In-Wheel System is a high-efficiency system to supply a new concept of platform which raises the efficiency of motor drive system and applies it to an environment-friendly automobile by installing a highly efficient electric motor directly to wheels and removing factors of power train. The proliferation of these systems is directly related to the safety of our lives, so check the reliability of the part in the development phase and should be certified. Reliability is the ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time. This paper presents to the verification methods for durability, one of reliability assessments of the Motor, the study calculated acceleration and deceleration torque and the effective torque from driving conditions of In-Wheel Motor, and based on this, it reduced the test time and suggested the verification methods of In-Wheel Motor reliability through the accelerated life test.

In military vehicles moving over poor roads, severe vibration of the chassis can damage internal components. Currently, many studies have focused on active and semi-active suspensions to reduce the vibration of the chassis. In this study, a vibration reduction technique is suggested by applying a unique rotating suspension structure. SH-ADD, a type of modified Skyhook, was selected as a controller for vibration reduction. A random ISO class E road was selected as the driving road. The simulation was performed using ADAMS Control and Matlab Simulink. The control result was compared with the RMS acceleration with a focus on the cumulative fatigue of the internal equipment.

Crack sealing, a routine and necessary part of pavement maintenance, is a dangerous, costly, and labor-intensive operation. Within the North America, about ${\$}200$ million is spent annually on crack sealing, with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) spending about ${\$}7$ million annually (labor alone accounts for over 50 percent of these costs). Prompted by concerns of safety and cost, the University of Texas at Austin, in cooperation with TxDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed a unique computer-guided Automated Road Maintenance Machine (ARMM) for pavement crack sealing. In 1999, successful field tests have been undertaken in 8 States around the U.S. This paper first describes significance of the automated crack sealing and technical advances in automated crack sealers including the ARMM, developed in the U.S. It then discusses the ARMM's field implementation and performance evaluation results, and improvements and modifications suggested through the technology evaluation during the field trials. Current research efforts and future work plans in its further development are also presented in this paper.

Localization is very important for the autonomous navigation of Unmanned Ground Vehicles; however, it is difficult that they have a precise Inertial Navigation System(INS) sensor, especially Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle(SUGV). Moreover, there are some condition such as denial of global position system(GPS), GPS/INS integrated system is not robust. This paper proposes the estimation algorithm with optical flow sensor and INS. Being compared with previous researches, the proposed algorithm is suitable for skid steering vehicles. We revised the measurement model of previous research for the accuracy of side direction position. Experimental results were performed to verify the algorithm, and the result showed an excellent performance.

BLDC 모터는 고출력, 저소음, 제어 용이성 등의 장점을 가져 산업/차량/로봇등 산업 전반에 걸쳐 많은 응용 분야를 가진다. 이러한 BLDC 모터는 고속 및 큰 부하에서 Back EMF 대비 전류의 지상 성분이 발생하여 상전류 증가 및 전체 효율을 떨어뜨린다. 이에 본 연구에서는 BLDC 모터의 상전류와 Back EMF의 위상을 일치시키기 위하여 전류 동적 특성을 이용한 Lead angle의 양을 계산하는 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법은 실험을 통하여 그 효용성을 증명하였다.

Unmanned military vehicles (UMVs) are most commonly characterized as dealing with dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks with automation. Although most of the UMVs are designed to a high degree of autonomy, the human operator will still intervene in the robot's operation, and teleoperate them to achieve his or her mission. Thus, operator capacity, together with robot autonomy and user interface, is one of the most important design factors in the research and development of the UMVs. Further, communication may affect the operator task performance. In this paper, we analyze the operator performance and the communication effects on the operator performance by using the extended Petri nets, called OTSim nets. The OTSim nets was designed by the authors, being extended using pure Petri nets.

본 논문에서는 운전자의 편의를 위해 직관적인 방향 정보를 햅틱 정보로 전달하기 위한 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템을 구현하기 위해, 햅틱 진동에 방향성을 추가하기 위한 햅틱 기술을 적용하였다. 제안하는 시스템의 작동 과정은 인지와 햅틱 신호 생성으로 나누어지며, 그 과정은 다음과 같다. 인지 과정에서는 차량의 양 측면에 달린 카메라를 이용해 차선을 검출한다. 또한 상단에 부착된 라이다 센서를 이용해 장애물의 방향과 거리를 판단한다. 동적 햅틱 신호 생성 과정에서는 인지된 정보들을 활용하여 차선 이탈과 장애물 충돌의 경보를 구분할 수 있고, 방향성을 포함하는 동적 햅틱 신호가 생성된다. 생성된 신호는 스티어링 휠과 시트에 부착된 진동 모터를 통해 전달된다. 이러한 기능을 갖는 시스템은 로봇을 사용한 시뮬레이션 환경에서 진행되었다.

An integrated front steering system and front brake system (FSFB) is developed to improve the stability and controllability of an SUV. The FSFB simultaneously controls the additional steering angle and front brake pressure. An active front steering system (AFS) and an active front brake system (AFB) are designed for comparison. The results show that the FSFB enhances the lateral stability and controllability regardless of road and running conditions compared to the AFS and AFB. As a result, the yaw rate of the SUV tracks the reference yaw rate, and the side slip angle decreases. In addition, brake pressure control is more effective than steering angle control in improving the stability and steerability of the SUV on a slippery road. However, this deteriorates comfort on dry or wet asphalt.
