Determination of type of a vehicle is being used in various areas such as collecting tolls, collecting statistical traffic data and traffic prognosis. Because most of the vehicle type classification systems depend on vehicle length indirectly or directly, highly reliable automatic vehicle length measurement system is crucial for them. This study makes use of a pencil beam laser rangemeter and devises a mechanical device which rotates the laser rangemeter. The implemented system measures the range between a point and the laser rangemeter then indicates it as a spherical coordinate. We obtain several silhouettes of cross section of the vehicle, the rate of change of the silhouettes, signs of the rates then squares the rates to apply cell averaging constant false alarm rate (CA-CFAR) technique to find out where the border is between the vehicle and the background. Using the border and trigonometry, we calculated the length of the vehicle and confirmed that the calculated vehicle length is about 94% of actual length.

In this study, the effects of the compressor for the air conditioning system on the fuel economy were experimentally investigated in an actual automobile. This study aims to analyze the level of contribution of the driving torque of the compressor to the fuel economy. A torque sensor, which is directly set on the clutch of the compressor, is developed to obtain data about the compressor load, which influences the fuel efficiency, and then, the reliability of the torque sensor is verified by comparing the results with those of a torque meter in a bench test. An actual automobile equipped with the compressor and torque sensor is operated in a climate wind tunnel in which appropriate facilities are set up to evaluate the fuel efficiency. The compressor driving torque resulting from the difference in the compressor displacement is found to influence the fuel economy, and the fuel economy is found to be worsened by up to 2~3% with an around 11% increase in the compressor displacement under the same conditions.

대형 버스 및 트럭 등과 같이 하중이 무거운 차량 같은 경우, 제동 부담이 아주 크다. 잦은 제동과 부하가 크기 때문에 마찰을 이용한 기존 방식의 브레이크들은 브레이크 파열 및 페이드 현상이 일어날 수 있다. 이러한 과부하를 분담하기 위해 현재 보조브레이크(리타더)를 사용하며, 이때의 제동에너지를 전기에너지를 회생하여 에너지를 절감하는 연구가 현재 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 와전류를 이용한 전자기형 리타더의 해석 및 제어 방법을 다룰 것이며, 제동에너지를 전기에너지로 회생하기 위해 L-C 공진회로로 모델링하였다. 그리고 리타더에서 발생하는 전압을 간략히 다상변압기로 구현하였다. 제어장치의 구동펄스에 따라 바뀌는 공진회로의 전압을 분석하였으며, 이 전압을 제어하기 위한 제어기를 제안하였고 Matlab Simulink를 이용해 가상실험을 실행하였다.

FCEV(Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle)는 연료전지를 사용하여 차량 구동용 전동기에 필요한 에너지를 공급한다. 연료전지는 부하에 급격한 변화가 발생하였을 시에 과도특성이 나타나고 자동차에 에너지를 공급하는 속도에 영향을 준다. 그러므로 연료전지의 특성상 FCEV에서 배터리는 연료전지와 함께 사용된다. FCEV 및 전기자동차는 배터리의 대용량화를 위해 일반적으로 배터리 셀을 직/병렬로 모듈화하여 사용하는데, 이때 배터리 모듈의 충전 및 방전이 반복될 경우, 각 배터리 잔존용량의 불균형이 나타난다. 본 논문은 연료전지 전기자동차용 전력변환 장치를 이용하여 배터리 셀을 모듈화하여 모듈 별 밸런싱을 수행하는 시스템의 설계와 제어기법을 제안한다. 각각의 배터리 모듈과 연료전지를 연결하는 컨버터 모듈은 독립적으로 제어되어 배터리를 모듈 단위로 균등화시킨다. 이때 연료전지를 입력으로 절연형 컨버터를 병렬로 사용하며, 각각의 배터리 모듈을 균일하게 충전한다.

