A difference in subgrade settlement between two rails of a track manifests as lateral differential subgrade settlement. This settlement causes unsteadiness in the motion of trains passing through the corresponding area. To illustrate the effect of lateral differential subgrade settlement on the dynamic response of a vehicle-track coupling system, a three-dimensional vehicle-track-subgrade coupling model was formulated by combining the vehicle-track dynamics theory and the finite element method. The wheel/rail force, car body acceleration, and derailment factor are chosen as evaluation indices of the system dynamic response. The effects of the amplitude and wavelength of lateral differential subgrade settlement as well as the driving speed of the vehicle are analyzed. The study reveals the following: The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system generally increase linearly with the driving speed when the train passes through a lateral subgrade settlement area. The wheel/rail force acting on a rail with a large settlement exceeds that on a rail with a small settlement. The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system increase with the amplitude of the lateral differential subgrade settlement. For a 250-km/h train speed, the proposed maximum amplitude for a lateral differential settlement with a wavelength of 20 m is 10 mm. The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system decrease with an increase in the wavelength of the lateral differential subgrade settlement. To achieve a good operation quality of a train at a 250-km/h driving speed, the wavelength of a lateral differential subgrade settlement with an amplitude of 20 mm should not be less than 15 m. Monitoring lateral differential settlements should be given more emphasis in routine high-speed railway maintenance and repairs.

국도 및 고속도로에 기 설치된 AVC System은 두 개의 Piezo Sensor를 평행 하게 설치하여 차량의 축수,축간거리, Front hang 등의 정보를 취득한다. 이러한 시스템은 두 개의 Piezo 신호만을 분석하여 사용하기 때문에 차량의 편향 주행등과 같은 주행패턴이나 센서 이상 등에 능동적으로 대처하기 힘들다. 차종의 분류성능 개선을 위해 제3의 센서인 사선 센서를 도입하여 3-sensor AVC 구동 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 본 알고리즘은 차량의 유거 및 윤폭정보를 기존의 정보 스키마에 추가함으로써 취득된 차종분류 정보 오분류를 획기적으로 줄일 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 이론적 알고리즘을 현장에 적용하여 실질적인 개선 효과가 있음을 증명할 수 있었다.

최근 들어, 차량 제어 기술의 집약체라 할 수 있는 자율 주행 차량에 관한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 특히, 자율 주행 차량의 안정적인 주행과 직결되는 자기 위치 인식 기술에 관한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되어져 왔으며, GPS가 갖는 한계점을 보완하기 위한 다양한 추측항법 기술이 소개되어져왔다. 하지만 기존의 추측항법들은 추가적으로 센서를 장착해야하는 단점과 차량 거동의 급격한 변화로 인하여 자기 위치 인식 정확도가 떨어진다는 단점을 가진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 추측항법의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 대부분의 차량에 장착되어 있는 휠속 센서(Wheel Speed Sensor)를 활용하고, 휠속 센서에서 계측된 값을 토대로 타이어 슬립율(Slip ratio)을 추정하여 차량의 급격한 거동 변화에 대응하기 위한 새로운 개념의 슬립율 기반의 추측항법 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 기존의 추측항법 알고리즘과의 성능을 비교 평가하기 위해서 차량의 거동이 급격하게 변화하는 상황이 포함된 시뮬레이션 환경을 구성하여 그 결과를 비교하였다.

The spring constant and damping coefficient are vital factors of ride comfort and driving stability in the vibration of the vehicle which is mainly induced by a variety of the surface irregularity. This paper reviewed the optimum condition of the damping factor derived from the typical model of two mass-two degrees of freedom. Through the evaluation and discussion, it was presented that the spring of the torsion bar type was not effective for the driving stability in the large displacement of the wheel, and also that the damper with progressive performance has to be fundamentally selected to meet the requirement of the driving suability when this kind of spring is used as a suspension system of the vehicle.

Recently, the popularization of personal mobility(PM) has made it possible to see many electric scooters. The energy source of personal transportation used by the general public and the disabled can be seen as environmentally friendly as electricity. Personal transportation means are divided into small electric vehicles because they use electric energy, and they are being treated as new models by automobile manufacturers in each country and spurring development. On the other hand, personal transportation means may cause various types of traffic accidents as they travel between roads and a human walk. In order to prevent such accidents, it is judged that the enactment of laws on the establishment of specifications for electric scooters, which are personal transportation means, and the method of restricting road operation should be given priority. The electric scooter is basically different from the conventional vehicle. The steering shaft of the steering system applied to the electric scooter one to two is possible. 1 to 2 the front-wheel under the steering column is used. It is classified according to the number of wheel installed at the electric scooter is the vehicle body into 2 wheel - electric scooter, and 3 wheel - electric scooter and 4 wheel - electric scooter. In this study, we propose a steering shaft design model that can be applied to an electric scooter, one of personal transportation means. A design model for 1-shaft steering and 2-shafts steering that can be applied to electric scooters is proposed. In addition, we have produced the prototypes for the commercialization of the proposed models, and reviewed the pros and cons of the manufactured prototypes and models.

