An ECU(Electronic Control Unit) with 16 bit microcomputer has been developed. This system includes hardware and software for more precise control on fuel injection, ignition timing, and idle speed. This control system employs an air flow sensor of the hot wire type, a direct ignition system, an idle speed control system using a solenoid valve, and a crank angle sensor. Especially, the crank angle sensor provides two separate signals: One is the position signal(POS) which indicates 180 degree pulses per revolution, and the other is the reference signla(REF) that represents each cylinder individually. The conventional engine control system requires at least two engine revolutions in order to identify the cylinder number. However, the developed engine control system can recognize the cylinder number within a quarter of an engine revolution. Therfore, the developed engine control system has been able to control fuel injection and ignition timing more quickly and accurately, Furthermore, the number of misfire reduces during the cold start.

AFLS (Adaptive front lighting System) is being applied to improve safety in driving automotive at night. Safe embedded system for controlling head-lamp has to be tightly designed by considering safety requirement of hardware-dependent software, which is embedded in automotive ECU(Electronic Control Unit) hardware under severe environmental noise. In this paper, we propose an adaptive headlight controller with newly-designed symmetric angle sensor compensator, which is integrated with ECU-based adaptive front light system. The proposed system, on which additional backup hardware and emergency control algorithm are integrated, effectively detects abnormal situation and restore safe status of controlling the light-angle in AFLS operations by comparing result in symmetric angle sensor. The controlled angle value is traced into internal memory in runtime and will be continuously compared with the pre-defined lookup table (LUT) with symmetric angle value, which is used in normal operation. The watch-dog concept, which is based on using angle sensor and control-value tracer, enables quick response to restore safe light-controlling state by performing the backup sequence in emergency situation.

본 논문에서는 제어기 기능이 표현 된 변경된 MATLAB Simulink/Stateflow(SL/SF) 모델의 재사용 가능한 테스트 케이스 도출 기법을 제안한다. 자동차의 ECU(Electrical Control Unit)와 같이 복잡한 SL/SF 모델의 테스트 케이스를 작성하는데 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하다. 모델이 수정 될 때마다 새로 만들어낼 테스트 케이스를 줄이기 위한 직관적인 방법은 수정 전 모델에서 생성한 테스트 케이스 중 일부를 재사용하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 모델 행동을 정의하고 테스트 케이스 별 모델 동등성을 판단하여 수정 후 SL/SF에 재사용 가능한 테스트 케이스를 도출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 테스트 케이스 재사용 기법은 상용 자동차 제어기 모델을 이용하여 성능을 평가한다.

ABS(Antilock Brake System) prevents the wheels from "locking" and improve "handling" during braking. Currently, safety and environmental issues are a major concern in the automotive industry. ABS has become the vital brake system. ABS is composed of sensors for wheel speed, a pressure modulator for controlling the brake pressures in the wheel brake cylinders, and an electronic control unit(ECU) which evaluates the signals from the wheel speed sensors and converts these to commands to control the pressure of modulator. In this paper, ECU developed for commercial vehicles is described. Detection of wheel slip, control algorithms of ABS, and diagnosis method of ECU are presented.

Recently, Ethernet-based Diagnostic Over Internet Protocol (DoIP) was applied to automotive systems, and in-vehicle gateways have been introduced to integrate Ethernet with traditional in-vehicle networks, such as the local interconnect network (LIN), controller area network (CAN) and FlexRay. The introduction of in-vehicle gateways and of Ethernet based diagnostic protocols not only decreases the complexity of the networks, but also reduces the update time for ECU software reprogramming while enabling the use of a range of services, including remote diagnostics. In this paper, a diagnostic gateway was implement for an automotive system, and the performance measurements are presented. In addition, a range of applications provided by the diagnostic gateway are proposed.

The prevalence of microprocessor-based controllers in automotive systems has greatly increased the need for tools which can be used to validate and test control systems over their full range of operation. The objective of this paper is to develop a real time simulator of traction control system by the methodology of using hardware-in-loop simulation based on a personal computer. By use of this simulator, the analysis of commercial electronic control units and components for TCS were performed successfully. The simulator of this research can be applied to development of more advanced control systems(suck as vehicle dynamics control system) and other automotive system.

Optimal engine control is needed to cope with the global environmental regulations that are globally enforced. For optimum engine control, the electronic throttle control system (ETCS) is a prerequisite. Automotive makers are having an effect on reducing emissions and improving fuel economy by applying ETCS which is designed to secure stability. The ETCS controls the output of the throttle valve by passing the output value of the accelerator position sensor (APS) to the engine control unit (ECU). In this study, the authors investigated the safety standards of domestic and overseas accelerator control system and tried to understand how the air flow control affects the engine output by replacing the throttle. The authors suggest an improvement proposal of safety standard based on the result of driving evaluation by various modes.

PE(Passive Entry)는 자동차 운전자가 스마트 키를 직접 사용하지 않고 차량의 문을 열거나 닫는 자동차 기술이다. PG(Passive Go)는 운전자가 스마트 키를 갖고 차량 내에 있을 때 시동을 걸거나 끄는 기술이다. 이러한 2가지 기능을 합쳐서 PEG라 부른다. PEG의 핵심 기술 중의 하나인 LF(Low Frequency) 안테나 구동기는 명령을 처리하는 디지털 블록과 sine 파를 발생시키는 아날로그 블록으로 구성되어 있다. LF 안테나 구동기의 디지털 블록은 MCU(혹은 ECU)로부터 명령을 받아서 요청된 명령을 수행하며, 내부의 FIFO 블록에 안테나 구동 관련 명령 및 데이터를 저장한다. FIFO에서 명령을 읽어내 이에 대응하는 조치를 취하며 변조된 LF 데이터를 아날로그 블록에 전달하면 아날로그 블록은 sine 파를 생성하여 안테나를 통해 외부로 전달한다. 설계된 LF 안테나 구동기용 디지털 블록은 기존의 제품과 비교하여 더 빠른 속도로 LF 데이터 전송을 수행할 수 있다. 이의 응용 분야는 자동차용 PEG 및 건물의 출입문 개폐에 활용이 가능하다.
