In this paper, the regenerative braking control system for 4 WD Electric Vehicle (EV) is proposed. Many studies on efficient drive of EV are being done to prolong the one charge distance. By using the regenerative braking (REGEN), the resulting EV system has following advantages : a) battery is recharged with the mechanical energy of EV, b) the running load can be reduced, and consequently the efficiency can be increased. The problem of REGEN that the power acceptance ability of battery is limited can be solved by controlling regenerative braking torque. The proposed control system has following characteristics. : a) It controls regenerative power by varying mechanical braking torque. b) It controls mechanical braking torque using load torque observer. c) It controls the regenerative braking torque independently. The control scheme and simulation results are presented for the experimental car.

This study presents a movable USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) based on Micro Controller. Recently, Micro Controller has widely used in application programming such as industry and education application. In particular, Robot is capable of collecting Marine Debris in any sea area is needed so We propose USV used IP camera for automatic driving, distance detection to control movement of USV in order to prevent of collision based on Arduino. Also, Surrounding situation taken by IP camera can be transmitted to monitor and smartphone.

This paper studies a vehicle routing problem variant which considers customers to require simultaneous delivery and pick-up under time windows(VRPSDP-TW). The objective of this paper is to minimize the total travel distance of routes that satisfy both the delivery and pick-up demand. We propose a heuristic algorithm for solving the VRPSDP-TW, based on the ant colony system(ACS). In route construction, an insertion algorithm based ACS is applied and the interim solution is improved by local search. Through iterative processes, the heuristic algorithm drives the best solution. Experiments are implemented to evaluate a performance of the algorithm on some test instances from literature.

PURPOSES : The computational fluid dynamics of flow and fine particles in a road were set to determine the insert flow and occurrence characteristics. METHODS : The road extension was 100 m with two lanes. A one-ton truck traveled a 50-m distance. After a noise barrier was installed on one side of the road, the flow and a collision analysis were tested. RESULTS : The flow that occurred was 5 m/s beside the vehicle, and fine particulate was $5.0{\times}10^2{\mu}g/m^3$ after 20 m from the exhaust vent. CONCLUSIONS : After a collision analysis of the fine particulate on the noise barrier to find the most suitable position of the filter panel in height, the bottom 1 m was the most optimum position because 88.1% of the distribution was concentrated there.

Analog CPPN-based optimal road boundary detection algorithm for autonomous vehicle is proposed. The CPPN is a massively connected analog parallel array processor. In the paper, the dynamic programming which is an efficient algorithm to find the optimal path is implemented with the CPPN algorithm. If the image of road-boundary information is utilized as an inter-cell distance, and goals and start lines are positioned at the top and the bottom of the image, respectively, the optimal path finding algorithm can be exploited for optimal road boundary detection. By virtue of the parallel and analog processing of the CPPN and the optimal solution of the dynamic programming, the proposed road boundary detection algorithm is expected to have very high speed and robust processing if it is implemented into circuits. The proposed road boundary algorithm is described and simulation results are reported.

The more feeding distance of substation is long and travel vehicle increases in feeding section, power supply leaches the limits. And if it exceeds the limit, it causes a serious trouble for train operation. Therefore, it is designed that the number of train increases constantly until 2030. So consistent power supply according to the increasement of vehicle in power system at present Seoul-Pusan high speed railway, regular operation in case of extended feeding occurring accidents in substation, and the least headway scheduled at relevant section and the effects installing compensation facility in case of impossible extended feeding is examined.

The essential element of brake device for railway vehicle is in demand for higher performance along side the trend of railway vehicle size and speed. Essential element of brake device for high speed train is composed of metallic friction material and brake disc. Thus, brake distance, duration and brake stability shall be determined due to friction materials and friction characteristics. Also friction characteristics are influenced by metallic friction material's properties of matter, manufacturing process and component parts. Various materials and configurations of metallic friction materials are currently being implemented to railway vehicles, For this reason study of friction characteristics in accordance with materials is necessary, but study of these important elements are not actively being accomplished. Therefore, in this study, wished to study the graphite's friction characteristic comprised in friction material in accordance with particle size and amount of volume through lab-scale test.

To assure the safety of urban railway train, it is necessary to observe the specified driving principles under an essential condition during running on tracks. These principles arises from a great deal of experience for a long time and include safe distance between trains, the railway signaling, block system, regular block of the highest priority and driving prohibition of simple railway vehicle in the main track, etc. Therefore, it is important to apply these principles to domestic urban railway driving regulations and railway vehicle driving regulations. However, domestic urban railway administrator established his own operation rules within the regulation. In this study, domestic urban railway administration's own rules are examined and the appropriate driving regulation on the safe driving principles is proposed.

For estimating the relative position between the ROV and UUV, in this paper, combining RF sensors and vision system is proposed. The RSSI method of RF sensors is used to estimate the distance and the optical image is combined for the directional information.

Wireless power transmission (WPT) is useful technology in near future. There are some kinds of the WPT technologies, WPT via radio waves, resonance coupling, and inductive. Especially the WPT via radio waves is used for multi-purposes from short range to long range application. However, unfortunately it is misunderstood that it is low efficiency and low power. In this paper, I show the theory of beam efficiency between transmitting antennas and receiving antennas and also show some high efficient applications of the WPT via radio waves. Especially, I pick up a wireless power charging system of an electric vehicle and show the experimental results. I show difference between the theory of beam efficiency and the experimental results of short range WPT. I indicate that reasons of poor beam efficiency in the experiment are (1) change of impedance caused by mutual coupling between transmitting antennas and receiving antennas, (2) oblique direction of microwave power to receiving antennas caused by short distance.
