Underwater robotic vehicles(URVs) are used for various work assignments such as pipe-lining, inspection, data collection, drill support, hydrography mapping, construction, maintenance and repairing of undersea equipment, etc. As the use of such vehicles increases the development of vehicles having greater autonomy becomes highly desirable. The vehicle control system is one of the most critic vehicle subsystems to increase autonomy of the vehicle. The vehicle dynamics is nonlinear and time-varying. Hydrodynamic coefficients are often difficult to accurately estimate. It was also observed by experiments that the effect of electrically powered thruster dynamics on the vehicle become significant at low speed or stationkeeping. The conventional linear controller with fixed gains based on the simplified vehicle dynamics, such as PID, may not be able to handle these properties and result in poor performance. Therefore, it is desirable to have a control system with the capability of learning and adapting to the changes in the vehicle dynamics and operating parameters and providing desired performance. This paper presents an adaptive and learning control system which estimates a new set of parameters defined as combinations of unknown bounded constants of system parameter matrices, rather than system parameters. The control system is described with the proof of stability and the effect of unmodeled thruster dynamics on a single thruster vehicle system is also investigated.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, combustion of petroleum-based and other fossil fuels results in the increasing atmospheric concentrations of $CO_2$ and other greenhouse gases (GHG's) and is a major contributing factor to global warming. This paper includes estimates of the energy and petroleum use and the GHG emissions caused by the transportation sector. It then examines the extent to which diversions to alternative modes may be possible. Estimates are made of the potential reductions in energy and petroleum use and GHG emissions resulting from diversions from conventional modes, to both low-speed urban and high-speed intercity maglev vehicle trips based on "well-to-wheel" (i.e. total-fuel-cycle) calculations.

Recently, the interior permanent magnet (IPM) motors for electric vehicle (EV) traction motor are being extensively researched because of its high energy density and high efficiency. The traction motor for EV requires high power and high efficiency at the wide driving region. Therefore, it is essential to fully consider the characteristics of the motor from low speed to high-speed driving regions. Especially, when the motor is driven at high speed, a significant centrifugal force is applied to the rotor. Thus, the rotor must be stably structured and be fully endured at the critical speed. In this paper, aims to examine the characteristics of the IPM motor by adjusting the width of air-barrier according to the permanent magnet position which is critical in designing an IPM motor for EV traction motors and to conduct a centrifugal force analysis for grasping mechanical safety.

Recently, the research focused on fuel cell hybrid vehicles (FCHVs) is becoming an attractive solution due to environmental pollution generated by fossil fuel vehicles. The proper energy control strategy will result in extending the fuel cell lifetime, increasing of energy efficiency and an improvement of vehicle performance. Battery state of charge (SoC) is an important quantity and the estimation of the SoC is also the basis of the energy control strategy for hybrid electric vehicles. Estimating the battery's SoC is complicated by the fact that the SoC depends on many factors such as temperature, battery capacitance and internal resistance. In this paper, battery charging time estimated by SoC is studied by using the speed response and current response. Hybrid system is consist of a fuel cell unit and a battery in series connection. For experiment, speed response of vehicle and current response of battery were determined under different state of charge. As the results, the optimal battery charging time can be estimated. Current response time was faster than RPM response time at low speed and vice versa at high speed.

대부분의 자동차 사고는 졸음운전과 같은 운전자의 부주의로 인해 발생한다. 전방 추돌 경보 시스템 (FCWS)은 전방 차량으로부터 추돌 위험을 감지하여 운전자에게 사전에 경고함으로써 사고의 위험을 현저하게 줄여준다. 본 논문은 주행 안전을 위한 저전력 임베디드 기반 FCWS를 소개한다. 단일 카메라로부터 전방 차량에 대해 검출, 추적, 거리를 계산하고 현재 차량의 속도 정보를 통해 충돌시간 (TTC)을 계산한다. 또한 저성능 임베디드 시스템에서 실시간으로 동작하기 위해 높고 낮은 수준의 프로그램 최적화 기법을 소개한다. 이 시스템은 임베디드 시스템에서 사전에 취득해둔 주행 영상을 통해서 테스트 하였다. 최적화 기법을 사용한 결과는 이전에 최적화를 하지 않은 프로세스 보다 실행 시간이 약 170배 향상되었다.

본 논문에서는 커러영상처리로 차량 후면에 위치하고 붉은색을 띄는 미등과 브레이크등을 이용하여 저속주행환경에서 근거리 전방차량을 추적하는 방법에 대해 설명한다. HSV 컬러모델로 변환된 컬러영상에서 미등과 브레이크등의 컬러특징을 이용하여 후보영역을 분할한 후, 미등과 브레이크등 패턴의 기하학적 특징과 위치적 특징을 이용하여 한 쌍의 미등 혹은 브레이크등을 탐지한다. 탐지된 등의 위치를 이용하여 전방차량의 위치를 측정하고 연속적으로 추적한다. 또한, 등 영역내의 HSV 컬러요소 변화를 측정하여 전방차량의 브레이크 사용여부를 판단한다. 도심지의 도로영상을 이용한 실험에서 성공적으로 근거리 전방차량을 추적할 수 있었으며, 주간보다 야간에서 효과적으로 적용될 수 있었다. 또한 본 알고리즘이 구현된 컬러비전시스템을 무인자동차 KAV-III(Korea Autonomous Vehicle-III)에 탑재하여 야간에 자동으로 전방차량을 15km/h의 속도로 따라갈 수 있는 결과를 얻었다. 이 방법은 도심지에서 가다서다를 반복하는 저속주행환경에서 차량 스스로 운전하여 운전자의 부담을 줄일 수 있는 LSA(Low Speed Automation)시스템 개발에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

An experimenal study on flight control of high-speed AEV(Aero-levitation Electric Vehicle) scale model in wind-tunnel is conducted. The AEV is to fly at very low altitude in predesigned track so that it is always under the wing-in-ground effect. The experiment is intended to fly the scale model to follow the predesigned altitude schedule while holding its attitude (pitch, roll, and yaw). Especially, the altitude changes for climb, cruise, and descent with constant pitch angle are most important maneuvers. The experiment shows that the required mission flights can be performed with appropriate sensors, processors, and actuators.
