To design an automatic steering controller with high performance for autonomous vehicle, it is necessary to have a precise model of the lateral dynamics with respect to the steering command input. This paper presents an empirical modeling of the steering system for an autonomous vehicle. The steering system here is represented by three individual transfer function models: a steering wheel actuator model from the steering command input to the steering angle of the shaft, a dynamic model between the steering angle and the yaw rate of the vehicle, and a dynamic model between the steering command and the lateral deviation of vehicle. These models are identified using frequency response data. Experiments were performed using a real vehicle. It is shown that the resulting identified models have been well fitted to the experimental data.

This paper presents recent development of (semi)-active steering bogies for railway vehicles and introduce the state-of-art of related technologies. Steering bogies have been studied in various researchers since they can offer high ride quality for passengers and reduce the maintenance costs of wheel and rail wear. Especially, they are considered to be a fundamental solution to dramatically reduce the squeal noise on tight curves. However, passive steering bogies such as self-steering bogies and forced steering bogies have shown their limits to cope with the various running conditions. Therefore, (Semi)-active steering bogies have been studied to overcome the drawbacks of the passive steering bogies. As a result, an active steering bogie, so called mechatronic bogie, is developed successfully in Europe and it has shown remarkable performance in test line.

With increased loads in steered wheels and wider section tires the effort required at the steering wheel makes the driver's job very tiring and difficult. Improvements such as an increase in the mechanical efficiency of the steering system or lower steering box ratios help the reduce driver fatigue. Now using of power steering is increasing. It needs to be considering parts size of steering system as using power steering. This paper presents adjust part size of steering system form estimating reliability according to reducing torque under the dynamic load, In this paper, the spider of universial joint is selected to prove relation between steering and power steering reliability.

This paper develops a 3 DOF vehicle model which includes lateral, roll and yaw motion to study a 4WS vehicle. The model is used for the simulation of a 4WS vehicle behavior, and to derive a control algorithm for rear wheel steering. This paper uses a feedforward plus feedback control scheme to compute a rear wheel steering angle. The feedforward control scheme for computing the first rear wheel steering angle uses a gain which is acquired by multiplying a proper value on a gain to maintain a zero sideslip angle. The feedback control scheme for computing the second rear wheel steering angle uses fuzzy logic and model following control scheme. A linear 2 DOF model is used as a reference model for model following control, and is derived from the developed 3 DOF model by neglecting sprung mass roll motion. A reference state variable is yaw rate, and is computed using the linear 2 DOF model. J-turn and lane change maneuver simulation are performed to show the effectiveness of the developed control scheme. The simulation results show that the 4WS vehicle with the developed control scheme has much better performance in yaw rate, lateral acceleration, roll angle, and sideslip angle than the 2WS vehicle. Also, the results show that the performance of the developed control is close to the one of an optimal control which assumes all states are perfect.

As the number of personal computers installed in vehicles increases, a touchpad often used in a labtop computer can be used for the control of an in-vehicle information system (IVIS). Using a touchpad to control the system allows the user to select among large amount of information with a single touch of dragging. For safety and convenience of a driver, the touchpad could be placed on a steering wheel. This research is designed to calculate the most efficient Control-Response Ratio (C/R ratio) for the menu interaction of a touchpad on a steering wheel. Since the menu pointer's rate of movement and proper C/R ratio is determined by the amount of selected information, the amount of displayed information and the movement of a menu pointer was chosen to be independent variables. The dependent variables are a user's preference and task completion time. Two factor full factorial within subject design was used 16 subjects. The investigation revealed that the amount of selected information increased with increasing C/R ratio. The movement of the pointer became slower as the amount of information increased. The best C/R ratio was calculated for each amount of information and preference regression of the user's preference was drawn accordingly. Through this research, the automobile interior designer can benefit from the guidelines suggested for the touchpad control.

최근 항공분야에서는 온실가스 배출 저감을 위한 친환경 기술이 강조되면서 전기를 주동력원으로 기계적인 직진, 회전 운동을 제어하는 전기식 작동기의 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 단일통로 항공기 전륜조향용 전기식 작동기의 피로수명을 평가하였다. 구조해석을 통해 작동기의 취약부위들을 선정하여 이들에 대한 단위하중 응력표를 구축하였고, 각 하중 프로파일에 대한 대표응력을 계산하였다. 또한 낙수계수법으로 대표응력 그룹의 개별 프로파일을 추출하고, 이를 소재의 S-N 선도에 적용하여 개별 프로파일에 대한 손상을 계산하였다. 최종적으로 손상누적법칙으로 취약 부위들에서의 총 손상을 산출하였고, 단일통로 항공기 전륜조향용 전기식 작동기의 취약 부위들에 대한 피로수명을 평가하였다.

