In this paper, an electric vehicle drives with efficient control and low cost hardware using four quadrant DC converter with Permanent Magnet Direct Current (PMDC) motor fed by DC boost converter is presented. The main idea of this work is to improve the energy efficiency of the conversion chain of an electric vehicle by inserting a boost converter between the battery and the four quadrant-DC motor chopper assembly. Consequently, this method makes it possible to maintain the amplification gain of the 4 quadrant chopper constant regardless of the battery voltage drop and even in the presence of a fault in the battery. One of the most important control problems is control under heavy uncertainty conditions. The higher order sliding mode control technique is introduced for the adjustment of DC bus voltage and mechanical motor speed. To implement the proposed approach in the automotive field, experimental tests were carried out. The performances obtained show the usefulness of this system for a better energy management of an electric vehicle and an ideal control under different operating conditions and constraints, mostly at nominal operation, in the presence of a load torque, when reversing the direction of rotation of the motor speed and even in case of battery chamber failure. The whole system has been tested experimentally and its performance has been analyzed.

도시철도 운영기관은 전동차의 설계수명이 도래하기 전에 신규차량 도입 시기를 결정해야 한다. 최근 널리 활용되고 있는 생애주기비용(LCC; Life Cycle Cost) 연구는 현재 운행 중인 분석대상 전동차에 직접적으로 소요되는 비용만을 고려하며 신규차량 도입으로 인한 유지보수비용의 절감효과, 사회적비용 등을 고려하지 않아 신규차량 구매 시기에 따른 비용을 종합적으로 판단하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 LCC에서 활용되는 비용과 노후화에 따른 고장 및 안전사고로 인한 운영기관의 부대비용, 피해승객의 사회적 비용을 포함하고, 신규차량의 구매 시기에 따른 대안별 비용분석, 할인율 변화에 따른 민감도를 분석하였다. 세월호 사고 이후 안전사고에 대한 국민적 경각심이 높은 점을 감안할 때 차량 도입 시기에 대한 의사결정 과정에서 부대비용과 사회적비용을 함께 고려할 필요가 있으며, 본 연구결과 이러한 비용의 포함여부 및 할인율에 따라 대안의 경제적 우선순위가 변동될 수 있음을 보여주었다. 이는 향후 차량수급 중장기 경영계획 수립을 위한 의사결정에 큰 시사점을 줄 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a simple and cost-effective stand-alone rapid battery charging system of 30kW for electric vehicles. The proposed system mainly consists of active front-end rectifier of neutral point clamped 3-level type and non-isolated bi-directional dc-dc converter of multi-phase interleaved half-bridge topology with coupled inductors. The charging system is designed to operate for both lithium-polymer and lithium-ion batteries. The complete charging sequence is made up of three sub-interval operating modes; pre-charging mode, constant-current mode, and constant-voltage mode. The pre-charging mode employs the staircase shaped current profile to accomplish shorter charging time while maintaining the reliable operation of the battery. The proposed system is able to reach the full-charge state within less than 16min for the battery capacity of 8kWh by supplying the charging current of 67A. The optimal discharging algorithm for Vehicle to the Grid (V2G) operation has been adopted to maintain the discharging current of 1C. Owing to the simple and compact power conversion scheme, the proposed solution has superior module-friendly mechanical structure which is absolutely required to realize flexible power expansion capability in a very high-current rapid charging system.

At the present time, container transportation plays a key role in the international logistics and the efforts to increase the productivity of container logistics become essential for Korean trucking companies to survive in the domestic as well as global competition. This study suggests an approach for determining fleet size for container road transportation with dynamic demand. Usually the vehicles operated by the transportation trucking companies in Korea can be classified into three types depending on the ways how their expenses occur; company-owned truck, mandated truck which is owned by outsider who entrust the company with its operation, and rented vehicle (outsourcing). Annually the trucking companies should decide how many company-owned and mandated trucks will be operated considering vehicle types and the transportation demands. With the forecasted monthly data for the volume of containers to be transported a year, a heuristic algorithm using tabu search is developed to determine the number of company-owned trucks, mandated trucks, and rented trucks in order to minimize the expected annual operating cost. The idea of the algorithm is based on both the aggregate production planning (APP) and the pickup-and-delivery problem (PDP). Finally the algorithm is tested for the problem how the trucking company determines the fleet size for transporting containers.

