A numerical model and a controller of Active Front wheel Steer (AFS) system are designed in this study. The AFS model consists of four sub models, and the AFS controller uses sliding mode control and PID control methods. To test this model and controller an Integrated Dynamics Control with Steering (IDCS) system is also designed. The IDCS system integrates an AFS system and an ARS (Active Rear wheel Steering) system. The AFS controller and IDCS controller are compared under several driving and road conditions. An 8 degree of freedom vehicle model is also employed to test the controllers. The results show that the model of AFS system shows good kinematic steering assistance function. Steering ratio varies depends on vehicle velocity between 12 and 24. Kinematic stabilization function also shows good performance because yaw rate of AFS vehicle tracks the reference yaw rate. IDCS shows improved responses compared to AFS because body side slip angle is also reduced. This result also proves that AFS system shows satisfactory result when it is integrated with another chassis system. On a split-m road, two controllers forced the vehicle to proceed straight ahead.

By using differential force between left and right wheel, lateral motion can be controlled known as Direct Yaw-moment Control (DYC). In previous researches, DYC control is proposed to increase the stability of the vehicle, but maneuverability has not been discussed sufficiently. The car handling condition which is called the index parameter of maneuverability is dependent on the vehicle velocity and steering angle. To achieve the desired vehicle's cornering path, the car handling condition must be considered sufficiently. In this paper, the novel DYC method is proposed which gives the car handling condition regardless of the longitudinal speed. The proposed controller is based on the PI controller to feedback the curvature parameter. The controlled system shows the advantages of DYC regarding to the reference trajectory by the dual motor system. With respect to the uncontrolled model, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by numerical examples.

On-line and real-time information of the longitudinal velocity is the essential factor for the Advanced Vehicle Control Systems such as ABS(Anti-lock Brake System), TCS(Traction Control System), ESC (Electronic Stability Control) etc. However, the longitudinal velocity cannot be easily measured or calculated during braking maneuvering. A new algorithm is presented for the estimation of the longitudinal velocity with the measurements of the vehicle longitudinal/lateral acceleration, steering angle and yaw rate. The algorithm is designed utilizing the Extended Kalman Filter based on the 3 degree of freedom vehicle model. In order to compensate for the biased sensor signal on the inclined road, the inclined angle is also estimated. The performance of the proposed estimation algorithm is evaluated in field tests.

This paper focuses on the calculation of the missile angular velocity under the reduced sensor condition and its verification using the Flight Motion Simulator(FMS). The missile angular velocity is usually measured by the body gyroscopes, but we assume that the inertial sensors on the missile body are in the absence of pitch and yaw gyroscopes. Under this reduced sensor condition, this paper shows the missile angular velocity can be calculated by using the gimbal seeker gyroscope, the roll body gyroscope, the gimbal angle and its rate. The FMS experiment was carried out to verify the proposed algorithm.

An Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) provides the attitude of a vehicle with a constant velocity using an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and a magnetometer. In this case, in order to avoid the disadvantage of a gyroscope, an AHRS using a Gyro-Free IMU (GF-IMU) that is composed of only accelerometers may be considered instead of the gyroscopes. In this paper, a design method of an AHRS using a GF-IMU is proposed. The proposed AHRS consists of roll and pitch calculation, yaw calculation, angular acceleration and angular velocity calculation, attitude calculation, and a Kalman filter. In particular, since the angular velocity cannot be measured from a gyroscope, the angular acceleration is obtained from the accelerometer output, and the angular velocity is calculated by integrating it. In order to show the usefulness of the proposed method, a performance evaluation was carried out. The performance evaluation results show that the attitude estimation performance of the proposed AHRS is similar to that of the conventional AHRS.

