There is a need for a system that provides early warning of presence and type of failure of automobile wheel bearings through the application of predictive fault analysis technologies. In this paper, we presented a sensor module mounted on a wheel bearing and a diagnostic system that collects, stores and analyzes vehicle acceleration information and vibration information from the sensor module. The developed sensor module and predictive analysis system was tested and evaluated thorough excitation test equipment and real automotive vehicle to prove the effectiveness.

In this paper, we present a remote measurement system for the wireless monitoring of ECU Sensor Signals of vehicle. In order to measure the ECU sensor signals, the interface circuit is designed to communicate ECU and designed terminal wirelessly according to the ISO, SAE regulation of communication protocol standard. A micro-controller 80C196KC is used for communicating ECU sensor signals. ECU sensor signals are transmitted to the RF-wireless terminal that was developed using the micro controller 80386EX. LCD, and RF-module. 80386EX software is programmed to monitor the ECU sensor signals using the Borland C++ compiler in which the half duplex method was used for the RS232 communication. The algorithms for measuring the ECU sensor signals are verified to monitor ECU state. At the same time, the information to fix the vehicle's problem can be shown on the developed monitoring software. The possibility for remote measurement of ECU sensor signals using 80386EX is also verified through the developed systems and algorithms.

The train control and monitoring system (TCMS) is an on board computer system in railway vehicles performing the control, supervisory and diagnostic functions of the complete train system. This system replaces a lot of hard-wired relays and minimizes the necessary vehicle wiring thus increasing the reliability of the train. It is also one of more important equipment on vehicle to implement much higher safety and reliability train system. We studied a software design technique of TCMS using a CASE tool that is a kind of safety critical software engineering tool (SCADE). This tool has mainly four functions such as the graphical editor, the document maker, tile automatically code generator, and the test simulator. The several functions of TCMS are implemented in this software easily programmed using a functional block diagram and a graphic programming language. We applied to automatically generated TCMS modules on the SCADE each functional block for the Standard type EMU in Korea. We performed the combination test using TCMS simulator and the running test in Seoul subway 7 Line. We proved that this technique is more useful for the software design of TCMS in urban transit

As the digital control technologies in automotive industry have advanced, electronic control units(ECUs) play a key-role to improve system performance. Transmission control unit(TCU) is a shifting controller for automatic transmission of which major functions are to determine the shift and manage the shifting process considering the various sensor signal on transmission and driver's commands. As with any ECU in vehicle, TCU performs complex algorithms such as shift control, diagnostic and failsafe functions. However, firmware design analysis is hardly possible by the reverse engineering due to code protection. Transmission simulator is a hardware-in-the-loop simulator which enables TCU to work in normal mode by simulating the electrical signal of TCU interface. In this research, diagnosis and failsafe algorithm implemented on commercialized TCU is analyzed by using the transmission simulator that is developed for wheel loader construction vehicle. This paper gives various experimental results on the proportional solenoid current trajectories for different operating modes, error detection criterion and limphome mode gears for all the possible cases of clutch malfunction. The derived results for conventional TCU can be applied to the development of inherent TCU algorithms and the transmission simulator can also be utilized for the test of TCU to be developed.

The advances in Information Technology have made examining the condition of vehicles possible with using various functions of a Smart Phone. Users have not realized the necessity of auto diagnosis system, for previous system required professional knowledge about vehicles. Because of this inconvenience, special system which is easy to use and quick to grasp its condition by smart phone is asked for users. In this research, auto diagnosis system is designed in Windows Phone. The replacement cycles for auto consumables, examining vehicle problems, and information of eco driving indicator are delivered in real time for auto drivers by using OBD-II information which is through wifi module in OBD-II protocol adaptor connector.

This article is concerned with the technology to provide car driver the car's status which are composed of car trouble code in car engine and many sensors. In addition, it installs vehicle diagnostic programs on wireless communication's portable device, for example, Smart phone, PDA, PMP, UMPC. As a result, this is to provide car manager with many information of car sensors when we go to car maintenance. it can monitor relevant information on vehicle by portable device in real time, alert drivers with specific messages and also enable them to address abnormalities immediately. Moreover, the technology could help the drivers who perhaps don't know very well about their vehicles to drive safely and economically as well; the reason is because the whole system is composed of just Vehicle-information collecting device and personal wireless communication's portables and transfers the relating data to server computers through wireless network in order to handle information on vehicles. This technology make us monitor vehicle's running, failure and disorder by using wireless communication's portable device. Finally, this study system is composed of a lot of application to display us the car's status which get car's inner sensor information while driving a car.

Driving safety of a vehicle is largely influenced by the damper and the tire. Developed in this research is a fault diagnosis algorithm for the two components so that the driver can be promptly informed when fault occurs in one or both of them. To this end, the damper and the tire were modeled using the neural network from their experimental data, and fault diagnosis was made using frequency responses of the damping force and the dynamic wheel force. The algorithm was tested via experiments, and it demonstrated successful diagnostic performance under various driving conditions.

최근 자동차 급발진 문제가 사회적 이슈가 되고 있다. 기본 장착품으로 자리잡은 블랙박스에 찍힌 동영상이 유포되면서 급발진으로 의심되는 영상이 속속히 등장하고 있다. 지금까지 모든 급발진은 대부분 운전자의 실수로 판결났다. 미국에서도 자동차 결함을 인정하지 않으면서도 도의상 일부 보상해준 사례가 있으나 결론에는 차이가 없었다. 본 논문에서는 기존 블랙박스 영상만으로 차량 급발진 사고유무 분석이 어려웠던 부분을 OBD-II(Onboar Diagnostic-II)에 소형블랙박스를 장착하여 운전자가 패달을 밟았는지의 유무를 판단하고, 메모리카드가 장착이 됨으로써 OBD-II의 차량 정보 및 GPS를 이용한 현재 시간, 영상 정보를 저장하여 정확한 판단을 하기위해 OBD-II 내의 블랙박스를 적용한 시스템을 제안한다.
