This paper evaluates the effectiveness of four-wheel-steering system from the viewpoint of lane-keeping control theory. In this paper, the lane-keeping control system is designed on the basis of the four-wheel-steering automobiles whose desired steering response is realized with the application of model matching control. Two types of desired steering responses are presented in this paper. One is zero-sideslip response, the other one is steering response which realizes zero-phase-delay of lateral acceleration. Using simplified linear two degree-of-freedom bicycle model, simulation study and theoretical analysis are conducted to evaluate the lane-keeping control performance of active four-wheel-steering automobiles which have different desired steering responses. Finally, the evaluation is conducted on straight and curved roadway tracking maneuvers.

본 논문에서는 실제 도로에서 기울어진 촬영 각도로 인하여 회전된 차량 번호판을 정확하게 탐지하기 위하여 객체 세그먼테이션(object segmentation)을 이용하는 개선된 2-단계 차량 번호판 탐지 모델을 제안한다. 기존 연구에서 제안한 3-단계 차량 번호판 탐지 파이프라인 모델은 차량 번호판이 많이 기울어져 있을수록 탐지 정확도가 낮아지는 문제가 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 기존의 3-단계 모델에서 사각형 형태만으로 차량 후보 영역과 차량 번호판 후보 영역을 인식하는 전위 2개의 처리 단계 대신에 임의의 형태로 객체 탐지가 가능한 객체 세그먼테이션을 이용하는 하나의 단계로 대체함으로써 탐지 과정을 단순화하였으며 궁극적으로는 임의의 형태로 기울어진 차량 이미지에 대해서도 탐지 성능을 개선하였다. 기울어진 차량 번호판 이미지를 대상으로 실시한 차량 번호판 탐지 모델의 정확도 분석 실험 결과에 의하면 기존의 3-단계 차량 번호판 탐지 모델보다 제안된 2-단계 기법이 탐지 과정을 단순화하였음에도 최대 약 20%의 탐지 정확도를 개선할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

현대자동차그룹은 HSM이라고 불리는 간략화된 차량 모델에 대하여 썬루프 버페팅 현상의 실험적인 조사를 시행하였다. 현대자동차그룹은 어떤 CFD솔버가 충분한 정확도를 가지고 썬루프 버페팅 현상을 예측하는지 조사하기 위해 상용CFD공급업체의 참여를 요청하였다. ANSYS Korea는 이번 조사에 참여하여 ANSYS fluent를 이용하여 HSM의 썬루프 버페팅에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 유동장 검증을 위해 풍속 60 km/h에 대하여 썬루프가 닫힌 HSM모델에 대하여 해석을 수행하였다. HSM상부 면의 세 지점에서 속도 분포를 예측하였고, 이는 시험결과와 비교되었다. 그런 다음 고해상도 난류 모델인 DES를 이용한 해석이 전 풍속영역에 걸쳐 수행되었다. 버페팅 주파수와 버페팅 음압레벨이 예측되었고, 이는 시험결과와 비교되었다. 이를 통해 실제 차량 개발을 위한 CFD의 예측 가능성에 대하여 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

Recently hydrogen fuel cell buses have been deployed for the public transportations. In order to introduce buses fueled by hydrogen successfully, the research results of hydrogen bus safety should be discussed and investigated significantly. Especially, Korean government drives research in terms of various applications of hydrogen energy to replace the conventional fuel energy resources and to improve the safety evaluation. Thus it is necessary to examine vehicle crashworthiness under side impact loadings. This study was focused on the simulation result evaluation of full bus model and simplified bus model with hydrogen fuel tank module and mounting system located below floor structure due to the significance of bus side impact accidents. The finite element models of hydrogen bus, fuel tank system and side impact moving barrier were set up and simulation results reported model performance and result comparison of two side impact models. Computational results and research discussion showed the conceptual side impact framework to evaluate hydrogen bus crashworthiness.

The levitation system of Maglev is composed with electro-magnet, power supplier, controller and sensor. The complex interactions between above subcomponents define the characteristics of electromagnetic suspension of the vehicle. In this study, to understand the influence of controller on the running performance of Maglev, the new controller based on LQ theory will be designed and be simulated with simplified vehicle model. Then the influence of controller on the characteristics of electromagnetic suspension will be reviewed through comparison with existing control algorithm of our prototype vehicle.

For way-point tracking of an autonomous underwater vehicle, a state feedback controller was designed by using pole placement scheme in discrete time domain. In the controller, 4 state variables were used for regulating the depth of the vehicle in z direction, and 3 state variables, for steering the vehicle in xy plane. Assuming constant speed of AUV, we simplified the design of the way-point tracking system. The proposed controller was simulated by MATLAB/Simulink using 6 degree-of-freedom nonlinear model and its performance of way point tracking was shown to be fulfilled within 1 m, nevertheless the proposed controller is quite simple and easy to implement compared to sliding mode controller.

Numerical and experimental studies are performed to investigate the effect of the underbody shape of the simplified road vehicle on drag and life. Four different vehicle models with front and rear slanted variations at the lower surface are used in this study. Cases with a slanted underbody surface at front have smaller drag than those without a slanted surface. Also, cases with a slanted underbody surface at rear have smaller lift than those without a slanted surface. Pressure distributions along the model surfaces and velocity fields at the wake region are examined in detail. In general, numerical solutions are in agreement with experimental results.

A dynamic design process was proposed for the design of the secondary suspension characteristics of a magnetically levitated vehicle(MAGLEV). It is based on a ride quality-secondary stroke trade-off. For the vertical vibration analysis, a magnetically levitated vehicle was simplified as 2 d.o.f. linear model, and FRA's class-6-track irregularities were considered as exciting disturbances. The optimum value of airspring stiffness and damping coefficient for the secondary suspension of a prototype MAGLEV was determined using this proposed design process.

The structural safety of hydrogen buses is being evaluated for the successful introduction of hydrogen buses. The crash test methodology, for example, side impact test procedure is being discussed for hydrogen bus structure safety with a compressed hydrogen storage system located under the bus floor. Thus this study describes a new experiment method for side impact test with compressed hydrogen storage system independently based on finite element analysis instead of side impact test using full hydrogen bus. A side crash procedure of conceptual compressed hydrogen storage structure was investigated and impact simulations were performed. The finite element models of hydrogen bus, simplified structures, fuel tank system and side impact moving barrier were set up and simulation results reported model performance and result comparison of three different simplified models. Computational results and research discussion proposed the fundamental test framework for safety assessment of the compressed hydrogen storage system.
