Recently, Massive energy consumption in Cloud Storage System has attracted great attention both in industry and research community. However, most of the solutions utilize single method to reduce the energy consumption only in one aspect. This paper proposed an energy effective gear-shifting mechanism (E2GSM) in Cloud Storage System to save energy consumption from multi-aspects. E2GSM is established on data classification mechanism and data replication management strategy. Data is classified according to its properties and then be placed into the corresponding zones through the data classification mechanism. Data replication management strategies determine the minimum replica number through a mathematical model and make decision on replica placement. Based on the above data classification mechanism and replica management strategies, the energy effective gear-shifting mechanism (E2GSM) can automatically gear-shifting among the nodes. Mathematical analytical model certificates our proposed E2GSM is energy effective. Simulation experiments based on Gridsim show that the proposed gear-shifting mechanism is cost effective. Compared to the other energy-saved mechanism, our E2GSM can save energy consumption substantially at the slight expense of performance loss while meeting the QoS of user.

This paper proposes a driver supportive device with haptic cue function which can be applicable for vehicles adopting manual transmission system to transmit gear-shifting information to a driver by kinesthetic forces. This haptic cue function is implemented on accelerator pedal by utilizing magnetorheological(MR) fluid and clutch mechanism. In order to achieve this goal, an MR clutch mechanism is devised to be capable of rotary motion of accelerator pedal. The proposed MR clutch is then optimally designed and manufactured under consideration of spatial limitation of vehicles. After transmission torque is experimentally evaluated according to field intensity. The manufactured MR clutch is integrated with accelerator pedal and electric motor to establish the haptic cue device. Control performances are experimentally evaluated via a simple feed-forward control algorithm.

This paper proposes a driver supportive device with haptic cue function which can transmit optimal gear shifting timing to a driver without requiring the driver's visual attention. Its performance is evaluated under vehicle model considering automotive engine, transmission and vehicle body. In order to achieve this goal, a torque feedback device is devised and manufactured by adopting the MR (magnetorheological) fluid and clutch mechanism. The manufactured MR clutch is then integrated with the accelerator pedal to construct the proposed haptic cue device. A virtual vehicle emulating a four-cylinder four-stroke engine, manual transmission system of a passenger vehicle and vehicle body is constructed and communicated with the manufactured haptic cue device. Control performances including torque tracking and fuel efficiency are experimentally evaluated via a simple feed-forward control algorithm.

본 연구에서는 초소형 특수목적형 전기자동차에 적용 가능한 초소형 변속기에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 일반적으로 전기자동차에서는 다단 기어형태의 변속기를 삭제하고 모터의 출력을 제어하거나 감속기를 통해 초기 구동력을 확보한다. 그러나 전기카트나 경형 전기자동차와 같은 초소형 차량에서는 배터리 용량이 상대적으로 적기 때문에 적재 상태에 따라 주행 거리가 감소하거나 모터에 부하가 가해질 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 CVT(Continuously Variable Transmission)의 변속 메커니즘을 적용하여, 구배 상태나 적재 상태와 같은 필요한 상황에서 변속이 가능한 고단 0.625와 저단1.6의 기어비를 갖는 2단 구조의 감속기를 개발하였다. 선정된 기어비를 기반으로 변속기를 설계하고, 개발된 변속기의 동력 전달 효율을 검증하기 위해 시험기를 제작하였다. 이 시험기를 통해 변속기의 회전 속도와 부하량을 변화시키며 동력 전달 효율 특성을 확인하고, 변속과 구동 시 발생되는 발열 특성도 확인하였다. 그 결과를 토대로 CVT구조를 갖는 2단 구조의 변속기를 개발하였다.
