자동차 바퀴 방향 지시기란 운전자가 차 내부에서 자동차의 바퀴 방향을 실시간으로 알 수 있도록 전자 장비에 바퀴의 방향을 표시해주는 시스템으로서, 본 연구에서는 자동차 핸들의 회전량을 측정하여 LED(Light Emitted Diode)와 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)에 자동차 바퀴에 대한 방향 정보를 표시하는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 즉, 이렇게 자동차의 핸들 회전량을 측정하여 그 측정 데이터를 데이터 처리부에 적절하게 적용함으로써 자동차 내부에서 운전자가 인지할 수 있도록 해준다면 주차된 차를 주행하기 위해 자동차 창문을 열고 바퀴 방향을 봐야하는 등의 번거로움을 해소시킬 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

A bi-modal tram has been developed to offer an advanced transportation service compared with existing vehicles. The All-Wheel-Steering system is applied to the bi-modal tram to satisfy the required steering performance because the bi-modal tram has extended length and articulated mechanism. An ECU for the steering system is essential to steer wheels on 2nd and 3rd axles by the specific AWS algorithm with the prescribed driving condition. The Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation(HILS) system is planned for the purpose of evaluating the steering system of the bi-modal tram. There are kinematic links with the hydraulic actuator to steer wheels on each 2nd and 3rd axles and also same steering mechanism as the actual vehicle is in the HILS system. Controlling the movement of hydraulic actuator which reflects the lateral steering reaction force on each wheel is the key to realize the HILS system, but the reaction force is continuously changed according to various driving conditions. Therefore, the simulation through the multi-body dynamics model is used to obtain the required forces.

Automobile industry, along with the automobile steering system, is rapidly changing and developing. The constant velocity joint transmits power to the wheels of vehicles without changing their angular velocity based on the movement of the steering wheel. Moreover, it controls their movement to act as a buffer. In order to prevent the excessive increase in temperature caused by the movement of vehicles, boots are attached to the constant velocity joint and lubricant is injected into the boots. The boots maintain the lubrication and protect the constant velocity joint from sand, water, and so on. As the wheels of the vehicle rotate, the boots are acted upon by forces such as bending, compression, and tension. Additionally, self-contact occurs to boots. Therefore, their durability deteriorates over time. To prevent this problem, polychloroprene rubber was initially used however, it was replaced by thermoplastic polyester elastomers due to their excellent fatigue durability. In this study, the structural analysis of boots was conducted. The results showed the deformation patterns of the boots based on the translation and rotation of the constant velocity joint. Moreover, it confirmed the location that was vulnerable to deformation. This study can be used to potentially design high-quality constant velocity joint boots.

An automatic guidance system based upon two position-measurement systems was designed to record where the tractor traveled and to guide the tractor along the predetermined path. An algorithm, using the kinematic behavior of tractor movement, was developed to determine the steering angle to reduce lateral position error. The algorithm was based upon constant travel speed, constant steering rate, and zero slip angles of the tractor wheels. The algorithm was evaluated through use of computer simulation and verified in field experiments. Results showed that the distance interval between position measurements was an important factor in guidance system performance. The position-measurement error of the guidance system must be less than 5 cm to be acceptably precise for field operations. An algorithm based upon a variable steering rate might improve the stability of the guidance system. More accurate measurement of tractor position and yaw angle, and faster error processing are required to improve the field performance of the guidance system.

This study has been carried out in order to improve the rolling problem by enhancing steering stability compared to the 2021 Student Car of the KNUT_EV team for KSAE. Among the various factors affecting steering performances, it was focused on the height of the centroid of weight, the motion ratio, and the spring deflection. In the 2022 Car, a pull rod suspension was used to reduce the height of the centroid of weight and designed with a structure of the rod and rocker to satisfy the target motion ratio. The spring deflection was testified by ADAMS and ABAQUS analysis, and the spring stiffness was selected at 350lb/inch and 450lb/inch for the front and rear wheels, respectively. As a result, the rolling angle of the 2022 Car was reduced compared to the 2021 Car, and the rolling phenomenon was improved.