In this study, a Hardware-In-The-Loop-Simulation(HILS) system for developing a Electric-Power-Steering(EPS) system is designed. To test a EPS by HILS system, a mathematical vehicle model with a steering system model has been constructed. This mathematical model has been constructed. This mathematical model has been downloaded to the Digital-Signal-Processor(DSP) board. To realize the lateral force acting on the front wheel in a real car. the steering wheel angle sensor and vehicle velocity have been used for input signal. The force sensor has been used for a feedback signal. The full vehicle states could by simulated by the HILS system. Consequently, the HILS system could by used to analyze control-parameters of a EPS that contributes to the maneuverability and stability of a vehicle. At the same time, the HILS system can evaluate the whole performance of the vehicle-steering system. Also the HILS system could do test could not be executed in real vehicle. The HILs system will useful for developing the control logic for the EPS system.

The analysis of human arm motion during steering maneuver is carried out for investigation of man-machine interface of driver and steering system Each arm is modeled as interconnection of upper arm, lower arm, and hand by rotational joints that can properly represents permissible joint motion, and both arms are connected to a steering wheel through spring and damper at the contact points. The joint motion law during steering motion is determined through the measurement of each arm movement, and subsequent inverse kinematic analysis. Combining the joint motion law and inverse dynamic analysis, joint stiffness of arm is estimated. Arm dynamic analysis model for steering maneuver is setup, and is validated through the comparison with experimentally measured data, which shows relatively good agreement. To demonstrate the usefulness of the arm model, it is applied to study the effect of steering column angle on the steering motion.

본 논문은 보다 높은 실재감과 안전성을 확보하기 위한 무인차량 원격주행제어 환경 개발에 대한 내용을 설명한다. 주로 무인차량 원격주행제어를 위한 환경은 조이스틱 형태의 장치를 활용하여 조향과 가/감속이 가능하도록 개발되어 사용되었다. 그 외 일반 차량처럼 간이 조향-휠(steering-wheel)을 기반으로 개발된 시뮬레이터 환경도 있으나, 현재 주행 상황을 피드백하는 기술이 적용되어 있지 않거나 가/감속부를 포함하지 않는 것이 대부분이다. 피드백 기술이란 일반 차량을 직접 운전할 때 조향-휠과 가/감속 페달을 통해 느껴지는 현재 주행 상황을 시뮬레이터 환경에 구현하는 것을 의미한다. 이렇듯 무인차량 원격주행제어에 이질감을 감소시키는 피드백 기술 개발과 더불어 실재감을 높일 수 있는 시뮬레이터 환경 구축이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선행 연구를 통해 개발된 힘반향 햅틱제어 기술을 적용할 수 있는 시뮬레이터 환경을 구축하고 시뮬레이터 하드웨어의 최소 요구사양을 도출하는 연구를 수행하였다. 하드웨어 구성은 일반 차량과 유사한 조향-휠 모듈과 가/감속 페달 모듈로 구성하였으며, 조향부와 가/감속부 모두 피드백 기술을 적용할 수 있도록 별도의 액추에이터를 설치하였다. 또한 제어부 PC를 통해 두 가지 조작부에 피드백 명령을 전달할 수 있도록 CAN(controller area network) 통신 환경을 구성하였다. 이렇게 구성한 시뮬레이터 환경의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 기 개발된 힘반향 햅틱제어 알고리즘을 직접 적용하여 각 상황 별 알고리즘 동작을 평가하였다.

축간거리가 긴 트럭이나 굴절차량과 같이 차량이 길이가 길고 2량 이상 편성된 차량은 회전반경을 줄여 원활하게 곡선을 주행할 수 있도록 전 차륜 조향방식(AWS)을 적용한다. 굴절차량에 도입된 방법은 네덜란드 APTS사의 Phileas 차량이 유일하며 자동으로 운전하기 위한 제어방법에 대한 논문은 발표되었지만 수동으로 조향되어 운전되는 경우에 대한 알고리즘은 소개되거나 공개되어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서 네덜란드의 APTS사의 차량에 대한 수동운전시의 조향장치 특성을 분석하고 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 개발된 알고리즘을 상용 동역학 프로그램인 ADAMS를 이용하여 적용성을 알아보았다.
