Drivers are becoming more fatigued and uncomfortable with increase in traffic density, and this condition can lead to slower reaction time. Consequently, they may face the danger of traffic accidents due to their inability to cope with frequent gear shifting. To reduce this risk, some drivers prefer automatic transmission (AT) over manual transmission (MT). The AT offers more superior drivability and less shifting shock than the MT; therefore, the AT market share has been increasing. The AT is controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU), which provides better shifting performance. The transmission control unit (TCU) is a higher-value-added product, so the companies that have advanced technologies end to evade technology transfer. With more cars gradually using the ECU, the TCU is expected to be faster and more efficient for organic communication and arithmetic processing between the control systems than the l6-bit controller. In this paper, the model of an automatic transmission vehicle using MATLAB/Simulink is developed for the Hardware in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation with a 32-bit embedded system, and also the AT control logic for shifting is developed by using MATLAB/Simulink. The developed AT control logic, transformed automatically by real time workshop toolbox, is loaded to a 32-bit embedded system platform based on Freescale's MPC565. With both vehicle model and 32-bit embedded system platform, we make the HIL simulation system and HIL simulation of AT based on real time operating system (RTOS) is performed. According to the simulation results, the developed HIL simulator will be used for the performance test of embedded system for AT with low cost and effort.

A Frequency synthesizer for T-DMB and mobile-DTV applications was designed using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process with 1.8V supply. PMOS transistors were chosen for VCO core to reduce phase noise. The VCO range is 920MHz-2100MHz using switchable inductors, capacitors and varactors. Varactor biases that improve varactor acitance characteristics were minimized as two, and $K_{VCO}$(VCO gain) value was aintained by switchable varactor. Additionally, VCO was designed that VCO gain and the interval of VCO gain were maintained using VCO gain compensation logic. VCO, PFD, CP and LF were verified by Cadence Spectre, and divider was simulated using Matlab Simulink, ModelSim and HSPICE. VCO consumes 10mW power, and is 56.3% tuning range. VCO phase noise is -127dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset for 1.58GHz output frequency. Total power consumption of the frequency synthesizer is 18mW, and lock time is about $140{\mu}s$.

Electric Motorcycle is one of the most promising candidates for future transportation because of its outstanding fuel economy and environmental pollution. Before prototyping a realistic electric motorcycle, a reliable simulation program is required to test the capacities of the power sources and optimize the parameters of an electric motorcycle. This process can reduce the expenses during the designing of an electric motorcycle system. In this paper, we present an electric motorcycle system simulation program implemented on Matlab, which can model drivetrain and powertrain systems in an easy, natural way within Simulink and PSAT. And the analysis of design parameters such as max power, capacity, state of charge, slope angle is carried out by the simulation and experimental method. The predicted results by the development model were a good agreement with experimentally obtained results.

This paper describes the parachute dynamics modeling and simulation results for the development of training simulator of a HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) parachute, which is currently in use for military purposes. The target parachute is a rectangular shaped parafoil and its dynamic model is derived based on the real geometry data as the 9-DOF nonlinear equations of dynamics. The simulation was conducted through the moment of inertia and its aerodynamic derivatives to reflect the real characteristics based on the MATLAB/Simulink. In particular, its modeling includes the typical characteristics of the added mass and moment of inertia, which is shown in the strong effects in Lighter-Than-Air(LTA) flight vehicle. The proposed dynamic modeling was evaluated through the simulation under the spiral turning flight conditions of the asymmetric control inputs and compared with the performance index in the target parachute manual.

Development of Small UAV using HILS (Hardware In the Loop Simulation) can be effectively used to improve the reliability of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) while reducing cost and time. It is also possible to reduce the damage to people or property by simulating the malfunction of the Flight Control Computer (FCC) that may occur during the actual flight. For applying such HILS, a real-time simulation environment capable of providing an environment similar to an actual flight condition is required. In this paper, we constructed a real - time HILS environment for Small UAV using 6 D.O.F motion table. In order to link the 6 D.O.F motion table developed in the previous research with the HILS environment in real time, the motion algorithm was changed from the position control method to the velocity control method. Also, we implemented modeling of inverse kinematics model for command transmission in Matlab $Simulink^{(R)}$ and verified the action of motion table according to the simulation model.