The effects of Reynolds number on the non-nulling calibrations of a cone-type ave-type probe in low-speed flows have been investigated at Reynolds numbers of 2.04$\times$10$^3$, 4.09$\times$10$^3$and 6.13$\times$10$^3$. The calibration is conducted at the pitch and yaw angles in ranges between -35 degrees and 35 degrees with an angle interval of 5 degrees. In addition to the calibration coefficients, reduced pitch and yaw angles, static and total pressures, and velocity magnitude are obtained through a typical non-nulling reduction procedure. The result shows that each calibration coefficient, in general, is a function of both the pitch and yaw angles, so that the pre-existing calibration data in a nulling mode are not enough in accounting far the full non-nulling calibration characteristics. Due to interference of the probe stem, the calibration coefficient are more sensitive to Reynolds number at positive pitch angles than at negative ones. The calibration data reduced in this study may serve as a guide line in the estimation of uncertainty intervals resulted from the Reynolds number effects at low Reynolds numbers.

전자파표면유속계는 대표적인 비접촉식 계측기기로 최근 유량조사를 위해 활발하게 활용되고 있다. 국내에서 사용되고 있는 전자파표면유속계는 평수기 저유속에서도 측정이 가능하고 편각 측정이 가능하도록 개발되어 한 측정 지점에서 다 지점의 유속이 측정이 가능해 평수기 홍수기에 비교적 적은 인원으로 빠른 시간에 유량측정이 가능하다. 하지만 국내의 경우 전자파표면유속계가 과연 얼마만큼의 정확한 유속을 측정하는지에 대한 분석이 다소 부족한 실정으로 특히, 실제 하천에서 정확한 분석은 수행되지 않은 상태에서 유량 측정에 사용되고 있다. 전자파표면유속계를 실제 하천에서 사용할 경우 발생 할 수 있는 오차의 요인으로는 교량과 같이 높은 지점에서 측정을 수행할 경우 측정영역(Footprint or Illuminated area)에 따른 오차가 발생할 수 있는 가능성이 있고, 동일 측정 지점에 대해 수직각과 편각에 변화에 따른 유속 측정 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내에서 개발된 Mutronics사의 전자파표면유속계(MWSCM; Microwave Water Surface Current Meter)에 레이저포인터를 부착하여 표면유속 약 0.5m/s ~ 1m/s의 자연 하천과 매우 유사한 실제 소하천 규모의 한국건설기술연구원 안동실험센터 직선하천에서 수직각(Tilt angle) 및 편각(Yaw angle)을 변화시켜가며 유속를 측정하였다. 그리고 측정된 결과를 활용하여 수직각과 편각의 변화에 따른 전자파표면유속계의 측정영역을 검토하였고, 동일한 측정 지점에 micro-ADV를 이용해 측정된 연직유속분포를 외삽하여 산정된 표면유속과 비교하여 전자파표면유속계의 측정 정확도를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 수직각(Tilt angle) 15도 이하에서는 유속 측정의 정확도가 떨어지는 것으로 나타났고, 편각(Yaw angle)이 커질수록 측정영역이 커지게 되어 변동 계수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 전자파표면유속계의 측정 오차는 측정영역에 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타나 실제 전자파표면유속계를 이용한 유량측정 시 측정영역을 고려한 측정이 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper proposes an algorithm for correcting indirect situations resulting from the wheelchair moving the stairs with wheel-type caterpillar and seat position variable. For analyzing the Yawing movement model, the change of Yaw value was estimated using Roll, Pitch, and Yaw in the driving environment, and it was used as a control variable and the information of the wheel drive controller. The verification confirmed the correction of about 10° of Yawing movement within about 7 seconds. It was confirmed that the angular velocity was reduced by 47.5% in seat position change.

This paper focuses on a real-time hardware processing by implementing the ARM Cortex-M4 based embedded system, using a conversion algorithm from a muscular sense to both visual and auditory elements, which recognizes rotations of a human body, directional changes and motion amounts out of human senses. As an input method of muscular sense, AHRS(Attitude Heading Reference System) was used to acquire roll, pitch and yaw values in real time. These three input values were converted into three elements of HSI color model such as intensity, hue and saturation, respectively. Final color signals were acquired by converting HSI into RGB color model. In addition, Three input values of muscular sense were converted into three elements of sound such as octave, scale and velocity, which were synthesized to give an output sound using MIDI(Musical Instrument Digital Interface). The analysis results of both output color and sound signals revealed that input signals of muscular sense were correctly converted into both color and sound in real time by the proposed conversion method.
