In this research the Co-simulation technique for an electric power steering system with MATLAB/SIMULINK and a full vehicle model with ADAMS has been developed. The dynamic responses of vehicle chassis and steering system are evaluated. Then, a full vehicle model interacted with EPS control is concurrently simulated with an impulsive steering wheel torque input to analyze the stability of 'free control' or hands free motion for Sports Utility Vehicle. This integrated method allows engineers to reduce the prototype testing cost and to shorten the developing period.

Multi-agent systems often need to achieve the goal of learning more effectively for a task through coordination. Although the introduction of deep learning has addressed the state space problems, multi-agent learning remains infeasible because of the joint action spaces. Large-scale joint action spaces can be sparse according to implicit or explicit coordination structure, which can ensure reasonable coordination action through the coordination structure. In general, the multi-agent system is dynamic, which makes the relations among agents and the coordination structure are dynamic. Therefore, the explicit coordination structure can better represent the coordinative relationship among agents and achieve better coordination between agents. Inspired by the maximization of social group utility, we dynamically construct a factor graph as an explicit coordination structure to express the coordinative relationship according to the utility among agents and estimate the joint action values based on the local utility transfer among factor graphs. We present the application of such techniques in the scenario of multiple intelligent vehicle systems, where state space and action space are a problem and have too many interactions among agents. The results on the multiple intelligent vehicle systems demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed methods.

Since 2000, sports utility vehicles(SUVs) occupy about 40% of domestic vehicle sales. As sports utility vehicle sales are increased the probability of crash accident between SUVs and passenger vehicles increases. Generally, SUVs are heavier than passenger vehicles and their drive height and front end stillness are higher than passenger vehicles. Because of these characteristics SUVs cause more severe injury and fatal injury in SUV to passenger vehicle head-on impact. To evaluate SUV's aggessivity to passenger vehicle, we carried out SUV to passenger vehicle head-on crash test. And finally the way how to reduce incompatibility between SUVs and passenger vehicles is suggested.

본 논문에서는 배터리를 사용하는 유틸리티 차량용 컨트롤러 개발과 태양광 발전을 병행하여 차량의 운행시간을 보완하였다. 유틸리티 차량용 컨트롤러는 다른 컨트롤러와 호환성을 유지하고 저가격, 고성능을 위해 마이크로 프로세서를 이용하여 속도센서와 전류센서를 사용하지 않고 타여자 직류 전동기를 제어하였다. 태양광발전을 위해 DC-DC 컨버터를 이용하여 태양전지의 최대 전력점 추종 제어(MPPT)와 출력전류를 제어하여 태양전지와 배터리를 병렬운전하였다. 시스템의 타당성을 모의실험과 시제품의 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

The growing concern surrounding rollover incidences and consequences of Sports Utility Vehicles(SUV) have prompted to investigate the sensitivity of critical vehicle parameters on rollover. In this paper, dynamic rollover simulation of Sports Utility Vehicles is carried out using a validated nonlinear vehicle model in Matlab/Simulink. A standard model is considered and critical vehicle parameters like CG height, track width and wheel base are varied within chosen specified limits to study its influence on roll behavior during a Fishhook steering maneuver. A roll stability criterion based on Two Wheel Lift Off(TWLO) phenomenon is adopted for rollover propensity prediction. Further dynamic rollover characteristics of the vehicle are correlated with Static Stability Factor(SSF), Roll Stability Factor(RSF) and Two Wheel Lift Off Velocity(TWLV). These findings will be of immense help to SUV chassis designers to determine safety limits of critical vehicle parameters and minimize rollover incidences.

Elastomers, which are used engine mounts and body mount rubbers, are traditionally designed for NVH use in vehicles, and for vibration isolation in specific frequency range. According to the measurement of the characteristics of the SUV's engine mounts, there are variability in same engine mount properties. Static and dynamic stiffness of the SUV's engine mounts are changed due to the driving miles accumulated. The pre-load of body mount rubbers are changed due to the empty vehicle weight, passenger's weight and gross vehicle weight. And the dynamic stiffness of body mount rubbers are changed very hard above 150Hz frequency range.

