As the vehicle becomes bigger and faster, the importance of vehicle stability in an extreme driving condition caused by sudden steering, road condition or unexpected case has been emphasized. The ESP system is being utilized to improve the handling performance and the vehicle stability. In this study, we implemented various tests and proposed estimation methods for ESP characteristics in extreme driving situations. The estimation methods for ESP proposed in this paper are expected to facilitate developing the control logic and improving the performance of the ESP system.

We have developed an active front steering system(AFS) with a planetary gear train, which can vary the steering gear ratio according to the vehicle speed and improve vehicle stability by superimposing steering angle. We conducted vehicle tests showing that co-operated control of AFS with ESP can improve vehicle stability by direct control of tire slip angle and that steering reaction torque during AFS intervention can be compensated by torque compensation using electric power steering.

The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is an active control system that controls the posture of the vehicle by sensing the unstable state of the vehicle during braking, driving, or turning. The system works if the vehicle becomes unstable and it is very dangerous to develop it in the actual vehicle. For this reason, many studies have been carried out on the method of developing with simulation such as SIL / EIL. Some advanced companies have already applied it to the product development process. In this study, ESP hydraulic system and braking device model were constructed using SimulationX to build ESP SIL / EIL model. The hydraulic system model was constructed using the actual design parameters and the performance of the hydraulic model was verified by comparing with the actual vehicle test.

교통 약자 승객의 편의성 증대, 도심의 매연 감소 및 온실가스 저감 등 대중 교통 선진화를 위해 친환경 초저상 전기버스의 개발이 필요하다. 초저상 전기버스는 초저상 액슬 일체형 휠모터 구동시스템을 탑재한 형태로 구현이 가능하며, 초저상 액슬 일체형 휠모터 구동시스템은 구동 모터를 액슬 허브에 일체화 시킴으로써 기존 구동시스템 대비 무게 및 사이즈가 대폭 줄어들고, 동력 전달 매커니즘을 획기적으로 개선하여 효율 향상 및 차량 연비 개선이 가능하다. 특히 바퀴 중심과 액슬 출력 중심에 단차를 둠으로써 차량의 전방 바닥 뿐만 아니라 후방바닥을 평평하게 유지할 수 있어 실내 공간이 획기적으로 개선되어 교통 약자를 포함한 승객의 편의성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 또한, 액슬 일체형 휠모터 구동시스템은 각 휠의 분산 구동이 가능하므로 동특성 및 구동제어성이 뛰어나고, ESP(Electronic Stability Program), VDC(Vehicle Dynamic Control) 등과 연계하여 통합적인 지능형 시스템을 구현할 수 있다. 액슬 일체형 휠모터 구동시스템은 휠모터와 감속기 및 휠모터제어기 등으로 구성되며, 본 논문에서는 초저상 액슬 일체형 구동시스템용 120kW급 휠모터 및 휠모터제어기의 개발 및 다이나모 환경에서 T-N 특성 및 최대 출력 시험, 효율 시험을 통해 전기버스 등 대형 차량(Heavy Duty Vehicle)에 적용 가능한 전기동력시스템의 성능을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a method that can be used for the resistance estimation of a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)-driven solenoid. By using estimated solenoid resistance, the PWM duty ratio was compensated to be proportional to the solenoid current. The proposed method was developed for use with EHB (Electro-Hydraulic Braking) systems, which are essential features of the regenerative braking system of many electric vehicles. Because the HU (Hydraulic Unit) of most EHB systems performs not only ABS/TCS/ESP (Electronic Stability Program) functions but also service braking function, the possible duration of continuous solenoid driving is so long that the generated heat can drastically change the level of solenoid resistance. The current model of the PWM-driven solenoid is further developed in this paper; from this a new resistance equation is derived. This resistance equation is solved by using an iterative method known as the FPT (fixed point theorem). Furthermore, by taking the average of the resistance estimates, it was possible to successfully eliminate the effect of measurement noise factors. Simulation results showed that the proposed method contained a sufficient pass-band in the frequency response. Experimental results also showed that adaptive solenoid driving which incorporates resistance estimations is able to maintain a linear relationship between the PWM duty ratio and the solenoid current in spite of a wide variety of ambient temperatures and continuous driving.
