Information of the lateral velocity and the sideslip angle in a vehicle is very useful in many active vehicle safety applications such as yaw stability control and rollover prevention. Because cost-effective sensors to measure the lateral velocity and the sideslip angle are not available, reliable algorithms to estimation them are necessary. In this paper, a sliding mode observer is designed to estimate the lateral velocity. The side slip angle is estimated using the recursive least square with the disturbance observer and the pseudo integral. The estimated parameters from the combined estimation method are updated recursively to minimize the discrepancy between the model and the physical plant, and any possible effects caused by disturbances. The performance of the proposed monitoring system is evaluated through simulations and experiments.

본 논문에서는 차량의 횡방향 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 자세 제어 장치(ESC)와 능동 전륜 조향(AFS)을 이용하는 통합 새시 제어의 적응 가변 가중치 조절 방법을 제안한다. 제어기 설계 방법론을 적용하여 차량을 안정화시키는데 필요한 제어 요 모멘트를 구한 후 이를 가중 역행렬 기반 제어 할당 방법(WPCA)을 이용하여 ESC 의 제동력과 AFS 의 추가 조향각으로 분배한다. 저마찰 노면에서는 차량의 속도가 높다면 횡슬립각이 증가하여 횡방향 안정성이 저하되므로 이를 방지하기 위해 WPCA 의 가변가중치를 상황에 따라 조절하는 방법을 제안한다. 차량 시뮬레이션 패키지인 CarSim 에서 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 제안된 방법이 통합 섀시 제어기의 횡방향 안정성을 향상시킨다는 사실을 검증한다.

Semi-Spherical Continuously Variable Transmission(SS-CVT) is the CVT which transmits power by rolling friction between dry metals, and its outstanding advantage is the ability of realizations of neutral, forward and reverse states without relying on any other devices. A spherical shaped variator transmits power and also changes gear ratio where keeping contact with a output disk. The frictional direction to transmit power and the other direction to change gear ratio are perpendicular to each other, so we can describe that two dimensional rolling friction is occurred in the contact point between the variator and the disk. Since magnitudes or relations of the two forces are completely unknown, they were analyzed by the experiments in this study. We determined the variables related with the friction phenomena by the dimensional analysis, and manufactured the SS-CVT test bench which could measure the related variables. Finally, the empirical formula for evaluating the two friction forces was proposed based on the experimental results.

This study is to propose and develop an integrated dynamics control system to improve and enhance the lateral stability and handling performance. To achieve this target, we integrate an AFS and a 4WS systems with a fuzzy logic controller. The IDCS determines active additional steering angle of front wheel and controls the steering angle of rear wheel. The results show that the IDCS improves the lateral stability and controllability on dry asphalt and snow paved road when double lane change and step steering inputs are applied. Yaw rate of the IDCS vehicle tracks reference yaw rate very well and body slip angle is reduced about by 50%. Response time of the IDCS vehicle is also decreased.