현재 자동차의 변화를 이끄는 흐름에서 가장 핵심이 되고 있는 유형 Sport Utility Vehicle은 전천후 기동성 측면과 Sports성을 중심적인 특성으로 다루고 있다. 그러나 SUV로서 off road 중심의 공간 활용 보다는 실내 공간 중심의 활용이 더욱 중요한 특성으로 자리잡고 있다. 이러한 경향은 주 5일 근무 정착에 따른 여가 시간의 증가와 아울러 보다 다양한 직업과 생활 패턴 등에 따라 더욱 두드러질 것으로 보인다. 이러한 근 미래 변화에 대응하는 방법으로 기존의 SUV type에서 탈피하여 sports성을 반영하는 동시에 보다 utility적 활용 중심의 특성을 가지는 XUV (eXtreme Utility Vehicle)라는 새로운 유형을 2010년 시점의 근 미래 테크놀러지와 조형성의 동향 예측, 사용자 요구점 분석 포지셔닝 등을 통해 제안한다.

도로 주행중 제공된 교통정보는 운전자의 단기기억에 저장되고 이는 수초가 지나면 기억에서 사라진다. 정보제공의 효과 평가시 더미변수를 이용하는 기존방법으로는 이러한 현상을 반영할 수 없는 한계가 있다. 보다 적절한 평가를 위해서, 본 연구는 전방 시야가 제약된 도심 신호교차로 접근로에서 실시한 주행실험 자료를 토대로 운전자의 단기기억을 고려한 차내 교통안전정보의 효용함수 특성화와 안전도 평가방법론을 제안한다. 이를 위해서, 운전자의 속도선택에 기초한 주행 안정성 평가모형을 순서 프로빗모형으로 개발하고, 교통운영, 기하구조, 도로환경, 운전자 요소를 동시에 고려하여 차내 교통안전정보의 효용함수를 추정하였다. 분석결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 차내 교통안전정보의 효용을 설명하는데 정규밀도 함수(지수함수)가 적합하고, 효용은 약 22초 동안 유지되며, 크기는 시간증가에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 차내 실시간 교통안전정보의 중요도는 교통운영요소 보다는 낮고 기하구조요소 보다는 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

Many researches and projects are actively implemented in the academic world and industrial world in order to increase the productivity through changing utility layout. Effective layout makes the flow of parts and products go on wheels and helps labor forces and utilities to be used efficiently. In this study, we looked at effect on utility layout change through a case of a company making a fuel tank of vehicle in Korea. Due to the layout improvement, this company could have flowshop system on welding line, so the stock in line was decreased, checking the number of stock became easier than before and it was possible to evaluate exact cycle time per unit. Through not only confirming qualitative effect, but also checking quantitative effect such as UPH(Unit per Hour), we obtained the conclusion that the layout improvement increased the productivity.

Electric vehicles (EV) are emerging as the future transportation vehicle reflecting their potential safe environmental advantages. Vehicle to Grid (V2G) system describes the hybrid system in which the EV can communicate with the utility grid and the energy flows with insignificant effect between the utility grid and the EV. The paper presents an optimal power control and energy management strategy for Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) charging stations using Wind-PV-FC-Battery renewable energy sources. The energy management optimization is structured and solved using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) to determine and distribute at each time step the charging power among all accessible vehicles. The Model-Based Predictive (MPC) control strategy is used to plan PEV charging energy to increase the utilization of the wind, the FC and solar energy, decrease power taken from the power grid, and fulfil the charging power requirement of all vehicles. Desired features for EV battery chargers such as the near unity power factor with negligible harmonics for the ac source, well-regulated charging current for the battery, maximum output power, high efficiency, and high reliability are fully confirmed by the proposed solution.
