According to the United States FMVSS 208, every passenger car on the market after September of 2006 must install a safety system, which can deploy the airbag with different intensity or suppression based on the passenger type, to reduce infant and child injuries from airbag deployments. The Weight Classification System, which has been developed by Hyundai Autonet, is a system that classifies the person occupying the passenger seat. To overcome sensing problems due to the weight sensors small voltage, the Distributed Systems Interface is adopted.

Increasing safety requirements of automobile are asking companies to find out solutions, based on the ISO 26262 which is a functional safety standard. ISO 26262 is an adaptation of the IEC 61508 for automotive electric/electronic systems. ISO 26262 provides a V model for ECU (Electronic Control Unit) development process to secure safety against vehicle. It well describes the requirements, necessary works and their resulting products for each development phase. However, it is difficult to apply to product development for achieving functional safety in the electric/electronic systems of an automobile because it lacks explanation on the working steps to follow and the methodologies and tools to be used in each step. In this paper, we introduce the outline of the ISO 26262 product development process and present a DFSS (Design For Six Sigma) road-map based on the ISO 26262 product development process as a way to operate efficiently the ISO 26262 product development process. The DFSS road-map consists of five phases: Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, and Verify. The detailed activities, tools, inputs, and work products are given for each phase.

Joint properties of vehicle ECU (Electric Control Unit) module which was manufactured by using Sn-Cu-Cr-Ca alloy were investigated. A new solder which has a middle melting temperature about $231^{\circ}C$ was fabricated as the type of 300um solder ball and paste type. The prototype modules were made by reflow process and measured spreadability, wettability shear strength and estimated interface reaction. The spreadability of the alloy was about 84% from the measurement of contact angle of the solder ball and the wetting force was measured 2mN. The average shear strength of the module which was manufactured by using the solder paste, was 1.9 $kg/mm^2$. Also, the thickness of IMC(intermetallic compound) was evaluated with various aging temperature and time in order to understand Cr effect on Sn-0.7Cu solder. $Cu_6Sn_5$ IMC was formed between Cu pad and the solder alloy and the average thickness of the $Cu_6Sn_5$ IMC was measured about 4um and it was about 50% of thickness of $Cu_6Sn_5$ IMC in Sn-0.7Cu. It is expected to have a positive effect on reliability of the solder joint.

하이브리드 자동차나 전기 자동차에는 대용량의 배터리를 장착하여 동력 및 전장품의 전원으로 사용하고 있다. 대용량의 배터리를 이용하여 ECU(Electronic control unit) 및 조명, 라디오, 네비게이션 등의 전장품의 전원으로 사용하기 위해서는 DC 240-400V의 높은 전압을 DC 12-14V의 낮은 전원으로 변환해 주는 DC 컨버터가 필요한데 이것을 LDC(Low Voltage DC-DC Converter)라 한다. LDC는 생산 공정 중에 잠재적인 불량을 줄이기 위해 장시간의 에이징(Aging)을 실시하고 있다. 일반적인 에이징 방법으로는 LDC가 DC-DC 컨버터이기에 입력에 직류전원공급기와 출력에 전자부하기를 연결하여 사용한다. 안정적인 동작을 위해 LDC 보다 10%이상 큰 용량의 제품을 사용하며, 출력에 걸리는 전력을 100% 열로 소비하는 구조이다. 때문에 LDC를 테스트 위해 2개의 장비를 사용함에 따른 부피의 문제와 전자부하기의 발열에 따른 문제가 존재한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 부하장치에서 열로 소비되는 전기의 상당부분을 입력 측으로 되돌려 보내는 재생형 방식의 부하시험방법을 제안하고 재생형 부하 시험기의 효율 개선을 통하여 열로 소비된 전기의 80% 이상 절감을 실현하였다.

현재 차량에서 일반적으로 많이 쓰이고 있는 변속 스위치의 방법은 전위차를 신호로하는 접촉식이다. 접촉식은 신호전달에 있어서 정확한 방식의 하나이지만 장시간 사용 시 접촉면의 노후화로 인하여 수명이 짧아진다. 비 접촉 방식으로 사용될 수 있는 자기센서를 사용 한다면 접촉면의 노후화를 해결 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 자기센서의 특징을 살려서 비 접촉식 방법으로 차량용 변속스위치에 적용 하여 기존 접촉식 방법의 문제를 해결하였다. 센서 출력 전압은 가변적인 전위차를 가지는데 스위치의 각동에 따라 통상 0mV에서 150mV의 값을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 5개의 상태 신호에 대한 두 개의 사인 신호를 사용 하였다.

Stick type ignition coil is new development that connect directly with ECU(Electronic control unit), without needing a spark plug cable and distributor. Glass-fiber reinforced ploymeric composites provide the desirable properties of high stiffness and strength as well as low specific weight. Stick type ignition coil jacket is using PBT CF30 resin. PBT CF30 resin is a kind of electric insulation which is a superior engineering plastic that is used to prevent the leakage of the electrical current. If PET receive a mistake of design or excessive force when HV terminal oppress on jacket, it can happen to crack. Local stress concentrations occurring on the contact surface, the contact phenomenon becomes a direct cause to the wear and failure of mechanical structures. When it is cracked, it can allow a leakage of the electrical current. So, in this study, we analyze the contact stress to PBT jacket using ANSYS program, when HV terminal oppress on jacket. We suppose PBT to be Jacket and we analyzed contact stress that happens in PET like PBT analysis method. We compared the use of PBT and PET.

The purpose of this study is development of universal engine model for integrated Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) simulator and a optimization of engine model. The engine model of this study is based on the MATLAB Simulink for universal and include engine fuel economy technologies for HEV. Various engine fuel economy technologies for HEV is estimated by commercial engine 1-D simulation program - WAVE. And, the 1-D simulation model of base version is compared with engine experiment result. The analyzed engine technologies with 1-D simulation are Dual-CVVT, Atkinson-Cycle and Cylinder-Deactivation System. There are improvement of fuel economy and power performance with Dual-CVVT model at part load and full load, pumping loss reduction with Cylinder-Deactivation System at idle and regeneration. Each estimated technologies are analyzed by 1-D simulation on all operation region for base data to converse simulink. The simulink based engine model maintains a signal with ECU for determination of engine operation point.
