Track rollers are the key parts that support the weight applied to the caterpillar track of construction machinery. The operating conditions of construction machinery are harsh; hence, the track rollers exposed to these conditions can experience failures such as oil leakage and breakdown of the machine, because of impacts during driving. The failure of track-rollers has a major effect on the operation of the construction machinery. Therefore, each manufacturer tries to evaluate the performance of their products by conducting a self-test. However, only the vertical loads applied to the track rollers are considered in most of the self-tests. This method has the problem of ignoring the horizontal loads that are applied to the track rollers while rotary driving, and hence it does not create the practical operating condition of the construction machinery. In this study, we have determined the experimental conditions that effectively consider the magnitudes of the vertical and horizontal loads. The results of simulations and experiments conducted to assess the influence of horizontal loads on the failure of track rollers are presented in this paper.

하이브리드자동차의 연료소비율 시험 시 초기 SOC 조건에 따른 SOC와 연비 변화 특성을 파악하기 위해 2종의 차종을 선택하여 UDDS 모드주행 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 Strong type 자동차는 주행시작 약 550초 경과 후 SOC 52 $\sim$ 54%로 수렴하였다. 또한 일반 시가지 주행조건에서는 SOC를 50$\sim$55 % 범위에서 제어함을 알 수 있으며, 초기 SOC 조건에 따라 연비는 약 79%의 편차가 나타났다. 이는 저속구간에서 순수 전기자동차 구동이 구현됨으로써 SOC 70%에서 큰 연비 상승 효과가 나타나는 것으로 판단 된다. Mild type 자동차는 연비가 초기 SOC 조건에 따라 약 5%의 편차가 나타남을 알 수 있었으며, SOC 변화특성은 배터리 충전상태에 따라 충전량 제어는 이루어지나 가속 시 어시스트만 이루어지는 시스템적 특성상 효율적인 SOC 제어가 이루어지지 않아 연비에는 큰 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 생각된다.

This paper presents the test result of electric vehicle to evaluate a point of difference between maximizing efficiency control and conventional constant flux control(CFX) strategy of induction motor driver. A proposed maximizing efficiency control(MEC) strategy is compared with th constant flux control strategy. The comparison test is carried out with two types of F.T.P-72 and E.P.A driving schedule. This research shown the effectiveness of an enlargement of driving distance of the electric vehicle when a maximizing efficiency control strategy adopted.

자율주행 자동차는 운전자가 개입하지 않고 차량에 부착된 다양한 센서를 통해 얻은 데이터를 기반으로 차량을 스스로 제어하며 설정한 목적지까지 주행한다. 본 논문에서는 단일 카메라와 영상을 사용한 차선 검출하고 추적하는 방법을 제안한다. 영상의 하단 부분만 분리하여 차선을 검출하기 위하여 외곽선 검출 과정을 거친 후 허프 변환을 통해 양 차선의 중심을 구한다. 이 값을 바탕으로 PID 제어로 차량의 차선을 유지한다. 모형 차량과 모형 트랙에서 차선 인식 후 차선을 추적하여 주행하는 동작을 시험하였다. PID 제어를 위헌 적정 각 항의 값을 구하였다. 시험 결과 차선 검출 알고리즘은 성공적으로 동작함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a navigation system was designed, and performance tested in order to confirm the safety improvement of the GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System)-based AGV(Autonomous Guided Vehicle) which used only position information on of GNSS. We developed DR(Dead Reckoning) navigation system that involve the use of GNSS abnormal positoning error detection and GNSS signal outage. The test results show that GNSS positioning error is detection can be archived with an error of more than 0.15m. In addition, the DR driving position error is 1.5m for an 8s GNSS positioning service outage.

An experimental/analytic study has been conducted to understand the adverse effects of low vehicle speed, high axle load and high tire pressure on the performance of asphalt pavements. Of 33 asphalt sections at KHC test road, two sections having different base layer thickness (180 mm versus 280 mm) are adopted for rollover tests. During the test, a standard three-axle dump truck maintains a steady state condition as moving along the wheel path of a passing lane, and lateral offsets and real travel speed are measured with a laser-based wandering system. Test results suggest that vehicle speed affects both longitudinal and transverse strains at the bottom of asphalt layer (290 mm and 390 mm below the surface), and even slightly influences the measured vertical stresses at the top of subbase and subgrade due to the dynamic effect of rolling vehicle. Since the anisotropic nature of asphalt-aggregate mixtures, the difference between longitudinal and transverse strains appears prominent throughout the measurements. As the thickness of asphalt pavement increases, the measured lateral strains become larger than its corresponding longitudinal strains. Over the limited testing conditions, it is concluded that higher axle weight and higher tire pressures induce more strains and vertical stresses, leading to a premature deterioration of pavements. Finally, a layered elastic analysis overestimates the maximum strains measured under the 1st axle load, while underestimating the maximum vertical stress in both pavement sections.

Domestic road type-and period-specific driving pattern measurement was required as Korea's participation in developing "Worldwide harmonized light-duty vehicle emission test procedure (WLTP/DHC)" studied by UN WP29. This study measured road driving data reflecting road and traffic conditions of Korea, and analyzed seven types of representative road type-and period-specific driving patterns with driving pattern standardization methodology proposed by WP29. PAMS (Portable Activity Monitoring Systems) equipment was used to collect enormous (35,410km) road driving data. There are significant difference among seven derived driving patterns.

To predict the dynamics behavior, running stability, etc. of a railway vehicle and to understand its physical characteristics, analytical methods are used for the testing and manufacturing of a scale model along with numerical simulations in developed countries (England, France, Japan, etc.). The test of the dynamics characteristics of full-scale models is problematic in that it is expensive and time-consuming because an entire large-scale test plant needs to be constructed, difficulties are involved in the test configuration, etc. To overcome these problems, an analytical study involving dynamics tests and computer simulations using a scaled bogie model that applies the laws of similarity was carried out. In this study, we performed stability analysis on a 1/5 small scaled bogie for parameters such as the running speed and carbody weight by using an analysis model. Furthermore, we verified the reliability by using a small-scaled derailment simulator and examined the dynamic characteristic of the 1/5 small scaled bogie.

In this study, an indoor test environment was developed for studying the vision stabilizer of an unmanned vehicle, using a virtual environment and a 6-axis motion simulator. The real driving environment was replaced by a virtual environment based on the Aberdeen Proving Ground bump test course for military tank testing. The vehicle motion was reproduced by a 6-axis motion simulator. Virtual reality driving courses were displayed in front of the vision stabilizer, which was located on the top of the motion simulator. The performance of the stabilizer was investigated by checking the image of the camera, and the pitch and roll angles of the stabilizer captured by the IMU sensor of the camera.
