Abstract

The fuel-cut coast-down driving mode is activated when the acceleration pedal is released with transmission gear engaged, and it's a default function for electronic-controlled engine of vehicles. The fuel economy becomes better because fuel injection stops during fuel-cut driving mode. A fuel-cut detection method is suggested in the study and it's based on the speed, acceleration and road gradient data from GPS sensor. It detects fuel-cut driving mode by comparing calculated acceleration and realtime acceleration value. The one is estimated with driving resistance in the condition of fuel-cut driving and the other is from GPS sensor. The detection accuracy is about 80% when the method is verified with road driving data. The result is estimated with 9,600 data set of vehicle speed, acceleration, fuel consumption and road gradient from test driving on the road of 12km during 16 minutes, and the road slope is rather high. It's easy to detect fuel-cut without injector signal obtained by connecting wire. The detection error is from the fact that the variation range of speed, acceleration and road gradient data, used for road resistance force, is larger than the value of fuel consumption data.

대부분의 차량에 적용되어 있는 연료차단(fuel-cut) 관성주행은 변속기어 체결 상태에서 가속페달을 방치할 때 자동으로 작동하게 된다. 이 때 연료분사가 일시적으로 중단되므로 연비 향상 효과가 상당하다. 본 연구에서는 GPS를 이용하여 측정된 차속, 가속도, 도로구배 등의 신호를 바탕으로 하는 연료차단 관성주행 감지법을 제안하였다. 관성 주행시 작용하는 주행저항력에 의해 계산되는 가속도값과 GPS에서 실시간으로 측정되는 가속도값을 비교하는 방식이다. 실도로 주행 데이터를 측정하여 이 감지법을 평가한 결과 약 80% 수준의 정확도를 얻을 수 있었다. 도로구배가 다소 큰 12km 정도의 국도를 16분 동안 주행하면서 측정한 약 9,600개의 속도, 가속도, 도로구배 및 연료소모량 데이터에 감지법을 적용하여 얻은 결과이다. 인젝터 분사파형 분석을 위한 배선작업 등이 불필요하여 간단하게 연료차단여부를 판정할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 다만, 속도, 가속도 및 도로구배의 변화율이 연료소모량의 변화율에 비해 훨씬 크게 나타나기 때문에 감지법의 오차도 다소 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
