Ball k nut type steering gear box has disadvantages on on-center range as compared with rack & pinion type because of many linkages. In this study, a technique which can improve the on-center loose feel is introduced. The improvement can be obtained by putting simple devices on steering gear box valve body which can change the stiffness of steering gear on on-center handling range. Analysis and test of the vehicle with improved steering system are performed.

In urban area narrow commuter vehicles have attracted interest as a possible solution to reduce traffic congestion and parking problems. However, a narrow vehicle has an increased to overturn during hard cornering when compared to conventional vehicles. This tendency can be reduced by tilting it toward the inside of the turn. Two types of automatic tilting control systems which are Direct Tilt Control(DTC) and Steering Tilt Control(STC) have been developed. In this paper as one of the technique to improve the handling performance for the unusual vehicle the control system which blends both the DTC and the STC system is considered. It uses the merits of both the DTC and the STC system. As a control strategy for combination the switching control method is used. Finally, the fact that the unusual vehicle is safe under an emergency situation such as slippery road surface is proved by computer simulation.

본 연구에서는 인공현실감 기술을 이용하여 일종의 시뮬레이터라고 할 수 있는 자동차 주행환경을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 Pentium PC에서 구현되었고 운전을 위하여 스티어링 휠, 클러치, 브레이크, 액 셀을 사용하였으며 속도출력을 위하여 스피드메타를 사용하였다. 이러한 입출력 장치를 하나의 통합된 모듈로 만들어서 8255 인터페이스 카드를 통하여 컴퓨터와 접속시켰다. 음향효과를 위하여 MIDI 인터페 이스, 샘플러, 스피커를 사용하였고 효과음은 샘플링하여 사용하였다. 이 밖에도 3차원 그래픽 디스플레 이를 위하여 CrystalEyes가 사용되었다. 가상세게 모델링을 위한 소프트웨어로는 Superscape VRT4.0이 사용되었다. 그래픽으로는 도심 시내 주행환경을 구현하였고, 모든 객체들은 실물 크기 비율로 그렸다. 자동차의 운전 메카니즘은 자동차 동역학을 모델링하여 계산하였다. 이러한 시스템은 주행시 운전자의 자세 및 생리신호를 측정하기 위한 환경으로 사용될 수 있으며 또한 교통안전표지나 신호등과 같은 도로 환경의 인간공학적 평가를 위해서도 사용될 수 있다.

Currently government certified test method for an automobile remanufactured products is insufficient. Thus many automotive parts in the remanufacturing market are lacking proper evaluation criteria and production of defective products are causing customer dissatisfaction. In this paper a power steering oil pump, which requires stringent manufacturing standards, is studied by the failure mode and effect analysis approach. The research suggested that the test criteria such as discharge flow characteristic test, tightness test, pulley run-out test, pressure switch operation test, low temperature test and rotation pressure durability test should be performed to evaluate the reliability of remanufactured power steering oil pumps. As a result of tests, the performance of remanufactured power steering oil pump satisfied the evaluation criteria of pressure switch operation test and low temperature test. However, the remanufactured power steering oil pump failed to satisfy the evaluation criteria on discharge performance test, tightness test and pulley run-out test. These performance evaluation tests proved the necessity of standard process for the remanufactured power steering oil pump.

Tire flat spot is a deformation which occurs around the contact patch during long-period parking and does hardly recovered even after driving. The deformation makes a tire self-excited and ride comfort gets worse. In this study, it is shown that the flat spot can be evaluated by measuring change in radial run out or force. Its effects on vibration at vehicle floor and steering wheel are also revealed. Finally it is shown that the flat spot is likely to occur if the inflation pressure is low and the tire is suppressed by a heavy load at a high temperature.

MTS(Monobloc Tube Shaft) has been used for the reduction in weight of shaft and increase in supply of power in the auto industry nowadays. Cold drawing process having high productivity and reduction in the cost has been regarded as the effective technology that is able to substitute for swaging process as forming MTS with constant outer diameter or hollow shaft without surface defects. The objective of this study is not only to (md out the optimal process conditions understanding the effect of process parameters on carrying out cold drawing process of SIS(Steering Input Shaft) but also to control the defects resulted from inappropriate process conditions. Therefore, the proper drawing conditions are presented using FE-Analysis and experiment in the paper.

This paper presents steering controller for unintended lane departure avoidance under crosswind using vehicle lateral disturbance estimation. Vehicles exposed to crosswind are more likely to deviate from lane, which can lead to accidents. To prevent this, a lateral disturbance estimator and steering controller for compensating disturbance have been proposed. The disturbance affecting lateral motion of the vehicle is estimated using Kalman filter, which is on the basis of the 2-DOF bicycle model and Electric Power Steering (EPS) module. A sliding mode controller is designed to avoid unintended the lane departure using the estimated disturbance. The controller is based on the 2-DOF bicycle model and the vision-based error dynamic model. A torque controller is used to provide appropriate assist torque to driver. The performance of proposed estimator and controller is evaluated via computer simulation using Matlab/Simulink.

Steering column is a typical component that may injure the driver at a frontal collision accident. To protect the driver from an impact, it is very important to study the impact absorbing behaviour of steering column. The dynamic simulation were performed for the ball sleeve type impact absorbing steering column. The simulation results show similar trends to FMVSS 203 test results. Hence using the simulation program developed in this study, it is possible to predict dynamic response of steering system which is used in design modification. Impact absorbing performance of the ball sleeve type steering column with the column angle of $21^\circC$ and $26^\circC$ satisfies the safety criterion of FMVSS 203.

Power steering systems play an important role for the vehicle handling characteristics and driver's steering center feeling during straightforward driving situation. In this paper, the rotary valve, the main component of power steering systems, is modeled and analyzed, and is combined with a 3-DOF(degree of freedom) lateral dynamics model of passenger cars to examine the effects of design parameters on the vehicle steering characteristics. The results can be applied to the development of advanced power steering systems for passenger cars such as electronically-con-trolled power steering system.
