In this paper, a full vehicle model is developed to analyze toe and camber changes due to rack height variation and compliance. The AutoDyn7 program developed in G7 project is used for the computer simulation. Steady state cornering test was done to find the understeer gradient. Imposing a pulse steer input, Frequency Response Function(FRF) of yaw rate and lateral accelerations were evaluated. To verify the stability, the rhombus using four parameters is employed. Steer characteristics were evaluated by changing the rack height and the bushing lateral stiffiness. which installed between the low control arm and the chassis.

Vehicle dynamic models in handing and stability analysis are divided into three groups: bicycle model, roll axis model and full vehicle model. Bicycle model is a simple linear model, which hag two wheels with load transfer being ignored. Roll axis model treats left and right wheels independently. In this model, load transfer has a great effect on nonlinearity of tire model. Effects of suspension system can be analyzed by using full vehicle model, which is included suspension stroke motions. In this paper, these models are validated and compared through comparison with road test, and the effects of suspension kinematics and compliance characteristics on vehicle motion are analyzed. In handling and stability analysis, roll axis model can simulate the real vehicle motion more accurately than full vehicle model. Compliance steer has a significant effect, but the effect of suspension kinematics is negligible.

This paper propose an advanced control strategy to improve vehicle handling and directional stability by integrating Active Front Steering(AFS) with Electronic Stability Program(ESP) . The effect of the integrated control system on the vehicle handling characteristics and directional stability is studied through a close loop computer simulation of and eight degree of freedom nonlinear vehicle model and driver model. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control system and the overall improvements in vehicle handling and directional stability

Vehicle suspension systems are parts which effect performances of a vehicle such as ride quality, handing characteristics, straight performance and steering effort etc. Kinematic design is a decision of joints` position for straight performance and steering effort. But, when vehicle is rebounding and bumping, chang of joints` displacement is nonlinear and a surmise of straight performance and steering effort at that joints` position is difficult. So design of suspension systems is done through a inefficient method of tried-and-error depending on designer`s experience. In this paper, kinematic design of suspension systems was done through the optimal design using a genetic algorithm. For this optimal design, the function for quantification of straight performance and steering effort was made, and the kinematic design method of suspension systems having this function as the objective function was suggested.

Four wheel steering(4WS) systems which can control the lateral and yaw motions of vehicles by steering front and rear wheels simultaneously, have been regarded as effective for improving the stability and handing performance of vehicles. However, since the 4WS systems depend only on the lateral force of tire, they have some limitation due to the nonlinear characteristics of tire related with the saturation phenomenon of lateral force to the slip angle of tire in a near-limit-performance maneuvering range. In this study, in other to evaluate the effect of nonlinear characteristics of tire on the dynamic performance of vehicles, a new concept for driving the cornering stiffness of nonlinear tire by using the "Magic Formula" tire model is proposed. In addition, the nonlinear 4WS vehicle model is constructed based on the proposed cornering stiffness of nonlinear tire. It is noted from simulation that the nonlinear characteristics of tire affect greatly on the 4WS vehicle performance.rformance.

4단계 이전의 자율주행은 반자율주행 단계로 차량이 주행을 하다가 운전자에게 빠르게 제어권을 넘겨야 하는 상황이 반복적으로 벌어진다. 하지만 지금의 자율주행 차량은 제어권을 넘길 때 일괄적으로 간단한 메시지와 경고음만을 사용해 운전자에게 알림을 주고 있어 개개인의 특성에 대한 고려나 다양한 위급 상황에 대한 설명을 제대로 전달하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자율주행 차량의 판단에 대한 시·청각 정보 제공 정도와 운전자의 운전 효능감이 제어권 전환 요청 상황에서 운전자의 판단과 행동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과 제어권 전환 요구 시 제공된 시·청각 정보 조합 방식에 따른 운전자의 인지 부하, 신뢰도, 안전감, 사용성 및 유용성의 설문 항목에서 조건에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 운전자의 운전 효능감에 따라 제어권 전환 상황에서 요청을 전달하는 효율적인 정보 제공 방식이 달라진다는 인사이트를 발견할 수 있었다. 급박한 제어권 전환 상황에서 운전자의 특성을 고려한 요청이 이루어져야 한다는 본 연구의 결과는 보다 안전하고 효율적으로 운전자와 소통할 수 있는 자율주행 차량을 설계하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
