This paper examines the usefulness of a Brake Steer System(BSS), which uses differential brake forces for steering intervention in the context of Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS). In order to help the car to turn, a yaw moment control was achieved by altering the left/right and front/rear brake distribution. This resulting yaw moment on the vehicle affects lateral position thereby providing a limited steering function. The steering function achieved through BSS was used to control lateral position in an unintended road departure system. A 8-DOF nonlinear vehicle model including STI tire model was validated using the equations of motion of the vehicle. Then a controller was developed. This controller, which is a PID controller tuned by Ziegler-Nichols, is designed to explore BSS feasibility by modifying the brake distribution through the control of the yaw rate of the vehicle.

ABS is a safety device for preventing wheel locking in a sudden baking. Its control methods are classified into three types; deceleration control, wheel slip control and deceleration/acceleration control. The braking force takes the influence of the friction coefficient between road and tire, which in turn depends on the wheel slip as well as road conditions. In this paper, it has been proposed the wheel slip control system to apply the adaptive control method at the ABS. To maintain wheel slip to desired wheel slip, it have been done the linearization and designed the adaptive controller to apply gradient method based on the reference model. It is illustrated by computer simulations that the proposed control system gives good performances and adaptation to parameter variation.

The presence of low adhesion at the wheel-rail contact point can result in skid of train wheels, and the skid, in turn, results in flats appearing on the wheels. Thus, anti-skid control has a crucial role for safe braking and prevention from flats that could cause a disastrous train accident. This paper presents dynamic modeling of a tilting train and the brake system of the tilting train, and analyzes the anti-skid logic used in the tilting train. The validity of the analysis is demonstrated via simulation study using Simulink for skid and re-adhesion circumstances of the tilting train.

Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian finite element methods gain interest for the capability to control mesh geometry independently from material geometry, the ALE methods are used to create a new undistorted mesh for the fluid domain. In this paper we use the ALE technique to solve fuel slosh problem. Fuel slosh is an important design consideration not only for the fuel tank, but also for the structure supporting the fuel tank. "Fuel slosh" can be generated by many ways: abrupt changes in acceleration (braking), as well as abrupt changes in direction (highway exit-ramp). Repetitive motion can also be involved if a "sloshing resonance" is generated. These sloshing events can in turn affect the overall performance of the parent structure. A finite element analysis method has been developed to analyze this complex event. A new ALE formulation for the fluid mesh has been developed to keep the fluid mesh integrity during the motion of the tank. This paper explains the analysis capabilities on a technical level. Following the explanation, the analysis capabilities are validated against theoretical using potential flow for calculating fuel slosh frequency.

Wheel skids may occur during train operations due to low adhesion at the wheel-rail contact point abnormally, and the skids, in turn, result in flats appearing on the wheels, which affect safety and ride comfort significantly. Thus, anti-skid control has a crucial role for safe braking and prevention from flats that could cause a disastrous train accident. This paper presents simulation studies on an anti-skid control unit (ASCU) with a brake system of a rolling stock including a pneumatic model for brake power supply and dump valve operation.

운전자의 도로 주행 데이터를 데이터베이스화한 정보는 다양하게 이용될 수 있다. 이러한 주행 정보를 이용한다면 운전자의 운전 성향을 분석하는데 도움이 될 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 스마트폰을 이용하여 도로 주행 시의 센서 데이터들을 기록하고 주행 패턴을 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 운전 성향을 분석하기에 앞서 패턴 별 주행 정보를 제공하기 위해 주행 패턴을 인식하는데 중점을 두었다. 좌회전, U턴, 우회전, 급감속, 급출발, 급가속, 과속방지턱에 해당하는 7개의 패턴을 인식하기 위한 과정으로 데이터 전처리를 통해 이벤트가 발생한 구간을 검출 후, DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) 알고리즘을 이용한 결정 방식을 적용하여 패턴을 인식한다. 제안된 방법은 운전자의 정보 제공을 위해 인식된 패턴과 함께 동시에 녹화된 비디오 스트림도 제공되며, 이는 안전운전시스템이나 운전습관분석시스템의 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다.

고속철도교량에서 장대레일의 사용은 연결부 근처에서 레일과 교량상판사이의 비선형 거동으로 인하여 부가적인 응력을 유발한다. 고속철도 교량의 지진응답해석에서, 구조물응답은 지반운동특성에 매우 영향을 많이 받으므로, 지반운동의 위치에 따른 변화가 구조물의 응답에 영향을 미치게 되고, 그 결과는 레일에 응력을 유발하게 된다. 또한 고속철도에서 사용지진 수준의 지진발생 시에 열차의 긴 제동거리가 필요하므로 열차의 안전한 정지를 확보하는 것이 요구된다. 이러한 관점에서 장대레일에 의해 부가적으로 발생하는 응력, 지반운동의 공간변화에 대한 구조물 응답의 영향, 그리고 안전하게 정지하기 위해 필요한 열차의 제동거리 등의 사항이 레일의 응력해석에 고려될 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 지진하중을 받는 고속철도교량의 장대레일 응력해석을 위하여 제동하중, 지반운동의 공간적 변화, 그리고 레일의 재료 비선형을 고려한 시간영역에서의 비선형 동적해석방법을 개발하고 적용하였다. 제시된 방법을 한국고속철도의 특정부지에 적용하여 지반운동의 공간변화에 따른 응답의 타당성을 보였다.

The aim of this study is the optimization of the parameters of interconnected Hydro-Pneumatic (HP) suspension system of a three-axle vehicle for ride comfort and handling. For HP suspension systems of equivalent vertical stiffness and damping characteristics, interconnected HP suspension systems increase roll and pitch stiffness and damping characteristics of the vehicle as compared to unconnected HP suspension systems. Thus, they result in improved handling and braking/acceleration performances of the vehicle. However, increased roll and pitch stiffness and damping characteristics also increase roll and pitch accelerations, which in turn result in degraded ride comfort performance. Therefore, in order to improve both ride comfort and vehicle handling performances simultaneously, an optimum parameter set of an interconnected HP suspension system is obtained through an optimization procedure. The objective function is formed as the sum of the weighted vertical accelerations according to ISO 2631. The roll angle, one of the important measures of vehicle handling and driving safety, is imposed as a constraint in the optimization study. Upper and lower parameter bounds are used in the optimization in order to get a physically realizable parameter set. Optimization procedure is implemented for a three-axle vehicle with unconnected and interconnected suspension systems separately. Optimization results show that interconnected HP suspension system results in improvements in both ride comfort and vehicle handling performance, as compared to the unconnected suspension system. As a result, interconnected HP suspension systems present a solution to the conflict between ride comfort and vehicle handling which is present in unconnected suspension systems.

Steering of the vehicles on a slippery highway is a difficult task for most passenger car drivers. The steering vehicles on slippery roads tend to slide outward with less lateral forces than on nor mal roads. When the drivers notice that their vehicles on a slippery highway start to depart from the cornering lane, most of them make a sudden steering and/or braking, which in turn may induce spin-out and instability on their vehicles. In this paper, an active steering control method is proposed such that the vehicles in slippery roads are steered as if they are driven on the normal roads. In the proposed method, the estimated lateral forces acting on the steering tires are compared with the reference values and the difference is compensated by the active steering method. A fuzzy logic controller is designed for this purpose and evaluated on a steering Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) system. Steering performance results on the slippery curved and sinus roads demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller. This method can be realized with the steer-by-wire concept and is promising as an active safety technology.
