A model trains must have similitude with its original model not only in shape but also in motion. Motion characteristics of a model train under considerations are maximum velocity in straight and circular tracks and stopping distance. Equations of motions are derived to obtain maximum speed and stopping distance based on the Newton's Second Law and the energy principal. To accurately predict traction and resistance force between wheel and rail. wheel slip, or creepage, is taken into consideration. To verify the equations of motion, various experiments have been carried out including measurement of gear efficiency, location of mass center, rolling resistance force, traction force, slip, maximum velocity and stopping distance. This paper addresses how the experiments are setup and carried out in detail. Also the results of experiments are compared with the analytical prediction, which showed good agreements with each other.

바퀴와 BLDC전동기 일체형으로 구성되는 Hub Wheel 전동기는 감속기가 없는 직접 구동방식으로서 저소음 고효율의 운전이 가능하여 경전철의 구동부로 활용이 가능하다. 하지만 Hub Wheel 전동기는 속도계측을 위한 센서의 장착이 용이하지 않다. 전동기의 원활한 속도 제어를 위해서는 별도의 속도 계측을 위한 방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서 입력이 적극 반영된 간단한 수학적 시스템 모델을 가지고 이산 칼만 필터를 사용하여 전동기 속도를 추정하고 이를 이용하여 속도제어를 하는 방법을 제시한다.

The diameter of a new wheel in EMUs is 860mm and it can be used up to 773mm. To obtain an predefined acceleration despite wheel diameter changes, the tractive efforts of the vehicles must be properly controlled. In the commencement of this study, acceleration tests were performed for empty EMUs when the wheel diameter was changed to 860mm, 820mm and 780mm, respectively. In order to deal with more complicated running conditions, we developed dynamic simulation models of the EMUs using VI-Rail, and simulated the models in empty and full passenger loads, respectively. Using the simulation results, we analyzed the gradient of time-velocity graphs by considering the changes of the total weight vehicles and moment of inertia of the wheelsets as well as tractive effort according to the wheel diameter changes. As the results, it was found that there are significant differences in acceleration performances according to the wheel diameters and the payloads of EMUs. In case of 860mm which is the maximum wheel diameter, the test & simulation results show that the vehicle couldn't reach the predefined acceleration, 3.0km/h/s, due to lack of tractive effort.

KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) is going to launch a Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) at summer of 2009. It will be first thing to be developed for a geostationary satellite through domestic technology. Of course, KARI has performed this development program with EADS Astrium in France since 2005. COMS has the non-symmetric configuration that the solar array is only attached on the south panel. Due to the configuration, momentum of satellite will be rapidly accumulated induced by solar pressure and then 3 wheels of large momentum are located on roll-yaw plane for attitude control. Therefore, to prevent the saturation of wheel momentum, wheel off-loading will be performed two times per day during 10 minutes for each one. At the moment, translation movement on 3-axes direction appears because of using thrusters. In this paper, strategy of the wheel off-loading and triaxiality which is the translation effect on 3-axes are introduced. Consequently, the result of optimized triaxiality considering the wheel off-loading strategy is summarized.

A scheduling technique for the improvement of yaw motion stability in in-wheel motor vehicle is proposed. Normally vehicle velocity is controlled via conventional PID method. When vehicle is encountered with different road conditions on left and right hand sides, unstable yaw motion is induced due to the driving force difference in both wheels. In this paper a scheduling formular for control gain is derived in terms of experimental results to generate proper counter control action. Simulation result reveals its effective performance in yaw control of in-wheel vehicle.

It is generally known that the automotive road wheel involves the non-proportional multiaxial loading condition, therefore the measuring dynamic stress and strain in driving state is very important to predict an endurance characteristic of the automotive road wheel. In this study, the ultimate driving test using F1 circuit with respect to 2 kinds of velocity conditions have been carried out in order to measure dynamic stress, strain of the wheel and acceleration of a vehicle. Based on the measured results, the characteristics of dynamic stress generation have been analyzed, and factors which have effect on the dynamic stress generation have been studied.

In this study, the acceleration performance improvement was analyzed for a 2-speed transmission applied EV. An EV simulator was developed to analyze the EV acceleration performance. The EV simulator includes a load transfer model between the front and rear. Thus, the EV simulator can analyze the acceleration performance difference between the front-and rear-wheel drive EVs. From the simulation results, it is deduced that the acceleration performance can be improved by 7.96% for the front-wheel drive EV and 16.10% for the rear-wheel drive EV. The 2-speed transmission can improve the acceleration performance without decreasing its maximum velocity. Moreover, the 2-speed transmission can improve the acceleration performance of the rear wheel drive more than that of the front-wheel drive EV.

Availability of the climbing angle information is crucial for the intelligent vehicle system. However, the climbing angle information can't be measured with the sensor mounted on the vehicle. In this paper, climbing angle estimation system is proposed. First, longitudinal acceleration obtained from gyro-sensor is compared with the actual longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle. If the vehicle is in yawing motion, actual longitudinal acceleration can't be approximated from time derivative of wheel speed, because lateral velocity and yaw rate affect actual longitudinal acceleration. Wheel speed and yaw rate can be obtained from the sensors mounted on the vehicle, but lateral velocity can't be measured from the sensor. Therefore, lateral velocity is estimated using unknown input observer with nonlinear tire model. Simulation results show that the compensated results using lateral velocity and yaw rate show better performance than uncompensated results.

Nowadays, the axle counter has been developed to the wide range of the track circuit blocks as well as the wheel detection device. The axle counter, as becoming an important device for the high speed railway, must be guaranteed in accordance with the safety. With considering the safety and the high speed, performance evaluation a wheel detection sensor is described in this paper. To increase the safety, digital proximity sensor instead of analog is employed in the wheel detection sensor. Therefor the wheel detection sensor can minimize noisy signals caused by the harsh railway environments. And, to meet the high speed railway requirements, the performance of the wheel detection sensor is also successfully verified using the speed simulator at the velocity 500Km/h.

The study is concerned with the investigation of grinding factor affecting the AE Source by means of the relation between the amplitude level of AE signal and the depth of wheel engagement in surface grinding by AE method. As the result, work velocity was confirmed that the amplitude of AE signal had almost constant value in comparison with the depth of wheel engagement. But the depth of wheel engagement and the width of wheel engagement were proportional to the amplitude of AE signal. Therefore, when the AE Source was classified by 3-zone, Ws and Wf were affected by the depth of wheel engagement and that Wr was affected by the width of wheel engagement. Also, the adaptability of the AE method was studied about the detection of tool life of grinding wheel, sparkout and initial contact point.
