The technical development of electric vehicles has been actively proceeding because of the reduction of oil resources and need for eco-friendly vehicle technology. In particular, an electronic control unit is an important element in the technology of electric vehicles due to the motor drive system. This paper concerns an experimental study on the thermal analysis of the steering control ECU structure for an electric vehicle. The ECU unit is designed for eight heat sinks for the thermal analysis of the ECU structure. The thermal analysis characteristics of the ECU structure are evaluated by the temperature distribution, heat flow, von Mises stress, total translation, and external surface temperature measurement of the ECU unit.

ESD damage by Charged Cable Model (CCM) is introduced. Due to its own impedance characteristic unlike Human Body Model (HBM) or Machine Model (MM) electric component can be destroyed even though it is located after typical protection circuit. Possible mechanism of ESD damage to automotive electric control unit (ECU) in vehicle environment by CCM discharge was investigated. Based on investigation, field-returned vehicle whose ECU is expected to be damaged by CCM discharge was tested to reproduce it and similar electric component destruction inside ECU was observed. Suggestions to reduce the possibility of ESD damage by CCM are introduced.

최근 산업현장의 모든 부분에서 자동화의 요구가 급격하게 증가되고 있다. 지금까지의 사격장 시스템은 정적인 환경을 중심으로 설계되어져 왔다. 그러나, 실제의 사격상황은 목표물이 동적이므로 다른 사격 환경 변화가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 동적인 사격환경을 구현하기 위해 1개 사로에 4대의 타겟을 설치하여 사격순서를 순차 및 비순차로 구분하고 사격시간을 가변적으로 조정할 수 있게 하였다. 그리고. 자동차 및 빌딩 자동화에 많이 응용되고 있는 CAN(Controller Area Network)을 이용함으로써 효율적인 통신을 가능하게 하였다. CAN은 높은 데이터 전송률과 안정성을 제공할 수 있어 다수의 ECU(Electric Control Unit)를 상호 연결하여 분산된 실시간 제어를 효율적으로 지원할 수 있다.

Electric brake booster systems replace conventional pneumatic brake boosters with electric motors and rotary-todisplacement mechanisms including ECU (Electronic Control Unit). Electric booster brake systems require precise target pressure tracking and control robustness because vehicle brake systems operate properly given the large range of loading and temperature, actuator saturation, load-dependent friction. Also for the implement of imbedded control system, the controller should be selected considering the limited memory size and the cycle time problem of real brake ECU. In this study, based on these requirements, a sliding mode controller has been chosen and applied considering both model uncertainty and external disturbance. A mathematical model for the electric booster is derived and simulated. The developed sliding mode controller considering chattering problem has been compared with a conventional cascade PID controller. The effectiveness of the controller is demonstrated in some braking cases.

무공해 자동차를 만들기 위해 중요한 요소로서는 주행거리와 알맞은 가격이다. 니켈-수소 배터리와 같은 향상된 배터리의 개발은 부분적으로 문제를 해결할 수 있으며, 또 하나의 효과적인 방법은 배터리 관리 시스템이나. 니켈-수소 배터리와 배터리 ECU는 주행거리, 가속도, 등판능력과 같은 무공해 자동차의 성능에 영향을 미치는 중요한 구성품이다. 예컨대 운행 중 쉽게 발생하는 단락, 과방전, 과충전은 배터리와 관계되는 가장 큰 문제점이기 때문에 전용의 HEV용 배터리 ECU의 개발은 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 배터리 전류적산 및 전압에 기초한 HEV용 SOC 알고리즘을 제안하고 배터리 ECU를 설계 및 해석하였으며, 시험을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

ISO 26262 is an international standard for the functional safety of electric and electronic systems in vehicles, and this standard has become a major issue in the automotive industry. In this paper, a functional safety compliant electronic control unit (ECU) for an electric power steering (EPS) system and a demonstration purposed EPS system are developed, and a software and hardware structure for a safety critical system is presented. EPS is the most recently introduced power steering technology for vehicles, and it can improve driver’s convenience and fuel efficiency. In conformity with the design process specified in ISO 26262, the Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) of an EPS system is evaluated, and hardware and software are designed based on an asymmetric dual processing unit architecture and an external watchdog. The developed EPS system effectively demonstrates the fault detection and diagnostic functions of a functional safety compliant ECU as well as the basic EPS functions.

In this paper, we present a new method for the monitoring of Electric Control Unit's(ECU) self-diagnostic and the sensor signals of vehicle through Web. In order to measure the ECU's self-diagnostic and sensor signals, the interfaced circuit is designed to communicate ECU and terminal according to the ISO, SAE regulation of communication protocol standard. Microprocessor 80C196KC is used for communicating ECU's self-diagnostic signals and the results are sent to the Embedded Linux System(ELS) through RF module. ELS is developed by SA1110, RF module, Embedded Linux. All commands related in ECU communication are executed through Web. The CGI program composed in web server is executed by user and will return sensor signals from ECU Software on Embedded Linux system is developed to monitor the ECU's sensor signals using the arm compiler tool chain in which RS232 port is programmed by half duplex method. The possibility for remote measurement of ECU sensor signal through Web is verified through the developed systems and algorithms.

본 논문에서는 자동차의 내부 통신망(CAN)에 대한 보안 매커니즘이 매우 미비하여 외부로부터 위협 가능성이 높은 점을 검증하기 위한 방법으로 시중에서 쉽게 구입할 수 있는 자동차의 ECU(Electric Control Unit)을 이용하여 테스트 환경을 구축하여 CAN 메시지를 획득한 다음 자동차의 실제 ECU에 적용시켜 공격을 시도하는 방법을 제안한다. 최근 연구들 중에서는 자동차에서 누구나 쉽게 평문 상태의 CAN 메시지를 볼 수 있어 외부로부터 공격에 취약한 것을 보이기 위하여 실제 자동차에서 데이터를 분석한 내용을 가지고 공격을 성공시켰으나 차를 구입하여 고정시킨 상태에서 CAN 메시지를 추출하고, 이를 분석하여 공격을 시도함으로 공간적, 금전적, 시간적 비용을 발생시키는 단점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 자동차의 외부 위협 가능성을 검증하기 위한 실험을 수행하기 위해 자동차의 ECU를 통해 찾아낸 CAN 메시지를 실제 자동차에 적용하되 무선 네트워크 환경을 갖추어 실험한 결과 제안한 방법을 통해 자동차에 공격이 가능함을 확인한다. 그 결과 기존 연구에서 발생하는 비용을 줄임과 동시에 자동차의 정보가 전혀 없는 상태에서 자동차 ECU의 공격 가능성을 보인다.

As the development of microprocessor technology, electric power steering (EPS) system which uses an electric motor came to use a few years ago. It can solve the problems associated with hydraulic power steering. The motor only operates when steering assistance is needed, so it can save fuel and can reduce weight and cost by eliminating hydraulic pump and piping. As one of performance criteria of EPS systems, the transmissibility from road wheel load to steering wheel torque is considered in the paper. The transmissibility can be studied by fixing the steering wheel and calculating the torque needed to hold the steering wheel from road wheel load. A proportion-plus-derivative control is needed for EPS systems to generate desired static torque boost and avoid transmissibility of fluctuation. A pure proportion control can't satisfy both requirements.
