  • About past 30 years, we don't have enough consideration and investigation about DB-Load. While 30 years, weight of truck is heavier and condition of roads differ, so many conditions of roads and vehicles are changed. We must consider change of many conditions and we must improve laws about maintenance of DB-Load. and now we must consider that low grade as well as high grade bridge can cross heavy vehicle and harmony between changed size of vehicle and bridge while making laws and code. So we can apply to improve design properly.

  • This work discusses simulation results for the fuzzy logic controller tested the project“Fuzzy Ramp Metering Algorithm Implementation.”The performance objectives were, in order of priority, to maximize total vehicle-miles, maximize mainline speeds, and minimize delay per vehicle while maintaining an acceptable ramp queue. In the fuzzy logic controller, the sensors from the on-ramps were helpful in maintaining reasonable ramp queue and mainline congestion because it considered these factors simultaneously. Each metered ramp had a parameter input file, which allowed the controller to be modified without recompiling the software. Consequently, maintenance costs should be minimal.

  • This paper presents steering system requirements to ensure the stabilized lateral control of autonomous driving vehicles. The two main objectives of a lateral controller in autonomous vehicles are maintenance of vehicle stability and tracking of the desired path. Even if the desired steering angle is immediately determined by the upper level controller, the overall controller performance is greatly influenced by the specification of steering system actuators. Since one of the major inescapable traits that affects controller performance is the time delay of the steering actuator, our work is mainly focused on finding adequate parameters of high level control algorithm to compensate these response characteristics and guarantee vehicle stability. Actual vehicle steering angle response was obtained with Electric Power Steering (EPS) actuator test subject to various longitudinal velocity. Steering input and output response analysis was performed via MATLAB system identification toolbox. The use of system identification is advantageous since the transfer function of the system is conveniently obtained compared with methods that require actual mathematical modeling of the system. Simulation results of full vehicle model suggest that the obtained tuning parameter yields reduced oscillation and lateral error compared with other cases, thus enhancing path tracking performance.

  • There have been many changes in Subway train types since SeoulMetro opened the Line No.1 in 1974. Propulsion control device has changed many times following the generations of control method from resistance control method which uses large resistor for the traction motor control to chopping control which uses power semiconductors and finally to inverter control. Railroad vehicle propulsion control device refers to devices such as converter/inverter which supply power for subway operation, power conversion equipment like small switching-mode power supply and traction motor. In this paper, we will analyze every part of railroad vehicle propulsion control device of SeoulMetro so we can find problems in the subway operation. And we will present propulsion control device model which makes minimized failures, efficient maintenance possible when replacing railroad vehicle later. By doing this, we hope to ensure stability and improve energy efficiency to the top.

  • The vehicle detection method using pulse radar has the advantage of maintenance in comparison with loop detection method. We propose the pulse radar signal processing algorithm in which we devide the trace. data from pulse radar into segments by using SSC concept, and then construct the sectors in accordance with period and amplitude of segments, and finally decide the vehicle detection probability by applying the SSC parameters of each sectors into the discriminant function. We also improve the signal processing time by reducing the quantities of processing data and processing routines.

  • In this paper, a neural network technique for automatic steering control of a four wheel drive autonomous highway snowplow vehicle is presented. Controllers are designed by the LQR method based on the vehicle model. Then, neural network is used as an auxiliary controller to minimize lateral tracking error under the presence of load. Simulation studies of LQR control and neural network control are conducted for the vehicle model under a virtual snowplowing situation. Tracking performances are also compared for two and four wheeled steering vehicles.

  • In steel works, Locomotives and torpedo ladle cars are used to convey the smelted iron that comes out Blast Furnace to the steel-making mill. Above conveying vehicles are operated in all steel works area. And to trace their positions, after partitioned their areas, Automatic Vehicle Identification(RF-ID method) is installed on the railroad and identifies vehicle numbers. But AVI facilities have many problem that means that are too expensive, cost too much maintenance fee and inefficient management. This paper is to revamp those inefficient operations and state the status of operations of train positioning system, get to know what the problem is. And also when we use GPS to monitor and trace the vehicle position ...

  • Structural integrity of either a passenger car or a light truck is one of the basic requirements for a full vehicle engineering and development program. The results of the vehicle product performance are measured in terms of ride and handling, durability, noise/vibration/harshness (NVH), crashworthiness and occupant safety. The level of performance of a vehicle directly affects the marketability, profitability and, most importantly, the future of the automobile manufacturer In this study, we used the virtual proving ground (VPG) approach for obtaining the dynamic characteristics. The VPG approach uses a nonlinear dynamic finite element code (LS-DYNA3D) which expands the application boundary outside the classic linear static assumptions. The VPG approach also uses realistic boundary conditions of tire/road surface interactions. To verify the predicted dynamic results, a single lane change test has been performed. The prediction results were compared with the experimental results, and the feasibility of the integrated CAE analysis methodology was verified.

  • Remotely operated vehicle(ROV) and autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV) have been used for underwater surveys, underwater exploration, resource harvesting, offshore plant maintenance and repair, and underwater construction. It is hard for people to work in the deep sea. Therefore, we need a vision control system of underwater submersible that can replace human eyes. However, many people have difficulty in developing a deep-sea image control system due to the deep sea special environment such as high pressure, brine, waterproofing and communication. In this paper, we will develop an Ethernet based remote image control system that can control the image mounted on ROV.