The congestion of railway vehicle and station shows up to 220%. Especially, transfer resistance of passenger increase rapidly by the collision of circulation. So increment of travel time, occurrence of safety accidents act as a factor that inhibits the utilization of urban railway station. In this paper, to improve traveling speed and comfort of urban rail passengers, urban transit passenger guidance system using congestion management model is proposed. The congestion management model that can mitigate a recurring/non-recurring congestion is constructed and the preliminary design of the system (middleware system, control system, guidance drive system) is carried out. Passenger Guidance System is configured by step for changing the external data into a form usable by the algorithm, step to perform the congestion management algorithm using the real-time data and historical data, step to control device based on the value that is calculated by congestion management algorithm, step to drive the device based on the information in the control system and circulation guidance devices. In the future, detail design will be performed based on the preliminary design. A prototype of the various devices according to the station structures and locations will be made. The control module of guidance device will be developed.

In this paper, the intelligent smart monitor system is implemented for the next generation vehicle. to mitigate the numerous effects of distractions within the vehicle, it is vital to put critical information where the driver can use it without affection focus on the road ahead. Audible alarms are useful supplements when used in conjunction with visual displays. But driving is an overwhelmingly visual task. To optimize a vehicle's active safety systems, more than just audible alarms are necessary. The driver needs a visual interface that focuses his or her attention on the road ahead. The most commonly viewed information in a vehicle is from the instrument cluster, where speed, tachometer, fuel, engine temperature, fuel gauge, turn indicators and warning lights provide the driver with an array of fundamental information. TFT LCD, LCD Back light led, plane mirror, lens and controllers parts were designed to intelligent integrated smart monitor system. Finally, in this paper, we analyze intelligent integrated smart monitor system for driver safety vehicles.

This paper presents an integrated chassis control system with fail safety using optimum yaw moment distribution for a vehicle with steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire devices. The proposed system has two-level structure: upper- and lower-level controllers. In the upper-level controller, the control yaw moment is computed with sliding mode control theory. In the lower-level controller, the control yaw moment is distributed into the tire forces of active front steering(AFS) and electronic stability control(ESC) with the weighted pseudo-inverse based control allocation(WPCA) method. By setting the variable weights in WPCA, it is possible to take the sensor/actuator failure into account. In this framework, it is necessary to optimize the variables weights in order to enhance the yaw moment distribution. For this purpose, simulation-based tuning is proposed. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulations are conducted on a vehicle simulation package, CarSim.

차세대전동차는 직접구동모터(DDM : Direct Drive Motor) 방식으로 기존에 사용하던 기어박스를 없애는 등, 연결부품을 제거함으로써 고장률을 줄여 기존차량 대비 30% 이상 신뢰도를 향상하도록 개발하였다. 그러나, 단순히 모터 자체 만을 변경함으로써 신뢰도를 향상시켰다고 보기는 어렵고, 시스템 차원에서 전동차 내 타 구성품과의 인터페이스를 살펴보고, 정량적인 분석을 통해서 신뢰도가 어느 정도 향상되었는지 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 신규차량일 경우, 기존차량대비 어느 정도로 신뢰도가 향상되었는지를 입증하고자 주행시험을 실시하는데 전동차에 신뢰성 이론을 적용하기 위해서는 크게 목표설정, 신뢰도예측, 신뢰도입증의 3단계 작업이 진행되며, 신뢰도 예측은 주요장치를 구성하고 있는 부품단위의 고장률을 이용하여 시스템의 신뢰도를 예측하고, 신뢰도 목표치를 만족하는지를 분석하는 것이며, 신뢰도 입증은 예측한대로 시스템이 구축되었는지 확인하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 차세대 전동차에서 설정한 목표신뢰도를 만족시키기 위해 수행한 업무에 대하여 논하고자 한다.

A semi-automatic clutch was developed for drivers of vehicles with manual transmission. The clutch is operated by pressing a switch on the gear stick without stepping on a clutch pedal when the driver wants to shift gears. To automatic control a clutch, driving information is provided by sensors installed under the vehicle. On the other hand, sensors are prone to failure under severe driving conditions and a long time is needed to install or repair these sensors in the vehicle. In this paper, a semi-automatic clutch that received driving information by CAN communication from the ECU was developed and a pneumatic actuator was used to operate the clutch. The semi-automatic clutch by a pneumatic cylinder was operated with a supply air pressure of more than 3bar.
