The reduction of the vehicle interior noise has been the main interest of NVH engineers. The driver's perception on the vehicle noise is affected largely by psychoacoustic characteristic of the noise as well as the SPL. In particular, the HVAC sound among the vehicle interior noise has been reflected sensitively in the side of psychology. Even though the HVAC noise is not louder than overall noise level, it clearly affects subjective perception in the way of making a diver become nervous or annoyed. Therefore, these days a vehicle engineer takes aim at developing sound quality as well as reduction of noise. In this paper, we acquired noises in the HVAC from many vehicles. Through the objective and subjective sound quality evaluation with acquiring noises caused by the vehicle HVAC system, the simple and multiple regression models were obtained for the subjective evaluation 'Pleasant' using the sound quality metrics. The regression procedure also allows you to produce diagnostic statistics to evaluate the regression estimates including appropriation and accuracy. Furthermore, the neural network model were obtained using three inputs(loudness, sharpness and roughness) of the sound quality metrics and one output(subjective 'Pleasant'). And then the models were compared with correlations between sound quality index outputs and hearing test results for 'Pleasant'. As a result of application of the sound quality index, the neural network was verified with the largest correlation of the sound quality index.

Bimodal Tram is the new conceptual and environmental-friendly public transportation which adopted series hybrid system. The generator driven by CNG engine supplies the electric power to Battery and traction motor. The generator installed on the vehicle will experience the mechanical vibration and electrical transient variation. Those may cause some defects on the generator which will be the hazardous effects to the vehicle. This paper has investigated the possibility to find out some diagnostic features for the defects of generator through the voltage and current generated from it. Those were analyzed in both time and frequency regions. For the next, more works will be needed to complete the purpose of this paper.

The Train Networks has a goal which requires the fast and correct data communication for distributable equipment systems. For this, in 1999, some train makers had established the standard TCN(IEC61375-1) for the inter-operating between equipment systems. Recently, TCN is being used in EU, China and the requirement to use it is growing up by many other countries more and more. The TCN was adopted at Korea High-speed Train with first in Korea, and Rotem Company finished the design of TCMS with TCN network for Istanbul EMU and KTX-2 Train and tests them. TCN(Train Communication Networks) defines the set of communication vehicle buses and train buses. The MVB(Multifunction Vehicle Bus) defines the data communication interface of equipment located in a vehicle and the WTB(Wire Train Bus) defines the data communication interface between vehicles. This paper examines whether the result of on-board test is satisfied with the IEC61375-1(International Electrotechnical Commission 61375-1) which is the international standard of TCN and introduce the results.

Low cost launch vehicle for next-generation is underway in advanced space countries such as the United States, Europe, Japan and China. This paper surveys the latest technological trends in avionics system, including ground management system. In the case of on-board equipment, to make short the development period and reduce the cost, the equipment is standardized and modularized for each functions to flexibly respond to changes in system requirements. In addition, a network is applied to all inter-equipment interfaces and a powerful self-diagnostic function is included in the equipment to realize automation/simplification of the interface with the ground system, and it is confirmed that an efficient launcher system is realized.

The Train Diagnostic and Control System(TDCS) has been equipped on the modern Metro Vehicle, Locomotive and High Speed Train. The main purpose of this system is to support the identification of train status by real-time, the fast action against such failure events during revenue service and the fast convenient maintenance processes. Some of newest TCMS, a kind of control and monitoring system, has participated in the main control functions such as pantograph up and down, powering and braking command and so on. But these kind of control functions of the high speed train which has the operating speed over 300km/h are conducted by the train electrical logic circuits. The KTX-I and KTX-II - the local high speed train, are the typical example. The next generation TDCS for the ongoing project of distributed high speed train(HEMU) is designing with the target to increase main train control functions, to increase the reliability/avalibility and to increase the convenient driving. This paper introduces the overall configurations and functions of the new generation TDCS.

The UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that is remotely operating in various and long flight environments must have a very reliable propulsion system. Precise fault diagnosis of the turbo shaft engine for the Smart UAV that has the vertical take-off, landing and forward flight behaviors can promote reliability and availability. This work proposes a new diagnostic method that can identify the faulted components from engine measuring parameter changes using Fuzzy Logic and quantify its faults from the identified fault pattern using Neural Network Algorithms. The proposed diagnostic method can detect not only single fault but also multiple faults.

Electronic control units (ECUs) are currently popular, and have evolved further towards the high-end application of autonomous vehicles in the automotive industry. Such digital technologies have also become widespread, in agriculture and construction equipment. Likewise, transmission control of high-speed tracked vehicles is based on the transmission control unit (TCU), performing complex gear change control functions, and diagnostic algorithms (a TCU's self-diagnostic and reporting capability of malfunction data through CAN communication). Since all functions of TCU are implemented by embedded-software, it is hardly possible to analyze specifications by reverse engineering. In this paper a real-time transmission simulator adaptable to TCU is presented, for analysis of diagnosis algorithm and standards. Signal simulation circuits are deliberately designed considering electrical characteristics of TCU inputs and various analysis tools, such as analog input auto scan function, and global output enable switch, are implemented in software. Test results from hardware-in-the-loop simulator verify tolerance time for each error, as well as cause of fault, error reset conditions.

Recent vehicles are using car internal network for various purposes such as vehicle control, diagnostic functions, and ECU program upgrade. Currently CAN and FlexRay are the most representative networks. In the next-generation network, the use of CAN FD and car ethernet is actively studied. In this paper, we aimed to compare and evaluate the diagnostic function and the program of the ECU from the upgrade view on characteristics related to download time for each network when CAN, CAN FD, and FlexRay network are applied. As a result of the simulation, it was possible to determine that the CAN FD network is currently the most suitable for the next-generation network by suppressing other networks in terms of cost performance even under conditions of 500 Kbps and 2 Mbps which are practically usable speeds.

An intelligent performance diagnostic program using the Neural Network was proposed for PW206C turboshaft engine. It was selected as a power plant for the tilt rotor type Smart UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) which has been developed by KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute). For teaming the NN, a BPN with one hidden, one input and one output layer was used. The input layer had seven neurons of variations of measurement parameters such as SHP, MF, P2, T2, P4, T4 and T5, and the output layer used 6 neurons of degradation ratios of flow capacities and efficiencies for compressor, compressor turbine and power turbine. Database for network teaming and test was constructed using a gas turbine performance simulation program. From application results for diagnostics of the PW206C turboshaft engine using the learned networks, it was confirmed that the proposed diagnostics algorithm could detect well the single fault types such as compressor fouling and compressor turbine erosion.
