This paper reviews the main drivers forcing change and progress in powertrains for passenger cars in the coming years. The environmental drivers of omissions and CO2 will force better technical performance, but customer demand for increased choice will force change in the basic engine design and provide opportunities for alternate configurations of powertrain. Gasoline engines will embody refinements of valve train actuations as well as developments in combustion, especially direct injection and possibly a lean booated form of direct injection. Nevertheless, the conventional, port injected engine will continue to be the dominant engine for some years to come. The high speed direct injection diesel will very soon supplant its indirect injection predecessor completely. It will take an increasing share of the total powertrain market as improved specific power and refinement make it even more attractive to the customer. Car manufacturers will provide diesel models to satisfy this customer demand as well as using the efficiency of the diesel to enable them to meet their fleet CO2 commitments. Both gasoline and diesel engines will see an increasing degree of electrification and partial hybridisation as efficient flywheel mounted electrical devices become available.

This paper proposes a primary side constant power control scheme for TRIAC dimmer compatible LED drivers. The LED driver is a Flyback converter operated in boundary conduction mode (BCM) to minimize the switching loss. With the proposed control scheme, the input power of the Flyback converter can be controlled by the TRIAC dimming angle, which is not affected by AC input voltage variations. Since the output voltage is almost constant for LED loads, the output current can be changed by controlling the input power with a given conversion efficiency. The isolated feedback circuit is eliminated with the proposed primary side control scheme, which dramatically simplifies the whole circuit. In addition, the input current automatically follows the input voltage due to the BCM operation, and the resistive input characteristic can be achieved which is attractive for TRIAC dimming applications. Experimental results from a 15W prototype verify the theoretical analysis.

Due to improvement of the semiconductor technology, the LED replaces the conventional lighting source and LED drivers have been studied and developed. The LED is driven by the constant current control method according to its characteristics. For the constant current control method, the linear regulator and the switching regulator is used. The switching regulator is usually used to LED drivers because it has specific characteristics as the wide input dynamic range and the high efficiency. In this paper, we have described the principle and the implement of the switching regulator, using the drive IC and the low cost DSP chip. Also, both methods have been implemented and its electrical characteristics had almost same experimental results in the steady state and the transient state.

Many vehicles have significantly under-inflated tires, primarily because drivers infrequently check their vehicles' tire pressure. When a tire is used while significantly under-inflated, its sidewalls flex more and the tire temperature increases, increasing stress and the risk of failure. In this study we evaluated tire safety and economical efficiency at various inflation pressure. For tire safety we performed FMVSS indoor durability test, measurement of rolling tire temperature, braking performance at dry/wet road condition, and rolling resistance test for economical efficiency. Results show that low pressure decreases tire durability of both speed-increase condition and load-increase condition. Heat temperature of rolling tire increases as pressure decreases and significantly under-inflated tires cause increase of vehicle's stopping distance at wet road condition. Also Under-inflation increases the rolling resistance of a tire and, correspondingly, decreases vehicle's fuel economy.

For display drivers employ typically a-Si n-channel field effect transistors, they require an inverted OLED structure with a cathode as the bottom contact. ITO is regarded as the bottom cathode and can be applied to large size AM-OLED and transparent inverted OLEDs. We report the effective structure to improve the efficiency of electron injection from ITO cathode to $Alq_3$. We report the effective structure to improve the efficiency of electron injection from ITO cathode to Alq3 and studied the current density-voltage characteristics of trilayer ($Alq_3-LiF-Al$), LiF and Mg inserted between ITO and $Alq_3$, respectively. We discovered that 1 nm Mg afforded the highest efficiency.

본 연구는 가변안내표지판(VMS, Variable Message Sign)의 표출방식과 제공되는 정보의 지체수준에 따른 운전자 우회율을 분석하는 것이 주요 목적이다. 이를 위하여 20대 이상의 운전면허소지자를 대상으로 차량시뮬레이터를 이용한 가상주행 실험 후 SP 조사를 실시하였고, 조사결과에 대하여 로짓모형을 구축하였다. 분석결과 문자식과 도형식 간 표출형식에 따른 운전자 우회에는 차이가 없었다. 또한 우회도로가 원활상태 일 경우, 주도로의 지체수준 125% 시점에서 우회하기 시작하였고, 지체수준이 증가함에 따라 우회율은 근소하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 우회도로가 지체상태 일 경우, 주도로의 지체수준 125% 시점에서 우회하기 시작하였고, 지체수준이 증가함에 따라 우회율은 지속적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 운전자의 우회시점에 대한 기준점을 제시하고 있으며, 향후 교통성능향상을 위한 교통정보제공 전략 수립 시 이를 반영한 교통정보제공전략이 검토 적용 되어야 할 것이다.

Frequently faced with dangerous situations, for evidentiary purpose in case of civil and criminal liability challenges, car drivers in Korea have been armed with so-called 'black boxes'; however, which are just video recorders in vehicles rather than real 'black boxes' that are equipped in the airplanes. In the United States, they are called EDRs(Event Data Recorders), more technically, which means that they record data of events happened while driving, such as velocity changes, airbags deployment, seatbelt wearing etc. just like in the airplanes. EDR technology is quickly becoming more advanced, more widely available, and less expensive; however, new concerns are emerging : the privacy of drivers. In U. S., vehicle manufacturers and insurance companies and the governmental agencies including the courts and legislatures are the main parties in terms of the EDR concerns. In order to determine the best way to regulate EDR, it is necessary to balance all the merits, such as safety, privacy, truth, justice and efficiency, to support a legal framework regulating the EDR concerns. This article, in light of the regulation of EDR and experience therof in the United States, examines EDR technology itself, particularly with respect to the automobile industry, describing its history, its current state, and trends that may change it in the future; and explains how the National Highway Transportation Safety Agency (NHTSA), legislatures, courts have approached EDR data. At the early stage of regulation on EDRs in Korea, examining U. S. legal framework and usages would help for successful establishment of legislation and regulation.