A military vehicle is driven at different usage modes with the army application and servicing conditions. For practical durability validation, DT(Development Test) on a new military vehicle should be run up to the durability target kilometers on test courses in the specified proving ground. Driving velocities with test courses at the endurance mode of DT are established definitely. However, OT(Operational Test) and initial endurance test of production car can't be performed only in the DT courses due to the development period limit. Therefore, this paper focuses on the method to analyze the relative road damages between the endurance test in DT and other endurance test. Road load acquisition tests on KLTV(Korean Light Tactical Vehicle) were implemented at 15 driving modes in off-road and cross-country courses of two tests. Wheel accelerations were processed through band-pass filter, and then the main frequency and maximum power of the signals were computed by PSD analysis. Finally, using the proving ground optimization based on RDS(Relative Damage Spectrum) characterization, the damage factors between off-roads of test courses were determined.

A numerical model and a controller of Active Front wheel Steer (AFS) system are designed in this study. The AFS model consists of four sub models, and the AFS controller uses sliding mode control and PID control methods. To test this model and controller an Integrated Dynamics Control with Steering (IDCS) system is also designed. The IDCS system integrates an AFS system and an ARS (Active Rear wheel Steering) system. The AFS controller and IDCS controller are compared under several driving and road conditions. An 8 degree of freedom vehicle model is also employed to test the controllers. The results show that the model of AFS system shows good kinematic steering assistance function. Steering ratio varies depends on vehicle velocity between 12 and 24. Kinematic stabilization function also shows good performance because yaw rate of AFS vehicle tracks the reference yaw rate. IDCS shows improved responses compared to AFS because body side slip angle is also reduced. This result also proves that AFS system shows satisfactory result when it is integrated with another chassis system. On a split-m road, two controllers forced the vehicle to proceed straight ahead.

회전체는 질량 중심선이 축의 기하학적 중심선과 일치하지 않을 때 불평형이 발생한다. 윤축은 두 개의 차륜과 한 개의 차축으로 조립되어 철도차량을 주행시키는 회전체 역할을 하고, 차륜 재질의 불균일, 마모, 윤축 조립과정의 오차 등으로 인해 불평형이 발생할 수 있다. 또한 윤축은 축의 직경이 가늘고 고속으로 회전함으로 불평형 질량에 의한 진동의 영향이 더욱 두드러지게 나타나고 이로 인해 철도차량 고속 주행 시 주행안전성 및 주행거동에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 차륜 불평형이 고속철도차량의 동적 거동에 미치는 영향을 철도차량 다물체 동역학 해석 도구인 VI-Rail를 이용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과에서 차륜 불평형량이 증가할수록 철도차량 대차의 임계속도가 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었고, 차륜 불평형량이 주행 중 차량동적거동 악영향을 미침으로 고속주행에서는 반드시 차륜 불평형량에 대한 관리가 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 이 연구로 차륜 불평형량의 정적 및 동적 관리 필요성을 국내 철도차량 운영기관에 제시하였다.

Noncontactable joystick for a low speed electric vehicle(LSEV) is developed. The joystick is proposed to replaced the steering wheel in a conventional LSEV. The main advantages of the proposed joystick are a durable and a stable in structure, simple and easy to control through discriminating the driving and braking area. To reduce error and stability in the joystick control, input and output signal of the joystick are manipulated by data averaging and differntiation. With this algorithm, the driving resolution and capability are improved. To verify the proposed algorithm, a simple prototype model which has two electric motors for propulsion and steering are used. Test results show that the prototype joystick control system is applicable to an LSEV dirve.

차선유지 제어시스템, 적응식순항 제어시스템과 같은 첨단운전 지원시스템은 기본적으로 차량의 거동 정보를 기반으로 구동되지만, 최근 도로의 기하학적 정보를 추가적으로 활용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 도로의 종단경사는 차량의 가감속 제어 및 항법알고리즘 구현에 있어 필수적인 정보로서 DGPS-RTK와 같은 고가의 장비로 직접 측정하는 방법과 디지털 맵에 저장된 속성정보를 활용하는 방식이 제안되고 있으나, 상용화 관점에서는 아직 많은 문제점이 존재한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 추가 센서의 장착없이 연속형 확장칼만필터를 활용하여 차량의 동특성과 도로종단경사를 효율적으로 추정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 도로종단경사를 포함하는 3자유도 차량동역학 모델과 차량의 내부 네트워크롤 통해 수집할 수 있는 차량의 상태정보를 기반으로 확장칼만필터를 설계하여 차량의 동특성과 도로종단경사를 추정한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 시뮬레이션과 실차실험을 통해 그 성능을 검증하였다.
