A double-parked car is the one that is parked in a crowded parking lot with its transmission gear in neutral position and its auxiliary brake released. A double-parked car can be moved by pushing it but doing so is very difficult and dangerous. In a previous study, we proposed an omni-directional mobile robot for moving a double parked car. In that study we adopted Mecanum wheels. Even though the proposed robot showed successful results, it has some drawbacks such as dependency on a load condition, complexity in control, inefficiency in power use, etc. To overcome those drawbacks, we propose a differential drive robot with ordinary two tire wheels. The proposed robot consists of two parts, one is a wheel part and the other is a body part. By selectively connecting or disconnecting those two parts with the aid of an electric brake, the proposed robot is able to have omni-directional mobility.

In the case of frequent braking, when driving downhill or long distance, conventional brakes using friction are problematic in braking safety due to brake rupture and fading phenomenon. Therefore auxiliary brakes is essential for heavy vehicles. And several research has been actively conducted to improve energy efficiency by regenerating mechanical energy into electric energy when the vehicles brake. In this paper, a voltage control method is utilized to recover the electric energy generated in the electromagnetic retarder instead of the eddy current. To regenerate the braking energy into the electrical energy, a resonant L-C circuit is configured in the retarder. The retarder can be modeled as self-excited induction generator due to its operating principle. The driving conditions according to the retarder's parameters are made into 3-D maps. Also, the voltage of the resonant circuit changing depending on the driving pulse applied to the FET was analyzed. For the control of this voltage, we proposed an algorithm using the PI controller. The controlled voltage is converted by a 3-phase AC/DC converter and then charged to a battery inside the heavy vehicles through a DC/DC converter. Electromagnetic retarder and its controller are validated using Matlab Simulink. We also demonstrate the voltage controller through the actual M-G set experiment.

This paper presents a new regenerative brake system of electric vehicles that employs a continuous variable transmission(CVT) and a flywheel. The developed device has advantages over existing regenerative brakes from a standpoint of reliability and versatility in actual driving conditions. The system consists of a CVT, two wheels, a flywheel, a coupling and auxiliary powertrain components. The CVT is designed as a combination of two cones and a roller, which causes the velocity difference between the wheel and the flywheel. The power flow of the flywheel system is controlled by the CVT roller and the coupling through step motors. A prototype has been developed and then its performance has been investigated for various operating conditions. Results show that the storage efficiency of the flywheel is much affected by the vehicle's velocity and it is reduced below 20% for high speed, as compared to the 25% efficiency for an ideal condition. The CVT is a primary factor for lowering the flywheel efficiencies due to large friction and slipping between the cone and the roller.

This study examined the fluid flow characteristics of a hydraulic retarder adapted as an auxiliary brake for heavy vehicles. The commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software STAR-CCM+ was used to investigate the torque performance and flow characteristics of the hydraulic retarder. The numerical results showed that the pressure distribution was higher near the inner wall surface of the rotor and stator. The pressure of the working fluid increased in the radial direction of the rotor and stator. The variation in the fluid velocity intensity showed a similar trend to that of the fluid pressure, but the maximum velocity appeared near the outer wall surface of the rotor and stator interface. The numerical results showed that increasing the revolution speed of the retarder greatly increased the rate of torque generation.

기존 전동차 제어시스템의 경우에는 종합제어장치를 통하여 차량 내의 각종 정보를 운전자 화면에 현시하여 운전자가 차량의 상태를 감시하도록 구성되어 있다. 그러나 차량고장 등과 같이 갑작스런 사고가 발생할 경우에는 운전자가 당황하여 정확한 고장조치를 하기 어려운 것이 현실이다. 또한 제동제어기 및 보조전원장치 등 주요장치들의 제어정보를 분석하기 위하여 차량이 기지에 입고되고 난 후에 유지보수원이 현장에서 일일이 수동으로 데이터를 저장하는 매우 비효율적인 유지보수시스템으로 운영되고 있다. 이러한 점을 개선하기 위해서는 차량 내에 센서통신네트워크 및 감시시스템을 설치하여 차량 내의 모든 정보를 실시간으로 송수신하는 시스템을 구축하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 시스템 구축을 위하여 전동차 제어 및 감시시스템의 표준화 방안을 제시함으로써, 이를 통해 차량시스템의 안전성을 향상하고 유지보수를 보다 효율적으로 개선하고자 한다.
