This paper presents steering system requirements to ensure the stabilized lateral control of autonomous driving vehicles. The two main objectives of a lateral controller in autonomous vehicles are maintenance of vehicle stability and tracking of the desired path. Even if the desired steering angle is immediately determined by the upper level controller, the overall controller performance is greatly influenced by the specification of steering system actuators. Since one of the major inescapable traits that affects controller performance is the time delay of the steering actuator, our work is mainly focused on finding adequate parameters of high level control algorithm to compensate these response characteristics and guarantee vehicle stability. Actual vehicle steering angle response was obtained with Electric Power Steering (EPS) actuator test subject to various longitudinal velocity. Steering input and output response analysis was performed via MATLAB system identification toolbox. The use of system identification is advantageous since the transfer function of the system is conveniently obtained compared with methods that require actual mathematical modeling of the system. Simulation results of full vehicle model suggest that the obtained tuning parameter yields reduced oscillation and lateral error compared with other cases, thus enhancing path tracking performance.

운전자에게 편의성을 제공하는 차량의 주행관련 Advanced driver assist system (ADAS)에는 차량의 종방향과 횡방향 운동에 대한 제어기가 요구된다. 횡방향 제어를 위해서는 조향 시스템의 조향각 제어가 요구되는데 최근 구조적으로 간단하고 연비향상, 차량의 중량 감소, 빠른 응답성을 가지고 있는 전기적 파워 조향 (Electric power steering, EPS) 시스템이 자동차 산업에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 차량의 주행관련 ADAS를 사용하여 자율 주행 시 EPS 시스템은 상위 제어기에서 계산된 필요한 조향각을 추종 할 수 있도록 조향 핸들의 각 제어를 해야 한다. 그러나 일반적인 EPS 시스템은 운전자가 조향 핸들에 인가된 토크를 보조해 줄 수 있는 토크를 출력해 준다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하는 방법들을 설명한다. 먼저 EPS 시스템의 기본 기능에 대해서 설명을 하고, 자율 추행 차량을 위한 조항 핸들의 각 제어를 위한 proportional-integral 제어, 슬라이딩 모드 제어 (Sliding mode control), 관측기 기반 비선형 댐핑 제어(Observer based nonlinear damping control) 등과 같은 다양한 기법의 제어 알고리즘들에 대한 방법들이 고찰되었다.

The design of SPMSM(surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor) has been performed to reduce cogging torque and torque ripples. In general, cogging torque and torque ripples are affected by the shapes of teeth width, yoke depth, magnet pole arc, etc. Particularly, the minimum design point of cogging torque and torque ripples are different so that the design of SPMSM should be done to compromise both of them for precision application. In this paper, the design of PMSM for EPS(electric power steering) system is performed to verify the validity, and the design characteristics versus teeth width, yoke depth, and magnet pole arc are investigated in order to find out the minimum point of cogging torque and torque ripples. In addition, skew of PM is applied for cogging torque reduction.

본 논문에서는 기존의 EPS(Electric Power Steering) 시스템에 IPMSM을 적용하고 속도 및 위치를 검출하기 위하여 Magnetic Position Sensor를 사용하였다. 이�� Magnetic Position Sensor의 신호는 정현파의 출력을 갖지만 고조파의 성분으로 인하여서 파형이 왜곡되고 이러한 파형의 왜곡으로 인해 위치 검출의 오차를 갖게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 오차를 줄이기 위하여 다구찌 기법과 3차원 유한요소법(3D FEM)을 사용하여 고조파를 저감시킬 수 있도록 여러 변수를 변화하여서 최적의 설계를 통하여 실제 실제 센서 출력과 비교하여 자동차 산업 전반에 기여 하고자 한다.

This paper deals with the torque ripple reduction of permanent magnet synchronous motor using harmonic current injection. Torque ripple of electric motor reduces system stability and performances, therefore efforts to reduce torque ripple are exerted in the design process. Torque ripple can be reduced by appropriate pole/slot combination, skew of rotor or stator, design of magnetic circuit, etc. In addition, torque ripple can be also reduced by input voltage and current, and many researches have been conducted to reduce torque ripple for six-step drive. Torque ripple reduction for current vector controlled permanent magnet synchronous motor also have been conducted and verified by investigating back emf wave form. Torque ripple reduction in this paper started from getting torque profile according to input current and electrical angle calculated by FEA, then instantaneous currents at each electrical angles for constant torque are calculated and applied to experiments. Therefore, 0% of torque ripple can be obtained theoretically with harmonic current injection. In order to maximize the effect of torque ripple reduction, a BLDC motor having high harmonic component of back emf is chosen. With sinusoidal current drive, over 100% of torque ripple is obtained initially, then 0.5 % of torque ripple is obtained by FEA using harmonic current injection. The effect is verified by experiment and the presented method can be effectively applicable to Electric Power Steering(EPS).
