With the growing traffic density and increasing comfort requirements, the automation of the drive train has gained importance in vehicles. The automatic clutch actuation relieves a driver especially in urban and stop-and-go traffic environments. In this paper, an electro-mechanical actuator for clutch-by-wire (CBW) system is implemented as the first stage for the development of automated manual transmissions. The prototype of the automatic clutch actuator is designed systematically, which is composed of the electric motor, worm and worm wheel, and crank mechanism. A test rig is developed to perform the basic function test for the automatic clutch actuation. The developed prototype is validated by the experimental results performed on the test rig.

It is well known that most power steering systems obtain the power by a hydraulic mechanism. Therefore, it consumes more energy because the oil power should be sustained all the times. Recently, to solve this problem the Electric Power System(EPS) or Motor Driven Power System(MDPS) has widely equipped in passenger vehicles. In this research the concurrent simulation technique for an EPS system with MATLAB/SIMULINK and a full vehicle model has been developed. The dynamic responses of vehicle chassis and steering system are evaluated. Then, a full vehicle model interacted with EPS control is concurrently simulated with an impulsive steering wheel torque input to analyze the stability of 'free control' or hands free motion for SUV. This integrated method allows engineers to reduce the prototype testing cost and to shorten the developing period.

This paper presents the analysis, design and performance of an axial-flux permanent magnet(AFPM) motor with a core-less stator. Axial-flux permanent magnet motors prove to be the best candidate for application in electric vehicles(EVs) as direct drive wheel motors, as in comparison with conventional motors. They allow designs with higher compactness lightness and efficiency. The paper discusses design and construction of a prototype motor, and reports experimental results achieved from laboratory tests.

Traditional cars have a structure that steers the front wheels to change their direction so they have difficulties in performing parking motion, especially in a narrow space. As electric vehicles developed, robotics technology especially omni-directional mobile robot technology began to be incorporated into the automobile field. Omni-directional mobility and special turning movements are particularly useful for parking cars. In this paper, we propose a four-wheeled mobile robot. The proposed robot has a structure that can combine or separate robot body and robot wheel parts by using electric brakes. The proposed robot has omni-directional mobility and has the ability to rotate around an arbitrary point. Due to these omnidirectional and rotational characteristics, the proposed robot allows for various types of movements when applied to a car. In particular, parking is performed in a simple and intuitive manner that does not require complicated path planning. We implemented the proposed four-wheeled robot and showed its effectiveness by conducting several parking experiments.

This paper deals with the design and characteristic analysis of a coreless an axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) motor. Axial-flux permanent magnet motors prove to be the best candidate for application in electric vehicles (EVs) as direct-drive wheel motors, as in comparison with conventional motors they allow design with higher compactness, lightness and efficiency. Recently, issues regarding environment and the diversification of dependence in oil are watched with keen interest. In this theses, through the simulation of AFPM for low and high torque which has stator in the center and two rotors each side, understand its specialty, with this, make a prototype motor and design drive which can enhance the motors stability in low speed. Especially, specialty of motors torque power output will be mainly talked and based on this, possibility of application in EVs will be inspected by the theoretical study and the test.