LCC can be defined as "the sum of present values of investment costs, capital costs, installation costs, energy costs, operating costs, maintenance costs, and disposal costs over the life-time of the project, product, or measure." LCCA involves estimating the costs and timing associated with each alternative over a selected analysis period and conversion of those costs to economically comparable values considering the time-value of money. The several Excel-Based LCC tools found on the internet are described in this paper. Also, This paper performed an analysis of the existing LCC commercial tools, assessing various aspects of each program. The goal was to evaluate the best features of each tool and to identify the requirements for LCC evaluation of Urban Transit Vehicle. The LCC tools are developed to address problems in many different areas and a tool developed and structured for one area cannot generally be used in another area. No general LCC tool exists and if one is needed for Urban Transit Vehicle it has to be developed by the project. Since a full LCC can be very complex it is likely that this Excel-Based LCC tool should be a small and simple tool for quick cost estimates. This paper presents a LCC tool consisting of eight excel sheets, which are "Project", "CBS", "PBS", "PM", "CM", "Others", "LCC Result" and "Diagram".

The charging system is designed to operate for both lithium-polymer and lithium-ion batteries. The complete charging sequence is made up of three sub-interval operating modes; pre-charging mode, constant-current mode, and constant-voltage mode. Each mode is operated according to battery states: voltage, current and State of Charging (SOC). The proposed system is able to reach the full-charge state within less than 16min for the battery capacity of 8kWh by supplying the charging current of 67A. The optimal discharging algorithm for Vehicle to the Grid (V2G) operation has been adopted to maintain the discharging current of 1C. Owing to the simple and compact power conversion scheme, the proposed solution has superior module-friendly mechanical structure which is absolutely required to realize flexible power expansion capability in a very high-current rapid charging system. Experiment waveforms confirm the proposed functionality of the charging system.

도로교통 분야에서 제시되는 다양한 정책들과 운영전략들을 평가하기 위해 사용해 오던 지금까지의 자료와 방법으로는 실제 도로에서 주행하고 있는 많은 차량들의 연료소모량을 정확하게 측정하기에는 불가능한 것이 현실이다. 특히 차량의 연료소모량은 속도뿐만 아니라 가속도에도 밀접한 관련이 있음에도 불구하고 현재의 방법으로는 가속도를 포함한 차량의 미시적 주행패턴을 고려하지 못하고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 교통운영전략과 차량운행비용의 연료소모량 변화에 대한 보다 정확한 효과를 평가할 수 있도록, 차량의 속도와 가속도를 고려한 차량 연료소모량 관계식을 산정하고자 한다. 차량시뮬레이션 프로그램인 AVL Cruise를 이용하여 차량의 속도 및 가속도에 따른 연료소모량 원단위를 산출하고, 이러한 결과를 이용하여 시뮬레이션이나 차량운행비용 추정에 적용할 수 있는 차량 연료소모량 관계식을 산정하였다. 마지막으로 이렇게 도출된 본 연구의 차량 연료소모량 관계식과 기존 연료소모량 관계식을 비교하였다. 분석결과, 교통운영전략의 효과 평가 시 기존 연료소모량 관계식에 비해 주행패턴에서 발생하는 가속도 변화를 고려한 본 연구의 연료소모량 관계식이 보다 현실적으로 연료소모량을 산정할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Satellite and aerial remote sensing (RS) techniques have been provided to collect spatial data globally over the last few decades. However in developing countries such as China, there is still an urgent need for low cost and high resolution RS data. As an emerging RS platform, commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) integrated with state-of-the-art sensors and information technologies has the potential to become a low cost tool to meet application demands. In this paper, the architecture of UAV RS operation system is mentioned. Moreover, key technologies in UAV RS system are analyzed and current work is reported.
