An attitude control of an air vehicle based on the variable structure control is proposed. For an air vehicle, minimum weight is required. Thus, it is desired to reduce the input energy. The optimal state portrait curve using time-varying sliding surface is proposed to reduce the control energy. Tracking performance of the closed loop system is guaranteed under the existence of parameter variation and external disturbances.

Urban maglev should have such characteristics as not only environmentally friendliness and excellent driving capability but also curve negotiation performance because its routes have many sharp curves. Due to normal mechanism of urban maglev its relative displacements of secondary spring are bigger than conventional railway vehicle and the centering force of levitation magnet is smaller than wheel-on-rail system. These features of maglev affect the curving negotiation and so the additional steering device is to be required on Urban maglev to improve the running performance at sharp curve of less than about R50m. Some developed urban maglev had the passive steering device which consists of mechanical linkage or hydraulic cylinder and closed-route piping. But it has drawback as complexity of layout of understructure of vehicle and functional limitation of passive mechanism regarding transient curve. These demerits could be solved by using active steering system. But it has a weak point that an active device should have actuators and additional inverter or hydraulic power source. In this paper, the semi-active steering system for urban maglev is to be introduced.

철도차량 곡선구간 주행 시 곡선주행성능을 향상시키기 위한 능동형 철도차량 개발 분야에서 곡선구간을 실시간으로 인식하기 위한 기술 확보는 매우 중요하다. 그러나 고가의 전용 검측차량을 이용하거나 여러 가지 센서를 복합적으로 이용하는 기존의 곡률반경 추정방법은 실차에 적용하기에는 실용성이 미흡하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 실차에 적용이 용이하고 경제적인 곡률반경 추정방법을 제안하였다. 새로운 방법은 철도차량 곡선구간 주행 시 발행하는 차체와 대차간의 상대변위를 측정하여 곡률반경을 실시간으로 추정할 수 있는 방법이다. 본 제안 방법의 타당성을 검토하기 위하여 모사해석 및 실차시험을 수행하였으며 그 결과, 제안한 곡률반경 추정방법의 타당성을 확인하였다.

Using a conventional railway, a tilting train was applied as a means of improving vehicle speed during curve negotiation without any modification of infrastructure. As a study for the optimum design of the tilting mechanism of a tilting vehicle, the kinematics sensitivity of the tilting mechanism was analyzed. Using the geometric relationship of the linkage-type tilting mechanism, the relationship of the parameters and the performance index was defined using nonlinear algebraic equations. With the defined relation, the effect of change in the parameters on the performance was analyzed. The analysis result can be used in the optimum design of a tilting mechanism that considers the track environment, vehicle and operational condition in which the tilting vehicle is applied.

To be satisfied with complex load condition of electric vehicle, fuzzy logic control (FLC) is applied to improve speed response and system robust performance of induction traction machine based on indirect rotor field orientation control. The proposed propulsion system consists of two induction motors (IM) that ensure the drive of the two back driving wheels of lightweight electric vehicle by means the vehicle used for passenger transportation. The electronic differential system ensures the robust control of the vehicle behavior on the road. It also allows controlling, independently, every driving wheel to turn at different speeds in any curve. Our electric vehicle fuzzy inference system control's simulated in Matlab SIMULINK environment, the results obtained present the efficiency and the robustness of the proposed control with good performances compared with the traditional PI speed control, the FLC induction traction machine presents not only good steady characteristic, but with no overshoot too.

A suspension is a core part, determining running stability and riding quality of vehicles and its stiffness is essential parameters in the process of vehicle designing. Suspension stiffness shall be adjusted to meet requirements of running stability and curve running performance, as adding stiffness to primary suspension for running stability in high-speed running results running performance degradation in curved track. The purpose of the report lies in utilization of usable data for optimization of suspension via analyzing running performance through changing stiffness of railway vehicle suspension.

In order to reduce the time and costs of improving the performance of vehicle suspensions, the techniques for optimizing damping and air spring characteristic were proposed. A full vehicle model for a bus is constructed with a car body, front and rear suspension linkages, air springs, dampers, tires, and a steering system. An air spring and a damper are modeled with nonlinear characteristics using experimental data and a curve fitting technique. The objective function for ride quality is WRMS (Weighted RMS) of the power spectral density of the vertical acceleration at the driver's seat, middle seat and rear seat. The objective function for handling performance is the RMS (Root Mean Squares) of the roll angle, roll rate, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration at the center of gravity of a body during a lane change. The design variables are determined by damping coefficients, damping exponents and curve fitting parameters of air spring characteristic curves. The Taguchi method is used in order to investigate sensitivity of design variables. Since ride and handling performances are mutually conflicting characteristics, the validity of the developed optimum design procedure is demonstrated by comparing the trends of ride and handling performance indices with respect to the ratio of weighting factors. The global criterion method is proposed to obtain the solution of multi-objective optimization problem.

철도차량의 곡선주행성능은 유지보수관점에서 매우 중요하다. 곡선주행성능과 관련된 대차의 조향성능은 실차를 이용한 실선로 주행시험이 적전하나 차량 개발단계에서는 이를 검증하기가 용이하지 않다. 따라서 차량의 조향 특성을 효율적으로 시험하기 위한 축소 곡선트랙에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 대차의 곡선 주행을 모사하기 위한 곡률반경 $200{\sim}250m$의 급곡선과 등가인 1/5 scale 규모의 축소 곡선트랙을 설계, 제작하였다. 1/5 scale 대차를 이용한 주행시험 시험결과 곡선 주행특성이 비교적 잘 반영되고 있음을 확인하였다.

철도차량의 주행안전성과 승차감을 결정하는데 있어서 현가장치는 중요한 요소이며, 현가장치 강성은 차량 설계 단계의 중요한 설계변수이다. 고속에서의 주행안전성을 위해 1차 현가장치에 강한 강성을 부여하는데 이는 곡선 주행성능을 감소시키는 단점이 있어 주행안전성과 곡선주행성능을 절충하면서 현가장치의 강성을 조절하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 철도차량의 현가장치 강성을 변화시켜 가면서 주행안전성 향상을 위한 현가장치를 최적화하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 현가장치 최적화를 위해 1, 2차 현가장치의 위치 및 길이, 폭, 강성, 감쇠력 등을 설계 변수로 하여 해석을 진행하였다. 현가장치 최적화 해석결과, 1, 2축 내 외측 차륜의 탈선계수 값이 초기 모델과 비교하여 감소한 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

A haptic steering system which reflects steering reaction torque has been developed for a fixed base vehicle simulator. The haptic steering system consists of a steering effort sensor, MR-clutch, AC servo motor and controller. In order to generate realistic steering torque feel to driver and at the same time to meet real-time simulation requirement, 3D torque map is constructed by experimental data and torque generation algorithm using the torque map has been also developed. 3D torque map is constructed using curve fitting and interpolation of the measured values of the steering angle, velocity and steering torque from actual slalom test on the proving ground. In order to carry out performance test of the developed haptic steering system, a fixed based vehicle simulator is constructed by integrating real time vehicle dynamics module, VR-video/audio module, and the haptic steering system. Steering torque and steering angle curves have been obtained from virtual testing in the vehicle simulator and performance of the haptic steering system has been evaluated.
