This paper presents a control strategy of 4 wheel drive (4WD) vehicles. Proposed control strategy has simple structure and can easily apply to various vehicles with low cost and time. It is consist of feedforward control for traction ability, fedback control for minimizing the wheel speed difference and yaw control for lateral stability. In addition, to integrate the traction and stability control, a blending function is applied. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed control strategy, actual vehicle experiment is conducted after deciding the tuning parameter through the simulation. The simulation is accomplished by CarSim and Matlab/Simulink and the actual vehicle test is conducted using full size Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) equipped rear wheel based solenoid type 4WD device.

In order to enhance the driveability of multi-wheel-drive electric vehicle fitted with a traction control system a traction control algorithm is proposed. Numerical computations show that the driveability could be considerably enhanced with respect to that of equivalent torque distribution vehicle.

PWM inverter-fed traction motor is able to occur problems by additive transient surge stress and harmonic loss in contrast with motor driven by 60Hz sine wave alternating source. Therefore in this paper, test method and standard of existed already were investigate, "thermal + electric" complex degradation test that considered additive degradation occurred by inverter drive carried out in order to obtain insulation reliability of traction motor driven by inverter. It seems that this test method confers large value of application at reliability estimation which the subject of complete motor not windings sample from now on.

This paper presents the design of in-wheel type Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) which can be used as both traction motor and power pickup device in a wireless charging system of electric vehicles. The SRM acts as a traction drive in driving mode and a power receiver in charging mode to avoid any additional weights. Double stator axial field SRM is used due to its structure that can be mounted inside the wheel. The charging circuit is integrated with the asymmetric converter and phase windings of SRM, reducing the cost and size of the system. Magnetic resonance is implemented to increase the efficiency. Simulations done in Maxwell and Simplorer verify the effectiveness of the proposed system.

This paper presents an application of vector control strategy for 1.2MVA IGBT traction drive for electric railway vehicle. The vector control requires the control of the phase and amplitude of output voltage vector[5]. But in case of traction system far railway vehicle, the one-pulse mode is used in order to utilize the link voltage fully[8]. So it is impossible to control the flux axis current and the torque axis current instantaneously and independently. So this paper proposes the vector control strategy with slip-frequency control at one-pulse mode. And precise switching technique between the two different control structures has been proposed. And the strategy was verified by experimental result with 1.2MVA IGBT inverter with four 210㎾ induction motors.

An inverter-driven induction motor is used as the traction motor for a high speed drive system that required safty, reliability and performance and so on. rotor bar and end ring of the traction motor are the electrical equipments which form the conductive close loop and then induce current by interaction wi th the current of stator. the materials selection of rotor bar and end ring are seriously considered in the aspects of electrical and mechanical specification and Motor slip relation to inverter. Particularly motor slip guarantee the safty and reliability of induction motor. this paper show the material selection and the determining of slip in the design of traction motor for high speed train by analyzing the specifications of material being used currently.

An inverter-driven induction motor is used as the traction motor for a high speed drive system that required safety, reliabillity, performance, compact size owing to the space and weight alloted for attaching to train, etc. particularly it is possible to happen the saturation effects of flux density at constant voltage-frequency region and then increase very higher than the at lowed capacity of no-load current and temperature in any case. therefore the optimum design of core, optimum voltage-frequency ratio, adoption of high grade magnetic core have been developed and researched for preventing these problems. this paper show the saturation effects of traction rotor by measuring the induced voltage of search coil at stator teeth and presents optimum voltage-frequency ratio as well as optimum core design through the comparison with efficiency, power factor, load current and no-load current for korea high speed train.

Two different designs of permanent magnet motors as direct wheel-set drive for the German high speed train ICE 3 are designed, one with surface mounted magnets (SM) and one with buried rotor magnets (BM). The surface magnet motor has $17\%$ less mass and a slightly higher efficiency and was therefore chosen for further investigations. Compared with the conventional drive system of the ICE 3, consisting of geared inverter fed induction machines, the gearless permanent magnet direct drive yields about $16\%$ lower losses. This calculation is based on the route parameters of the high speed track between Frankfurt/Main and Cologne in Germany, which is currently under construction.

Test of Caterpillar Challenger 65 tractor which has rubber tracks, and articulated four wheel drive tractor with dual wheels and a mechanical front wheel drive tractor were conducted on an unplowed and plouwed wheat stubble field. The following parameters were analyzed : tractive efficiency (ηv), net tractive coefficient ($\phi$n), slip ($\sigma$) , drawbar pull(Fv), drawbar power (Pv) and forward velocity(v). The maximum net tractive coefficient was established at the tractive efficiency of 0.60 on the unplowed wheat stubble field : for the Challenger 65 tractor 0.855 ; 4WD 0.624 and MFWD 0.534 and on the plowed wheat stubble field with the tractive efficiency of 0.40 for the Challenger 65 tractor 0.82 : 4WD 0.57 and for tractor MFWD 0.48.

Currently it is major problem of electric railway with increasing drive speed such as the arc generated by the pantograph detachment and the distortion current in the motor-block high speed switching. When physical contact between the pantograph and the catenary line is separated, the pantograph detachment arcing occurs and it makes up the conductive noise to the return feeder. We made the EMTP modeling of the railway traction system and the pantograph arc by circuit elements and switches. The influence of pantograph detachment frequency is investigated by changing some frequencies. The over-current occurs in each detachment and it oscillates some time at beginning and stabilizes gradually. The magnitude of over-current is decided by instantaneous value of existing traction return current. If the detachment occurs at a point of peak value or distortion current, the over-current will be more harmful to the power systems connected with the return feeder and will become to arise with increasing detachment frequency.
