The recent power add-on drive wheelchairs (PADWs) provide greater physical activity, are easier to transport, and may be an excellent alternative for the typical manual or electric wheelchairs. The development of in-wheel motor for a PADW is the principal issues. In this paper, design, implementation, and testing of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for a PADW are presented. To design output power and torque of the motor, the equation of motion has been investigated. The design parameters were calculated and the dimension and shape of the motor which was limited by the In-wheel mechanism of the PADW were done by applying FEM and optimal design technique. The prototype of the motor mentioned above was fabricated with precise machining and assembling. Then the motor tested on dynamometer and the measured results of the motor were verified by comparing the design results. The fabricated motor was 80 mm in length with a diameter of 110 mm and small enough to be attached the driving unit of the PADW.

독립 구동형 전동 통합 샤시 시스템은 시스템 내구 성능 관련 신뢰성 확보, 구동 전동기 고장 시 차량 안정성 확보, 차륜 중량 증가에 따른 Ride & Handling 성능 저하 등의 문제로 실제 차량에 적용이 지연되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제들 중 Ride & Handling 문제를 해결하기 위해 차량의 주행성능 평가가 가능한 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. MATLAB/Simulink를 이용하여 독립구동형 전동 샤시 시스템이 적용된 소형 전기 자동차를 모델링 하였으며, 27자유도의 차량 거동 해석이 가능한 CarSim을 이용하여 차량동역학을 모델링 하였다. 개발된 시뮬레이터를 활용하여 차량의 주행 안정성을 향상을 위한 알고리즘을 개발/검증함으로써 차량의 Ride & Handling 성능 저하 문제를 해결하고자 하였다.

This paper discusses about analyzing in-wheel vehicle's dynamic motion and load torque. Since in-wheel vehicle controls each left and right driving wheels, it is dangerous if vehicle's wheels are not in a cooperative control. First, this study builds the main wheel control logic using PID control theory and evaluates the stability. Using Carsim-Matlab/Simulink, vehicle dynamic motion is simulated in virtual 3D driving road. Through this, in-wheel vehicle's driving performance can be analyzed. The target vehicle is a rear-wheel drive in D-class sedan. Second, by using the first In-wheel vehicle's performance results, it derivate the drive motor's dynamic load torque for applying the dynamometer. Extracted load torque impute to dynamometer's load motor, linear experiment in dynamometer can replicated the 3-D road driving status. Also it, will be able to evaluate the more accurate performance analysis and stability, as a previous step of actual vehicle experiment.

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.

A scheduling technique for the improvement of yaw motion stability in in-wheel motor vehicle is proposed. Normally vehicle velocity is controlled via conventional PID method. When vehicle is encountered with different road conditions on left and right hand sides, unstable yaw motion is induced due to the driving force difference in both wheels. In this paper a scheduling formular for control gain is derived in terms of experimental results to generate proper counter control action. Simulation result reveals its effective performance in yaw control of in-wheel vehicle.

This paper presents an integrated fault diagnosis algorithm for driving motor of In-wheel independent drive electric vehicle. Especially, this paper proposes a method that integrated the high level fault diagnosis and the low level fault diagnosis in order to improve a robustness and performance of the fault diagnosis system. The high level fault diagnosis is performed using the vehicle dynamics analysis and the low level fault diagnosis is carried using the motor system analysis. The validity of the high level fault diagnosis algorithms was verified through $Carsim^{(R)}$ and MATLAB/$Simulink^{(R)}$ cosimulation and the low level fault diagnosis's validity was shown by applying it to a MATLAB/$Simulink^{(R)}$ interior permanent magnet synchronous motor control system. Finally, this paper presents a fault diagnosis strategy by combining the high level fault diagnosis and the low level fault diagnosis.

본 논문은 전기 스쿠터용 영구자석 동기 전동기(PMSM)의 토크제어 알고리듬을 제안한다. 전기 스쿠터용 인휠(In-wheel) 모터는 기구적으로 고 분해능의 회전자 위치검출 센서인 레졸버나 엔코더를 장착하기 어려워 저 분해능의 홀 센서를 사용한다. 본 논문은 홀 센서를 갖는 영구자석동기전동기의 벡터제어를 위하여 속도관측기를 사용하여 회전자의 속도 및 고분해능의 위치정보를 관측한다. 초기 기동시에는 일반적인 120도 통전방식의 BLDC 운전모드로 기동하고, 기동 후에는 벡터제어 방식으로 전환하여 단위 전류 당 최대 토크(Maximum Torque Per Ampere, MTPA) 운전과 약자속(Flux weakening) 제어를 수행한다. 제안한 알고리듬은 전기스쿠터의 장착실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

The skid-steering method that applied a number of mobile robot currently is extremely effective in narrow area. But it contains several problems such as its natural properties, slip, occurred by different direction between vehicle's driving and wheel's rotary. Through this paper, suitable control algorithm of $6{\times}6$ skid steering wheeled vehicle and its driving methods are proposed by analyzing the behavior $6{\times}6$ skid-steered wheeled vehicle model designed by engineering analysis strategy. To do this, based on a behavior of designed driving system, required torque and other performance of in-wheel type motor system are considered, and finally control algorithm for each wheel is proposed and simulated using this model. To test the proposed vehicle system, driver model is designed using PID closed loop system and included in the total driving control algorithm. The Performance of designed vehicle model is verified by using DYC (Direct Yaw Control) cornering mode and slip mode control to follow the steering input which are essential to evaluate the driving performance of $6{\times}6$ vehicle. Proposed modeling strategy and control method will be implemented to the real $6{\times}6$ in-wheel drive type vehicle.
