This paper describes a fault-tolerant driving control strategy for an independent steer-by-wire system in sixwheel-drive/six-wheel-steering vehicles. An algorithm has been designed to realize vehicle maneuverability that is as close as possible to that of non-faulty vehicles by inducing high slip ratio of the wheel through a faulty steer-by-wire system in order to reduce the lateral tire force, which is resistant to the yaw motion. Considering the transition of the longitudinal tire force of a wheel with a faulty steer-by-wire component, the longitudinal tire forces are optimally distributed to the other wheels. Fault-tolerant driving performance has been investigated via computer simulations. Simulation studies show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the maneuverability of a vehicle with a faulty steer-by-wire system as compared to the optimal traction distribution method.

모빌리티 기술이 발전함에 따라 기존 차량에서 선보이지 못했던 다양한 주행기술이 가능해졌고, 이에 따라 많은 장점을 지닌 모빌리티 기술들이 등장하고 있다. 4 륜 독립 구동, 제동, 조향 시스템은 바퀴 별 독립 제어가 가능하여 여러 주행 모드를 구현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 4 륜 독립 구동, 제동과 독립 조향이 가능한 모빌리티 플랫폼에 대해 평행 주행, 제자리 회전, 축 회전 주행 등을 구현하는 방안과, 더 나아가 각도 속도를 일정하게 유지함으로써 오차를 최소화하는 제어 방법에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

This paper is to study a comparison of ride stabilities for the guideway vehicle between its three primary steering types; the front-rear wheel steering type, tile independent wheel steering and the front wheel steering. A numerical model were built to investigate various factors to have an influence on the vehicular stability. It was shown that dynamic stabilities of the three types were dependent on the steering gain ratio of front wheel steering to rear. The front-rear wheel steering type was more stable for the value of positive steering gains and the shorter distance between front axle and guide link showed better stabilities. On the contrary, the independent wheel steering was more stable for the value of negative gains and the longer distance between front axle and guide link showed better stabilities. Ride characteristics of he front wheel steering seemed to be found midway. Ride behaviors due to time delay from front steering to rear were very different from steering type to type.

In this paper the reference model following control(RMFC) scheme through the optimal control theory is investigated for the independent rear wheel steering(IRWS) vehicle. RMFC vehicle follows the dynamic performance of a virtual vehicle as a reference model deisgned in the controller. Linear vehicle model of two degres-of-freedom is used to derive control scheme which is applied to full vehicle for evaluating handling performances. And 4WS vehicle through RMFC is compared to the conventional 2WS vehicle and 4WS vehicle in the J-turn test. The RMFC logic is also extended to IRWS vehicle, IRWS with RMFC shows not only the excellent handling performance but salso some advantages in terms of the directional stability and responsiveness from the simulation results.

본 연구는 4륜 독립 구동·제동·조향 차량의 모드 천이 논리 알고리즘에 관한 연구로서, 일반적인 주행 스타일 외에도 다양한 주행 스타일을 가지는 차량에서 주행 모드 전환 간에 고려되어야 하는 조건들을 다룬다. 주행 모드 전환 간에 Static Transition과 Dynamic Transition이 가능하며 Static Transition 방식이 일반적이지만 저속 상태에서 차량이 충분히 정렬되어 있다면 FWS 주행, 동상 주행, 역상 주행 간의 Dynamic Transition도 가능할 것이다.

Automation is important in modern agricultural environment, which demands the highest level of technology. In the paper an independent four-wheel steering driving platform is developed especially for horticulture in glass house farm. Mathematical modeling of the four wheel system is carried out for smooth movement. The relationships between steering angle, the turning radius, and escape trajectory are simulated using the dynamic analysis program. Optimal driving algorithm is sought through the performance evaluation.

In this research a moving platform for a mobile robot which can run with upright posture is proposed. It is able to stand with standing arms and run uprightly based on an inverted pendulum mechanism. Conventional mobile robots generally may equip 4 wheels or 3 wheels including a caster and have good statistic stability. They need a steering mechanism to choose which way to go since they have a square or rectangular configuration with multiple wheels. When a mobile robot meets a sharply perpendicular and narrow crossroad, it may need a special steering scheme such as going forward and backward repeatedly or it sometimes cannot even pass through the crossroad because of its size. The proposed moving platform for a mobile robot changes to a upright posture which has a small planar area and is able to pass through the crossroad. We propose a moving platform for a mobile robot with a inverted pendulum mechanism and standing arms which can make the mobile robot upright.

This study is to develop a vehicle Integrated Dynamics Control System(IDCB) that can stabilize the lateral dynamics and maintain steerability. To accomplish this task, an eight degree of freedom vehicle model and a nonlinear observer are designed. The IDCB independently controls the brake systems of four wheels with a fuzzy logic control and a sliding model control. The result shows that the nonlinear observer produced satisfactory results. IDCB tracked the reference yaw rate and reduced the body slip angle under all tested conditions. It indicates that the IDCB enhanced lateral stability and preserved steerability.
