용 OS인 OSEK OS 기반으로 구현하고 실험을 통하여 그 성능을 분석한다. 최근 자동차의 안전성을 향상시키기 위해 능동 안전 및 운전자 지원 시스템이 논의 되고 있다. 그 중 차량의 종방향에 대한 가감속 제어를 수행하는 ACC와 차량이 차선을 유지할 수 있도록 보조해주는 LKS를 통합하여 차량 내 제어시스템을 구현한다. 구현한 제어시스템은 차량용 소프트웨어의 재사용성과 안전성 및 응용 소프트웨어의 하드웨어 의존성 제거 등을 목표로 표준 제안된 OSEK/VDX를 적용한다. OSEK/VDX에서 지원하는 OSEK OS를 기반으로 재설계한 제어시스템은 실시간 태스크 관리와 인터럽트 처리 및 공유자원 관리가 가능하다. EILS(ECU-In-the-Loop Simulation) 수행 결과에 의해 OSEK OS 기반의 ACC/LKS 통합제어기와 기존 일체형 펌웨어로 구현한 ACC/LKS 통합제어기가 대등함을 입증한다.

In this paper, we propose an alternative method of communication to improve the reliability of in-vehicle networks by jointly using wireless communication networks. Wired Communication networks have been used in vehicles for the monitoring and the control of vehicle motion, however, the disconnection of wires or hardware fault of networks may cause a critical problem in vehicles. If the network manager detects a disconnection or faults in wired in-vehicle network like the Controller Area Network(CAN), it can redirect the communication path from the wired to the wireless communication like the Zigbee network. To show the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed in-vehicle network architecture, we implement the Electronic Stability Control(ESC) system as ECU-In-the-Loop Simulation(EILS) and verify that the control performance can be kept well even if some hardware faults like disconnection of wires occur.
