The fuel cell vehicle is a type of hydrogen vehicle which uses a fuel cell to produce electricity, powering its on-board electric motor. The fuel cell vehicle driving principle is completely different from the internal combustion engine vehicle. In order to ensure the durable quality of the fuel cell vehicle, durability test mode considering the characteristics of the fuel cell must be developed. In this study, we derived the durability test mode profile through collecting and analyzing fuel cell vehicle driving data. Then, the accelerated durability test mode is developed by adding degradation conditions and is experimentally validated to have an acceleration factor of 5~6.

In new generation vehicle technologies, a fuel cell vehicle becomes more important, by virtue of their emission merits. In addition, a fuel cell is considered as a major source to generate the electricity for vehicles in near future. This paper focuses on modeling of not only an electric vehicle and but also a fuel cell vehicle to estimate performances. And an EV cart is manufactured to verify the modeling. Speed, voltage, and current of the vehicle and modeling are compared to estimate them at acceleration test and driving mode test. The estimations are also compared with the data of the Ballard Nexa fuel cell stack. In order to investigate a fuel cell based vehicle, motor and fuel cell models are integrated in a electric vehicle model. The characteristics of individual components are also integrated. Calculated fuel cell equations show good agreements with test results. In the fuel cell vehicle simulation, maximum speed and hydrogen fuel consumption are estimated. Even though there is no experimental data from vehicle tests, the vehicle simulation showed physically-acceptable vehicle characteristics.

It is often thought that because no-start motor vehicles cannot start an engine, a fire cannot occur for motor vehicle causes. However, although the engine cannot start up, some parts may be live with electricity if a battery is connected. If the parts have problems, a fire can occur. This study analyzed the causes of fires occurring when a motor vehicle was loaded onto a tow truck to service no-start. It is suggested that no-start motor vehicles should separate a battery terminal to prevent a fire. And this fire is related to automotive products liability.

In recent years, the development of fuel cell vehicles has further accelerated because of environmental problem and petroleum resources shortage. The fuel cell vehicles have the stack which converts fuel to electricity. The stack is usually mounted by bush to isolate the vibration of chassis and body. This paper analyzed the vibratory characteristics of stack and chassis, body system. The wheel forces of fuel cell vehicle are measured to estimate the road load data. And the paths of vibration from wheel to stack are analyzed by CAE. According to the test and CAE results, the improvement of stack vibration are evaluated.

The sub-zero cold is a major environmental consideration for the operational readiness of FCEVs because fuel cells produce water and utilize wet air with varying water content to generate electricity. Typical fuel cells thus have a fatal flaw in freezing conditions at startup. This drawback becomes more serious with the outsourced fuel cell that is entirely water-based for its internal humidification. In this background, the HMC's self-designed fuel cell was developed as an alternative and was employed in the Tucson-based FCEV in 2006 demonstrating its good cold-startup characteristics. The cold-startup capacity of the vehicle was validated through tests in the cold chamber and on the road, resulting in 50% stack power achieved in 250 seconds at $-15^{\circ}C$.

전기자동차 보급이 확대됨과 동시에 충전이 특정 시간대에 몰리거나 전력수요가 높은 시간대에 늘어나면 전력수급 균형이 불안해질 수 있다. 따라서 전기자동차 충전으로 인한 전력수요가 증가함과 동시에, 전기자동차의 전력수요를 분산시키고, 전기자동차 배터리의 여분의 전기를 활용할 수 있는 스마트그리드 구축이 중요해진다. 아직 국내에서 스마트그리드가 전기자동차의 전력망 영향 관리에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는지에 대해서는 정량적 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 스마트그리드를 통한 전기자동차의 전력망 영향 관리 효과를 정량적으로 분석하고 정책적 시사점을 제시하였다. 결과적으로 스마트그리드는 전기자동차의 전력망 영향을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있었다. 전력시장 구조와 규제 프레임워크는 스마트그리드 기술의 실증과 상용화 촉진을 뒷받침할 수 있어야 할 것이다.

플러그인 하이브리드 전기자동차(Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, PHEV)는 하이브리드 전기자동차(Hybrid Electric Vehicle, HEV)의 일종으로, 배터리 용량을 HEV보다 더욱 증대시키고 배터리의 충전을 전력망으로부터 할 수 있도록 한 자동차이며, 순수 배터리 전기자동차(Plug-in Battery Electric Vehicle, PBEV)는 전력망으로부터 전기를 배터리에 충전하여 저장하고 배터리에 저장된 전기만을 이용하여 운전가능한 자동차이다. 최근에 PHEV와 PBEV에 대한 관심과 개발이 전세계적으로 급속하게 증가하고 있다. 그러므로 이들 전력망 충전식 전기자동차가 전력망의 전력수요에 미치는 영향을 검토하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 이들 PHEV와 PBEV 자동차의 보급으로 전력망의 전력수요, 이산화탄소 배출량과 차량구매자의 관점에서 운전비용에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 2020년경에 차량보급이 10%정도로 이루어질 것을 가정하여 영향을 분석하였다.

In this paper, we propose a development method for a drowsiness detection system using retinex theory and edge information for vehicle safety. Detection of a drowsy state of a driver is very important because the drowsiness of driver is often the main cause of many car accidents. After acquiring an image of the entire face, we executed the pre-process step using the retinex theory. We then applied a technique for the detection of the white pixels using edge information. Experimental results showed that the proposed method improved the accuracy of detecting drowsiness to nearly 98%, and can be used to prevent a car accident caused by the driver's drowsiness.

This paper presents a new road generative system that employs a pad of preventive overspeed or tollgate. The system consists of pad, shaft, torsional damper, oneway-clutch, gear system, and electricity generator components. When the car driven through the road generation system, it occurred to surplus energy in the DC power. In order to maximize the power of electricity energy harvester, the simulation software is developed. It is used to determine parametric dimension for optimal design with the theoretically calculated results from the simulation software. The transient responses at the conditions of low and high vehicle speed are compared with the calculated results as torque, impact force, power, out energy etc. Consequently, before design a road generation system, the analysis of simulation results shows that the proposed concept and system has efficiency and confidence.
