An agriculture machines are subjected to different loads conditions. Due to this loads variations there will be certain deformations and stress which affect the performance of the electric vehicle in adverse manner. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the total deformation and stress of the electric farm vehicle middle frame based on the finite element method. The proposed electric farm vehicle has lifting and dumping capability. Therefore, in this research four operational condition such as normal condition, dumping condition, lifting condition, and lifting-dumping condition was analyzed. In this research, the design for whole frame structure is elaborated. According to the mechanical characteristics of the frame, materials are selected and manufacturability requirements are limited. Based on ANSYS 15 software, the finite element model of electric farm vehicle is established to carry out static analysis on full-loaded conditions. The simulation results shows that the proposed design meet the strength requirements and displacement requirements. The maximum deformation 0.53611 mm and maximum stress 30.163 MPa occurred at lifting-dumping condition.

The aim of this study was to verify an E-driving system of a 44 kW-class electric tractor using agricultural workload data. Workload data were acquired during field test (plow tillage, rotary tillage, loader operation, field driving, asphalt driving) using a conventional tractor with a load measurement system. These workload data were converted to data of a 44 kW-class tractor based on the load factor of the engine. These data were used to verify the design of the E-driving system of an electric tractor. High-load operations such as plow tillage, rotary tillage, and loader operation could be performed at stage L and stage M. High-speed operation (asphalt driving) could be effectively performed at stage H using a rated rotational speed of the motor. As a result, the E-driving system of the electric tractor was possible to perform all major agricultural operations according to gear stages of range shift. Based on results of this research, we plan to develop an electric tractor equipped with an E-driving system and conduct research on actual vehicle verification in the future.

As environmental concerns including climate change drive the strong regulations for car exhaust emissions, electric vehicles attract the public eye. The purpose of this study is to identify rural areas vulnerable for charging infrastructures based on the spatial distributions of the current gas stations and provide the target dissemination rates for promoting electric cars. In addition, we develop various scenarios for finding optimal way to expand the charging infrastructures through the administrative districts data including 11,677 gas stations, the number of whole national gas stations. Gas stations for charging infrastructures are randomly selected using the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) method. Evaluation criteria for vulnerability assessment include five considering the characteristic of rural areas. The optimal penetration rate is determined to 21% in rural areas considering dissemination efficiency. To reduce the vulnerability, the charging systems should be strategically installed in rural areas considering geographical characteristics and regional EV demands.

In this research, tricycle vehicle simulation based on multi-body environment has been introduced. Mathematical model of tricycle vehicle was developed. In this research the left and right wheel speed are calculated based on the rear steering angle and velocity. The kinematic model for the three - wheel drive system was completed and the results were analyzed using the actual vehicle drawings. Through simulink vehicle performance on linear and rotation movement were simulated. Using the mathematical model the control system can be applied directly to the tricycle vehicle. The simulation result shows that the proposed vehicle model is successfully represent the movement characteristics of the real vehicle. This model assists the vehicle developer to create the controller and understand the vehicle during the development process.

The percentage of those aged 60 and over is 43.5% among our country's 3,186 thousands farming population, so farm village is getting aging society rapidly. Moreover agricultural competitiveness has being weakened due to labor shortage by degradation in quality of labor configuration from elderly porson. For realisms easy workability, we developed a motor vehicle for agricultural activity. The vehicle has an automatic guidance system which could follows a track of magnetic tape on the floor for easy moving to given working position. We collected data from two guidance sensors, located on front and rear end of the vehicle and calculated displacement and angle deviation from the track. This traveling system was stably controlled with processing information deflection S, angle of deviation, D and angle velocity, Vt = $k_1D$ - $k_2S$ from two guidance sensors attached on front and rear of th motor vehicle. Also this system have been tested under various condition of $k_1$, $k_2$ for comparison on both stepped and turning routes. The results show that traveling performance is best at $k_1$=0.7, $k_2$=3.

농업의 탄소 중립 및 기후변화 대응을 위해 그동안 내연기관 중심으로 발전해 왔던 농업기계도 온실가스의 배출이 없는 전동 기반의 기술로 전환이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 농업용 전동 UTV의 진동과 충격을 저감시키고, 차량의 주행안정성과 조종성능을 향상하기 위하여 전동 UTV 서스펜션 설계를 위한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션은 차체의 공차 하중과 화물을 적재한 하중 상태로 나누어 수행되었다. UTV의 서스펜션 스프링의 가동 범위는 조건 B가 공차상태에서 가동범위 30% 이내의 수준을 나타내고, 적재 중량을 만재한 상태의 UTV 서스펜션 변위는 264mm→121mm로 작아지고, 댐핑속도는 260mm/s→300mm/s로 가동범위 60% 이내의 수준에 있음을 알 수 있었다. 다목적 농작업용을 위한 전동 UTV의 서스펜션은 주행과 지형 적응뿐 아니라 경운과 같은 견인작업에서 농작업 능력을 유지하기 위해 매우 중요한 요인이다. 이 연구의 결과는 전동 UTV를 다양한 농작업에 이용할 수 있도록 적절한 댐핑 범위를 갖는 스프링 파라메터를 결정하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

현대 사회의 농업 인구의 고령화 및 감소로 농업 환경 개선이 필요한 실정이고 대표적인 문제 중 하나이다. 그리고 대부분의 작업체계에서 항상 운반 작업이 필요하기 때문에 운반 작업에 사용되는 시간과 노동력의 비율이 매우 높다. 이에 따라 많은 종류의 운반차들이 개발되고 판매되고 있으며, 초기에는 대부분 화석연료를 사용하는 동력운반차가 주종을 이루고 있다. 그러나 최근에는 지구온난화와 기후변화협약 등 국제 환경규제의 강화 및 화석연료의 고갈로 인한 수소, 연료전지, 태양광, 바이오 등 차세대 친환경에너지를 주목하고 있다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 화석연료를 대체하는 친환경적이며 누구나 쉽게 조작이 가능하고 안전한 농업용 전기운반차를 개발하는 것을 최종목표로 한다. 농업용 전기운반차의 광범위한 차속 조절 및 안정성 확보에 초점을 두고 설계하였으며, 성능 및 디자인을 고려하여 프레임, 주행부, 조향부, 컨트롤러 시스템 등으로 구성되어 각 부분별 검토하였다. 본 연구의 농업용 전기운반차가 젊은 인력이 부족한 농경사회에서 고령노동자나 여성들이 쉽고 편하게 작업을 할 수 있고 높은 효율성을 통해서 농경사회에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

We developed a platform that was capable of autonomous steering in a furrow environment. It was developed to autonomously control steering by recognizing the furrow using a laser distance, three-axis tilt, and temperature sensor. The performance evaluation indicated that the autonomous steering success rate was 99.17%, and it was possible to climb up to 5° on the slope. The usage time was approximately 40 h, and the maximum speed was 6.7 km/h.
