As many systems depend on electronics, concern for fault tolerance is growing rapidly. For example, a car with its steering controlled by electronics and no mechanical linkage from steering wheel to front tires (steer-by-wire) should be fault tolerant because a failure can come without any warning and its effect is devastating. In order to make system fault tolerant, there has been a body of research mainly from aerospace field. This paper presents the structure of predictive hybrid redundancy that can remove most erroneous values. In addition, several numerical simulation results are given where the predictive hybrid redundancy outperforms wellknown average and median voters.

As vehicles become more intelligent this is focused on ways to enhance safety and convenience for both drivers and passengers. In particular, x-by-wire systems that replace rigid mechanical components with dynamically configurable electronic elements are being developed to expand intelligent functions, such as adaptive cruise control or lane departure warning system. Because the malfunction of safety-related modules controlling critical functions, such as brakes, throttle, and steering in x-by-wire systems, can cause injury or death, safety and reliability are the most critical issue for automotive vendors and parts manufacturers. In an effort to develop better and effective brake-by-wire system, this paper presents EMB system by using the low speed electric vehicle, which is not required large braking force, with motor controller. In addition, we design performance evaluation system of EMB with 1/4 low speed electric vehicle model and suggested EMB is evaluated through the performance evaluation system.

To address the wire complexity problem in large-scale globally asynchronous, locally synchronous systems, a current-mode ternary encoding scheme was devised for a two-phase asynchronous protocol. However, for data transmission through a very long wire, few studies have been conducted on reducing the long propagation delay in current-mode circuits. Hence, this paper proposes a current steering logic (CSL) that is able to minimize the long delay for the devised current-mode ternary encoding scheme. The CSL creates pulse signals that charge or discharge the output signal in advance for a short period of time, and as a result, helps prevent a slack in the current signals. The encoder and decoder circuits employing the CSL are implemented using $0.25-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The results of an HSPICE simulation show that the normal and optimal mode operations of the CSL achieve a delay reduction of 11.8% and 28.1%, respectively, when compared to the original scheme for a 10-mm wire. They also reduce the power-delay product by 9.6% and 22.5%, respectively, at a data rate of 100 Mb/s for the same wire length.

본 논문은 6 륜 독립구동/독립조향 차량의 독립 스티어-바이-와이어 장치의 고장 안전 주행 제어방법을 제시하였다. 조향부 고장 휠의 횡방향 타이어 힘이 차량 선회 운동에 저항력으로 작용할 수 있으므로, 이를 줄이기 위하여 본 고장 안전 주행 제어 알고리즘은 조향부 고장 휠에 높은 슬립률이 발생하도록 토크 입력을 가한다. 고슬립으로 인한 조향부 고장 휠의 종방향 타이어 힘 증가를 고려하기 위하여 종방향 타이어 힘을 추정하여 고장나지 않은 휠의 구동력 최적 분배에 구속 조건에 포함시킨다. 개루프 조향 및 폐루프 조향 시뮬레이션 결과 조향부 고장이 발생한 차량의 주행시 고장을 고려하지 않은 최적 구동력 분배 제어에 비하여 본 알고리즘 적용시 차량의 주행 성능이 보정됨을 확인하였다.

Reliability and safety of steer-by-wire concepts can be achieved by redundant designs. This paper discusses the design of a fault tolerant concept for a force feedback actuator with a standard three-phase PMSM. In contrast to usual drives, the phases of the machine are separated electrically. This design allows driving the machine with two instead of three phases in case of a fault. A superimposed torque controller adjusts the influence of fault currents and torque harmonics in two-phase operation and guarantees smooth torque at the steering wheel

본 논문은 전자제어식 조향 및 제동 장치를 장착한 차량에 대해 고장 안전 기능을 가지는 통합 섀시 제어 시스템을 제안한다. 통합 섀시 제어 시스템에서 상위 제어기는 슬라이딩 모드 제어 이론을 이용하여 제어 요모멘트를 만들어 낸다. 하위 제어기는 가중 의사-역행렬 기반 제어 분배 방법(WPCA)으로 제어 요모멘트를 전자제어식 조향 및 제동 장치의 타이어 힘으로 분배한다. WPCA 의 가변 가중치를 조절하여 구동기 혹은 센서의 고장에 대처할 수 있다. 이러한 상황에서 WPCA 방법으로 가변 가중치를 최적화하여 요모멘트 분배 성능을 향상시키기 위해 시뮬레이션을 이용한 최적화 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 차량 시뮬레이션 패키지인 CarSim 에서 시뮬레이션을 수행한다.

In this study, an integrated motor control algorithm for an in-wheel electric vehicle is suggested. It consists of slip control that controls the in-wheel motor torque using the road friction coefficient and slip ratio; yaw rate control that controls the in-wheel motor torque according to the road friction coefficient and the yaw rate error; and velocity control that controls the vehicle velocity by a weight factor based on the road friction coefficient and the yaw rate error. A co-simulator was developed, which combined the vehicle performance simulator based on MATLAB/Simulink and the vehicle model of CarSim. Based on the co-simulator, a human-in-the-loop simulation environment was constructed, in which a driver can directly control the steering wheel, the accelerator pedal, and the brake pedal in real time. The performance of the integrated motor control algorithm for the in-wheel electric vehicle was evaluated through human-in-the-loop simulations.

전 세계적으로 차량의 급속한 증가로 인해 지능형 교통시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있다. 그중 차량의 자율주행에 관한 연구가 한 분야를 차지한다. 그리고 차량의 자율주행은 경로인식이 기본적인 요소이다. 기존의 자계기반 자율주행 시스템은 3축 자계 센서로 자석마커의 3차원의 데이터를 분석하여 경로를 인식하였다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 Magnetic Wire와 자기거리계를 이용하여 측면 이탈거리를 계측하여 주행하는 시스템을 제안한다. 그리고 기존 자율주행 차량의 시스템과 비교하고 제안하는 시스템이 저사양의 하드웨어와 간단한 알고리즘으로 자율주행이 가능함을 실험을 통해 검증하고자 한다.

Lanekeeping assistance has the potential to save thousands of lives every year by preventing accidental road departure. This paper presents experimental validation of a potential field lanekeeping assistance system with quantitative performance guarantees. The lanekeeping system is implemented on a 1997 Corvette modified for steer-by-wire capability. With no mechanical connection between the hand wheel and road wheels the lanekeeping system can add steering inputs independently from the driver. Implementation of the lanekeeping system uses a novel combination of a multi-antenna Global Positioning System (GPS) and precision road maps. Preliminary experimental data shows that this control scheme performs extremely well for driver assistance and closely matches simulation results, verifying previous theoretical guarantees for safety. These results also motivate future work which will focus on interaction with the driver.
