대형 상용차량을 위한 냉난방장치는 이동 또는 정차 중에도 일정 온도를 유지 시켜야한다. 종전의 상용차량의 냉동시스템은 엔진과 연계하여 압축기를 구동하거나 엔진과 연계된 발전기의 전력을 이용하여 온도를 유지하였다. 이러한 방식은 제어가 용이하지 않고 효율성이 낮은 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 개선하고자 대형 상용차량이 정차중인 무시동 기간에도 일정 온도를 유지 할 수 있도록 직렬 L-C 공진을 이용한 2.5kW급 DC-DC 컨버터를 제안 하였다.

일반적인 상용차에서 사용되고 있는 기계식 에어컨 시스템은 엔진의 가동(주행 또는 공회전)에 의해 발생되는 에너지를 이용해 차량 실내온도를 유지시켜준다. 이러한 기계식 에어컨 시스템의 작동은 엔진 구동력의 일부를 사용하기 때문에 상용차의 연비와 큰 관련성 있다. 상용차량은 경우 하절기 작업대기, 차량 내 야간취침 등이 빈번해 운전자의 운행습관에 따라 연료 소비량이 증가하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 개선하고자 대형 상용차량이 정차중인 무시동 기간에도 일정 온도의 유지가 가능한 전동식 압축기 구동용 Cascaded Push-Pull 컨버터를 제안하였다.

차량용 에어컨 시스템은 엔진의 가동(주행 또는 공회전)에 의해 발생되는 에너지를 이용하여 운전자가 원하는 차량 실내온도를 유지시켜주는 장치를 말한다. 이러한 기계식 에어컨 시스템의 작동은 엔진 구동력의 일부를 활용하고 있어 자동차의 연비와 큰 관련성 있다. 때문에 하절기 작업 대기시나 차량 내 야간취침 등이 빈번한 상용차량의 경우 운전자의 운행습관에 따라 연료 소비량이 증가하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 개선하고자 대형 상용차량이 정차중인 무시동 기간에도 일정 온도의 유지가 가능 하도록 전력변환장치가 적용된 에어컨 시스템을 제안하였다.

This paper describes on studies of the heavy duty engine calibration for better fuel economy based on real driving conditions. Using testbed validated software simulation of the engine and turbocharger system, an alternative turbocharger specification, with potential to improve fuel economy was identified. Secondly, the engine calibration was modified to optimize vehicle fuel economy over a typical customer drive cycle whilst still meeting the steady-state (testbed) emissions legislation. These results were confirmed by field testing of a vehicle equipped with the updated specifications. This study found good agreements between the prediction and the field test on the vehicle fuel economy improvements of the express bus with updated calibration and turbocharger.

One of the causes of malfunction of commercial vehicle is corrosion or wear. In order to prevent corrosion and wear, lubricants have to be supplied periodically. However, the period of lubrication usually depends on operator's judgment. If the period is too short, excess lubricant will cause pollution and unnecessary expenses, where as long periodic supply of lubricant might cause wear, damage and eventual breakdown. Therefore, an automatic lubrication system with predetermined interval will reduce the excessive supply of lubricating oil and prevent wear and damage. This thesis presents an automatic lubrication system which consists of a lubricant pump and an embedded controller. An automatic lubrication operating algorithm is used to operate the lubricant pump and feedback the pressure status of the system using pressure sensors. The developed system shows an efficient periodic supply of lubricant.

Most commercial vehicles have adopted the hydraulic power steering system. To reduce fuel consumption and to improve steering controllability, a hybrid electric power steering system is being developed for commercial vehicles. In this study, the HILS (Hardware In the Loop Simulation) system equipped with a commercial vehicle hybrid electric power steering system was developed and the vehicle dynamic performance of a truck with the steering system was evaluated. The hybrid electric power steering system is composed of the EHPS motor pump, column mounted EPS system, and ball nut steering gear box for heavy commercial vehicles. The accuracy of vehicle models equipped with the HILS system was verified with comparisons between the simulation results and field test results. The road reaction forces of the steering system were generated from the vehicle model and verified using field test results. Step steering tests using the verified HILS system were carried out and the performance of a newly developed commercial vehicle hybrid electric power steering system was evaluated.

In this paper, characteristics and types of vehicle accidents involving buses that differ from common passenger cars are analyzed. When heavy vehicles are involved in collision accidents, the external impulse conveyed through bus tire from road surface cannot be ignored, so the conventional rigid-body impact model cannot be applied. As a solution, an analysis model which directly considers the tire impulse or considers the bus as moving barrier has been proposed. Also, as there are many instances in which the location of contact point or coefficients related to rotational motion cannot be estimated, utilization of point-mass collision model has been sought. By applying the proposed analysis model to an actual accident case and comparing with the result of the conventional analysis which does not consider the tire impulse, it is shown that the velocity of bus and other values close to the actual amount can be obtained.

An aluminum radius rod using rheo-forging method has been developed for heavy commercial vehicles to decrease vehicle unsprung weight. To design the shape of the rod, structural simulations are performed using two load cases. To evaluate durability performance of the rods, a test system which has simultaneous 3 axes actuating system is developed. And 3 axes durability test conditions are established based on vehicle field tests. Using the test systems and the conditions, the durability test is carried out and the rods have passed the test conditions of 700,000 cycles. The weight of a developed aluminum radius rod is 4.2kg and it was drastically reduced by 48.8 percent in comparison with the weight of a steel radius rod.