In this study, performance modeling and simulation of a gas turbine engine, a constituent module, was performed for the integrated control of the CODOG structure, mechanical propulsion systems. The engine model used MATLAB/Simulink to facilitate integration with the host controller and other components, and was configured to enable input/output settings suitable for the system configuration and purpose. In general, engine manufacturers do not provide performance data for the engine and components. Therefore, as a modeling method for a gas turbine, a CMF method that obtains performance data by scaling the map of components was applied. Using the generated model and simulation program, steady-state and dynamic simulation analysis tests were performed, and reliability within 5% of the maximum error was secured for the final output of power.

Fixed-wing UAVs have long endurance and range capabilities compared to other aerial platforms. These advantages led fixed-wing UAVs to become a popular platform for reconnaissance missions in the military. In this research, we modeled fixed-wing UAVs, including the landing gear model and developed a guidance and control system for flight control computers to construct a HILS environment. We also developed an autopilot system that includes automated take-off, cruise, and landing control for UAVs. We also retrived the Aerodynamic coefficients an UAV using Datcom and AVL software and used them for 6 degrees of freedom modeling. The Flight control computer calculates guidance commands using the Carrot chasing guidance law after distinguishing the condition of the UAV based on 16 pre-defined flight modes and calculates control inputs using Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI) control scheme. We used RTNngine to integrate the Simulink model and flight control computer for HILS environment formulation.

A detailed circuit level model requires a small sampling time to represent high frequency switching behaviors with proper resolution. The small sampling time leads a large execution time to obtain the system analysis results. As the alternative of the detailed circuit model, an averaged PWM switch model was proposed for the rapid system level analysis. There exists a voltage distortion between the reference and output voltage because of non-ideal switching characteristics, such as the dead-time, diode forward voltage drop and conduction resistance. This paper analyzed causes and effects of the voltage distortion. The average inverter model, which reflecting this voltage distortion, is developed for the rapid and accurate analysis of automotive electric drive system in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The rapidity and accuracy of the proposed inverter model is proved through comparison between simulation and experiment.

The steering systems of all-terrain cranes have been developed with various control strategies for the stability and drivability. To optimally control the input steering angle, an accurate mathematical model that represents the actual crane dynamics is required. The derivation of an accurate mathematical model to optimally control the steering angle, however, is difficult since the steering-control strategy generally varies with the magnitude of the crane's longitudinal velocity, and the postures of the crane's working parts vary while it is being driven. To address this problem, this paper proposes an automatic steering-control algorithm that is based on the MPC (model predictive control) with a disturbance observer for all-terrain cranes. The designed disturbance observer of this study was used to estimate the error between the base steering model and the actual crane. A model predictive controller was used for the computation of the optimal steering angle, along with the use of the base steering model with an estimated uncertainty. Performance evaluations of the designed control algorithms were conducted based on a curved-path scenario in the Matlab/Simulink environment. The performance-evaluation results show a sound reference-path-tracking performance despite the large uncertainties.

The aims of this paper is to develop a modular agricultural robot and its autonomous driving algorithm that can be used in field farming. Actually, it is difficult to develop a controller for autonomous agricultural robot that transforming their dynamic characteristics by installation of machine modules. So we develop for the model based control algorithm of rotary machine connected to agricultural robot. Autonomous control algorithm of agricultural robot consists of the path control, velocity control, orientation control. To verify the developed algorithm, we used to analytical techniques that have the advantage of reducing development time and risks. The model is formulated based on the multibody dynamics methods for high accuracy. Their model parameters get from the design parameter and real constructed data. Then we developed the co-simulation that is combined between the multibody dynamics model and control model using the ADAMS and Matlab simulink programs. Using the developed model, we carried out various dynamics simulation in the several rotation speed of blades.
