In this paper, an automotive ECU (electronic control unit) with Kalman filter accelerator is designed and implemented. RISC-V is exploited as a processor core. Accelerator for Kalman filter matrix operation, CAN (controller area network) controller for in-vehicle network, and LIN (local interconnect network) controller are designed and embedded. Kalman filter operation consists of time update process and measurement update process. Current state variable and its error covariance are estimated in time update process. Final values are corrected from input measurement data and Kalman gain in measurement update process. Usually floating-point multiplication is exploited in software implementation, but fixed-point multiplier considering accuracy analysis is exploited in this paper to reduce hardware area. In 28nm silicon fabrication, its operating frequency, area, and gate counts are 100MHz, 0.37mm², and 760k gates, respectively.

The development of wireless communication systems has resulted in the availability of several access technologies at any geographic area, such as 3G networks, wireless local area networks (WLANs) and wireless broadband networks. The development of these technologies is provided for users who have experienced mobile network environments which are slow or fast-movement environment and change distance between the AP(Access Point). This paper describes network performance issues in various environmental changes. Also, Fuzzy logic is applied to evaluate the performance in vehicle networks around users' environmental factors to focusing on the minimizing of transfer time and costs. First, WLAN and 3G networks fixed distance between AP, Second, WLAN and 3G networks random distance between APs, finally above two environmental with vehicle Ad hoc networks is analyzed. These V2I and V2V environmental condition are assumed. Results which based on Fuzzy logic suggest an optimal performance in vehicle network environments according to vehicle speed and distance between APs. Proposed algorithm shows 21% and 13% improvement of networks performance in V2I and V2V environment.

This paper describes new communication methods for transmitting torque commands between the vehicle controller that determines the amount of power generation in a range-extended electric vehicle and the engine controller that performs it. Generally, vehicles use CAN communication, but in this case, the hardware and software of the existing engine controller must be modified. For this reason, it is not easy to apply CAN communication to small and medium sized automotive reorganize companies. Therefore, this research presents a pin-pin communication method for applying the existing mass produced engine controller to range-extended electric vehicles. The pin-pin communication method converts the driver's demand torque control map inside an mass produced engine controller into a virtual accelerator opening position according to the target speed and target torque of the engine, and converts this to a voltage signal for the existing mass produced engine controller to recognize it. The virtual accelerator opening positions are mounted in the form of a control map in the vehicle controller through the reverse conversion process in an offline environment and are determined by the engine generating power requirements and engine optimal operating point algorithm. These algorithms and signal conversion circuits for engine torque transmission have been mounted on the vehicle controller to conduct the virtual accelerator opening position conversion process according to the engine target torque and to establish the virtual accelerator voltage signal using the signal converter.

V2X environment is the most popular part of the C-ITS based on the high technologies. To evaluate V2X environment technologies, radio communication range and market penetration rate of V2X vehicle are used. This paper studies the V2X environment considering various traffic congestion level, radio communication range and market penetration rate of V2X vehicle using the microscopic simulation (VISSIM) based on proper parameters and algorithm. In conclusion, V2X environment can reduce the congestion in proper traffic volume. However, if traffic volume is almost near the capacity, even V2X environment can't relieve the road condition. Furthermore, increase of the radio communication range does not always mean the decrease of the congestion and even with the small market penetration rate, it can also have an impact on the V2X environment. This result will be the foundation for the V2X environment much better.

The application of MOST150 technology has been required to satisfy the demand for the automotive infotainment system and the higher bandwidth requirements caused by the increase of the multimedia processing capacity. The Ethernet technology applied gateway was implemented for an efficient transmission of multimedia, a vehicle diagnosis, an external communication, a data processing between the MOST150 and the CAN communication method applied to many existing vehicles. The new algorithm and application were suggested in order to efficiently perform the data processing between other types of communication systems. The existing MOST150 frame is mainly composed of the Control Channel, the Legacy Packet Channel(async) and the Synchronous /Isochronous Channels and performs the data processing through these sequential channels. With the sense of this process, this study suggested the new algorithm that the Mapping method of the IETF's QoS Management was applied to the MOST150 technology for the efficient QoS.
