This thesis focuses on the design of control schemes for highly efficient BLDC motor drive applications using drives with output capacity of 1Hp. The control system was designed and implemented on a PIC micro-controller and applied to an electric vehicle as a viable replacement to the existing a high phase induction motor that is currently being used for these low cost, small traction drive applications. This paper for the brushless drive research has shown the optimization of the drive system for improved drive design and switching techniques that can improve the entire drive system efficiency for electric vehicle both large and small traction applications using sinusoidal PWM techniques for synthesizing the AC waveforms needed to control these traction drives. In addition, Numerical simulation was conducted to evaluate the performance of designed BLDC Motor using MotorPro simulator.

The Re-Identification(Re-ID) is one of the most popular researches in the field of computer vision due to a variety of applications. To achieve a high-level re-identification performance, recently other methods have developed the deep learning based networks that are specialized for only person or vehicle. However, most of the current methods are difficult to be used in real-world applications that require re-identification of both person and vehicle at the same time. To overcome this limitation, this paper proposes a deep neural network learning method that combines triplet and softmax loss to improve performance and re-identify people and vehicles simultaneously. It's possible to learn the detailed difference between the identities(IDs) by combining the softmax loss with the triplet loss. In addition, weights are devised to avoid bias in one-side loss when combining. We used Market-1501 and DukeMTMC-reID datasets, which are frequently used to evaluate person re-identification experiments. Moreover, the vehicle re-identification experiment was evaluated by using VeRi-776 and VehicleID datasets. Since the proposed method does not designed for a neural network specialized for a specific object, it can re-identify simultaneously both person and vehicle. To demonstrate this, an experiment was performed by using a person and vehicle re-identification dataset together.

Data transmission via the car driver's tethered smart phone may have a volume-dependent billing in case car driver' phone transmits data in real-time to the remote data center. The on-board diagnosis data generated are temporary stored locally to mobile remote diagnosis application on the car driver's phone, and then transmit to the data center later when car driver connects to the Internet. To increase the easiest of using the remote vehicle application without blocking other tasks to be executing on the cloud, node.js stands as a suitable candidate for handling tasks of data storage on the cloud via mobile network. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture by simulating a preliminary case study of an android application responsible of real time analysis by using a vehicle-to- smart phones applications interface approach that considers the smart phones to act as a remote user which passes driver inputs and delivers output from external applications. In this paper, we propose a study on development of Remote Vehicle fault diagnostic system features web server architecture based event loop approach using node.js platform, and wireless communication to handle vehicle diagnostics data to a data center.

Video stabilization is a very important step for vision based applications in the vehicular technology because the accuracy of these applications such as obstacle distance estimation, lane detection and tracking can be affected by bumpy roads and oscillation of vehicle. Conventional methods suffer from either the zooming effect which caused by a camera movement or some motion of surrounding vehicles. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a novel video stabilization method using FOE(Focus of Expansion). When a vehicle moves, optical flow diffuses from the FOE and the FOE is equal to an epipole. If a vehicle moves with vibration, the position of the epipole in the two consecutive frames is changed by oscillation of the vehicle. Therefore, we carry out video stabilization using motion vector estimated from the amount of change of the epipoles. Experiment results show that the proposed method is more efficient than conventional methods.

The use of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems is increasing due to new policies in the energy industries. However, the increase in distributed generation hinders the reliability of power systems. In order to stabilize power systems, a virtual power plant has been proposed as a novel power grid management system. The virtual power plant plays includes different distributed energy resources and energy storage systems. We define a core virtual power plant technology related to demand response and ancillary service for the cases of Korea, America, and Europe. We also suggest applications of the proposed virtual power plant to the vehicle-to-grid market for restructuring national power industries in Korea.

Researches on air-ground robot cooperating system has been made recently. The cooperation among homogeneous robots focused on the architecture of the system, quality and influence of the communication. In contrast, the cooperation among heterogeneous robots such as aerial vehicle and ground vehicle robots has not been much handled. There are a couple of main points for those air-ground cooperating robots. One is using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) as an extra sensor of UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle). This kind of application is usually used in situations such as guiding UGV to an appropriate path which could be better determined from the eye in the sky as UAV. The other main application of air-ground cooperating robot system is the localization. By combining sensor information from both UAV and UGV, the robot system as a whole can localize a target object or find features in the environment with better performance than UGV or UAV alone. Although these applications are recently studied in many different ways and devices, there are still a lot of possibilities in the field of air-ground cooperating robot systems. We introduce those research fields in this paper.

Generally, a single phase H-bridge converter feeding a single primary track is employed in conventional inductive power transfer systems. However, these systems may not be suitable for some high power applications due to the constraints of the semiconductor switches and the cost. To resolve this problem, a novel dual coupled primary tracks IPT system consisting of two high frequency resonant inverters feeding the tracks is presented in this paper. The primary tracks are wound around an E-shape ferrite core in parallel which enhances the magnetic flux around the tracks. The mutual inductance of the coupled tracks is utilized to achieve adjustable power sharing between the inverters by configuring the additional resonant capacitors. The total transfer power can be continuously regulated by altering the pulse width of the inverters' output voltage with the phase shift control approach. In addition, the system's efficiency and the control strategy are provided to analyze the characteristic of the proposed IPT system. An experimental setup with total power of 1.4kW is employed to verify the proposed system under power ratios of 1:1 and 1:2 with a transfer efficiency up to 88.7%. The results verify the performance of the proposed system.

The design of a reliable and failsafe control system requires that sensor failures be detected and identified within acceptable time limit so that system malfunction can be prevented. This paper presents a model-based approach to sensor fault detection with applications to vehicle stability control systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through test data-based evaluation. Vehicle test data-based evaluation results show that the proposed fault management scheme can be used for the design of a failsafe VSCs.

This study is concerned with the problem of routing vehicles stationed at a central depot to supply customers with known demands, in such a way as to minimize the total distance travelled. The problem is referred to as the vehicle routing problem and is a generalization of the multiple traveling salesmen problem that has many practical applications. A branch-and-bound algorithm for the exact solution of the vehicle routing problem is presented. The algorithm finds the optimal number of vehicles as well as the minimum distance routes. A numerical example is given.
