Experiments are conducted to compare fuel economy of FTP-75 mode on two different lock-up conditions; (A) Lock-up on at engine speed of 1,200(rpm) and above for 3rd & 4th gear, (B) Lock-up on at engine speed of 1400rpm and above for 4th gear only. As a result, case A had better fuel economy about 2.75(%) than case B for FTP-75 mode. Simulation(CRUISE, AVL) study is also carried out in order to estimate the effect of Lock-up control strategy for vehicle fuel economy. The fuel economy simulation result agrees with the measured fuel economy within error of 2(%). The improved Lock-up control strategy is proposed by simulation.

There are a lot of factors influencing on the automobile fuel economy such as average speed, average acceleration, acceleration sum per kilometer, and so on. In this study, various driving data were recorded during road tests. The accumulated road test mileage in Seoul metropolitan area is around 1,300 kilometers. The data were analyzed by multivariate statistical techniques including correlation analysis, principal component analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis. The analyzed results show that the average trip time per kilometer is one of the most important factors to fuel consumption and the increase of the average speed is desirable for reducing emissions and fuel consumption.

There are a lot of factors that influence automotive fuel economy such as average trip time per kilometer, average trip speed, the number of times of vehicle stationary, and so forth. These factors depend on road conditions and traffic environment. In this study, various driving data were measured and recorded during road tests in Seoul. The accumulated road test mileage is around 1,300 kilometers. The objective of the study is to identify the driving patterns of the Seoul metropolitan area and to analyze the fuel economy based on these driving patterns. The driving data which was acquired through road tests was analysed statistically in order to obtain the driving characteristics via modal analysis, speed analysis, and speed-acceleration analysis. Moreover, the driving data was analyzed by multivariate statistical techniques including correlation analysis, principal component analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis in order to obtain the relationships between influencing factors on fuel economy. The analyzed results show that the average speed is around 29.2 km/h, and the average fuel economy is 10.23 km/L. The vehicle speed of the Seoul metropolitan area is slower, and the stop-and-go operation is more frequent than FTP-75 test mode which is used for emission and fuel economy tests. The average trip time per kilometer is one of the most important factors in fuel consumption, and the increase of the average speed is desirable for reducing emissions and fuel consumption.

대부분의 차량에 적용되어 있는 연료차단(fuel-cut) 관성주행은 변속기어 체결 상태에서 가속페달을 방치할 때 자동으로 작동하게 된다. 이 때 연료분사가 일시적으로 중단되므로 연비 향상 효과가 상당하다. 본 연구에서는 GPS를 이용하여 측정된 차속, 가속도, 도로구배 등의 신호를 바탕으로 하는 연료차단 관성주행 감지법을 제안하였다. 관성 주행시 작용하는 주행저항력에 의해 계산되는 가속도값과 GPS에서 실시간으로 측정되는 가속도값을 비교하는 방식이다. 실도로 주행 데이터를 측정하여 이 감지법을 평가한 결과 약 80% 수준의 정확도를 얻을 수 있었다. 도로구배가 다소 큰 12km 정도의 국도를 16분 동안 주행하면서 측정한 약 9,600개의 속도, 가속도, 도로구배 및 연료소모량 데이터에 감지법을 적용하여 얻은 결과이다. 인젝터 분사파형 분석을 위한 배선작업 등이 불필요하여 간단하게 연료차단여부를 판정할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 다만, 속도, 가속도 및 도로구배의 변화율이 연료소모량의 변화율에 비해 훨씬 크게 나타나기 때문에 감지법의 오차도 다소 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, an engine-CVT integrated control algorithm is suggested by considering the inertia torque and the CVT ratio change response lag in acceleration. In order to compensate for drive torque time delay due to CVT response lag, two algorithms are presented: (1) an optimal engine torque compensation algorithm, and (2) an optimal engine speed compensation algorithm. Simulation results show that the optimal engine speed compensation algorithm gives better engine operation around the optimal operation point compared to the optimal torque compensation while showing nearly the same acceleration response. The performance of the proposed engine-CVT integrated control algorithms are compared with those of conventional CVT control, and It is found that optimal engine operation can be achieved by using integrated control during acceleration, and improved fuel economy can be expected while also satisfying the driver's demands.
