Electric Parking Brake(EPB) is the system operated by electric control actuator. It differs from the mechanical parking brake system which is operated by lever and pedal in need of human power. The EPB system is composed of DC motor, helical and differential epicyclic gear, screw, cables, and sensor. This paper describes about the EPB system mathematically and constructs a modeling of the EPB system using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Especially, SimMechanics library in SIMULINK is used to make each parts of system a module. By made modeling of the friction torque between bolt and nut. Cable tension can be maintained after the motor operating stops.

In this paper, a simulator hardware and control design for an electronic parking brake (EPB) are proposed for emergency vehicle braking when the hydraulic break and anti-lock brake systems (ABS) fail to function. EPB systems are designed specifically for park braking and are usually installed on the rear wheels. However, in an emergency situation when all vehicle brake systems fail, the EPB can be utilized to stop the vehicle and track the target slip ratio as the ABS. This paper analyzed the non-linear EBP of the type of motor on caliper (MoC) based on experiments. A simulator hardware is also designed to validate the performance of the designed EPB controller in terms of braking distance and performance in tracking the target slip ratio. Through the experimental analysis, it is confirmed that a sliding mode controller can be applied on a non-linear EPB to track the target slip ratio.

As per the recent technology related to safety of vehicles, Active safety system is being developed in combination withthe technology of electronic system. For example, ABC(Active Body Control), ABS(Antilock Brake System), ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control) are representative of this system. This technology is based on an electronic system, and shares a lot of data through network-system invehicles. Therefore, the control-algorism and the practicable application are realized in this research in order that CAN, network system for vehicles can run the brake device, which is composed mechanically and hand-operated. Additionally the possibility is confirmed that this control-system can be compatible with the existing electronic system in vehicles.

본 논문에서는 차량용 전자제어식 주차 브레이크(Electric Parking Brake, EPB) 시스템 제어에 효과적인 제어기를 논의한다. 이를 위하여 EPB 시스템의 동작 요건과 고유 특성을 고려하여 제어 사양을 정하고 이를 만족시키는 세 가지 제어기(Bang-bang, 선형 P, 비선형 P 제어기)를 제안한다. 또한 제안된 제어기들의 특성 및 성능을 과도응답과 강인성 측면에서 분석하였다. 이를 위해 EPB 시스템을 주파수 영역과 시간 영역에서 모델링하고, 설계된 제어기들의 성능을 모의실험을 통해 비교, 검증한다.

In this paper, we propose simultaneous control which improve in transient state performance of mechanical parking facilities through simultaneous control of PLC and inverter. In conventional mechanical parking facilities, it is controlled only by PLC, and it is more likely to generate over-currents in induction motors, and the ride comfort is reduced due to wear and damage caused by friction on the brake pads, and the life is shortened. To improve this problems the application of control techniques through simultaneous control of PLC and inverter prevents over-currents in induction motors, protects brake pads, improves ride comfort, increases control and ensures safety. We verify its validity by applying the proposed control method via simultaneous control of PLC and inverter to a mechanical parking facility.

This study uses finite element analysis to evaluate the forming load of tool entrance angle of the cold forward extrusion molding process of helical gear; this can replace the spur gear applied to the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system. A cold forging process is often used in the automobile industry as well as in various industrial machines due to its high efficiency. Finite element analysis is frequently used when interpreting results of the forging process. Formality was evaluated by calculating tooth profile filling rate of helical gear. Change in required forming load was investigated when the entrance angle of forward extrusion tool die was changed from $30^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$, also by finite element analysis. We suggest suitable tool entrance angles.

Transfer Path Analysis (TPA) is commonly used, by car makers and parts suppliers, analysis process to root the cause of NVH problems. In general, TPA is an analyzing technique to find the contributing factors of noise/vibration problems, and their transfer path in vehicle. However, not only TPA is used to analyze the source of NVH problems but also is used to predict NVH performance prior to the proto vehicle, or to set the development target for next new vehicle. Automotive parts manufacturing companies have to set NVH performance target when developing new systems just as car makers have NVH target set for new vehicle. Nevertheless, most of components are currently being developed based on subjective evaluation without an objective target. To judge the suitability of using TPA to set NVH target of electric parking brake, this research analyzed the transfer path by setting them in two points of view; Chassis Module and Electric Parking Brake, and comparing the measured value and calculated value. From this result, NVH target of electric parking brake will be approached in level of vehicle, system and component.

본 논문에서는 차량용 전자제어식 주차 브레이크(Electric Parking Brake, EPB) 시스템의 고장 허용 제어(fault tolerant control)를 위한 고장 안전 기법(fail-safe logic)을 제안한다. 고장 안전 기법의 구현을 위하여 EPB 구동 모터에 흐르는 전류 리플을 측정하여 센서리스 위치 추정을 한다. 추정값과 홀 센서의 출력을 비교하여 잔차(residual)를 발생하고, 이를 이용하여 시스템 내부의 고장을 진단하고 고장 안전 기법을 통하여 전체 시스템의 오작동을 방지한다. 시스템 오작동을 방지하기 위한 고장 안전 기법에 대하여 정의하고 모의실험을 통하여 내부 시스템의 고장이 발생 시 이 기법이 고장을 진단하고 시스템을 안전하게 운영할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
