Recently, various studies have been conducted to apply deep learning and AI to various fields of autonomous driving, such as recognition, sensor processing, decision-making, and control. This paper proposes a controller applicable to path following, static obstacle avoidance, and pedestrian avoidance situations by utilizing reinforcement learning in autonomous vehicles. For repetitive driving simulation, a reinforcement learning environment was constructed using virtual environments. After learning path following scenarios, we compared control performance with Pure-Pursuit controllers and Stanley controllers, which are widely used due to their good performance and simplicity. Based on the test case of the KNCAP test and assessment protocol, autonomous emergency steering scenarios and autonomous emergency braking scenarios were created and used for learning. Experimental results from zero collisions demonstrated that the reinforcement learning controller was successful in the stationary obstacle avoidance scenario and pedestrian collision scenario under a given condition.

In this paper, operation algorithms for a parallel HEV equipped with a relatively small motor are investigated. For the HEV, the power assist and the equivalent fuel algorithms are proposed. In the power assist algorithm, an electric motor is used to assist the engine which provides the primary power source. Tn the equivalent fuel algorithm, the electric energy stored in the battery is considered to be an equivalent fuel, and an equivalent brake specific fuel consumption for the electric energy is proposed. From the equivalent fuel algorithm, distribution of the engine power and the motor power is determined to minimize the fuel consumption for a given battery state of charge (SOC) and a required vehicle power. It is found from the simulation results that the fuel economy and the final battery SOC depend on the motor discharge energy and it is the best way to charge the battery only by the regenerative braking, not by the engine to improve the overall fuel efficiency of the HEV with the relatively small motor.

As enforced by the regulation on the improving fuel efficiency and increased the demand on green technology, many interests are focused on electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. Thus the technology development in electrification of vehicle operation system, including steering and braking field, is actively progressive. Especially electric power steering substitutes for hydraulic power steering rapidly in the market, which is more complex and bigger in packaging volume compared with electric power steering system. The core component in electric power steering system is a motor, which is required to be silent and powerful to guarantee required system performance. Brushless synchronous motors are widely used and many variations of the motors are introduced in the market, while the performance of each type is not well defined or studied for electric power steering system. In this paper, recent developments in brushless synchronous motor are reviewed and compared applying finite element analysis in electromagnetic field. As results, each characteristic of different types of brushless synchronous motors is compared and summarized for optimized selection in electric power steering system.

An experiment is conducted for measuring the performance of an air tool, which is operated at 100,000 RPM at the unloaded state with the low torque. An experimental apparatus is developed as the power absorption type dynamometer. Inlet static pressure, flow rate, RPM and force are measured simultaneously. Torque, output power and specific output power are obtained. Those experimental results are compared with the experimental results obtained on a commercial dynamometer. However, no commercial dynamometers are available for measuring the torque above 30,000RPM. In order to use the commercial dynamometer, a reduction gear is applied to the shaft of dynamometer. Torque and power obtained on the commercial dynamometer show 50% lower than those obtained on a power absorption type dynamometer, because the inertia force is added to the air tool rotor for the braking system. Moreover, the starting RPM on the commercial dynamometer is less than 40,000RPM. From the compared results, they show that the power absorption type dynamometer should be applied for measuring the performance of an air tool operating at low torque and high RPM.

전기기계식 제동장치(EMB : Electro Mechanical Brake)는 자동차 및 철도차량의 차세대 제동장치로서 현재 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 현재의 고속열차용 제동장치는 공압 실린더를 이용하여 제동 압부력을 발생시키나 전기기계식 제동장치 (EMB)에서는 전기 모터 및 기어와의 조합을 통하여 압부력을 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서는 고압부력 발생이 가능한 EMB 구동 메커니즘을 제안하고, 해당 메커니즘을 만드는 기구장치 중 핵심부품인 기어 및 샤프트 부품들에 대한 구조 및 진동해석을 수행하였다. 한편 모델에 대한 동적 진동해석 결과 압부력이 가해진 상태에서 외부가진이 주어졌을 때 부재의 최대 응력이 항복강도 이내임이 확인되었다. 또한, 구조해석 결과 모터샤프트의 축 직경을 최대한 크게하는 설계가 강도 상 유리함을 확인하였으며, 기어와 편심샤프트를 고정하는 볼트에서 큰 전단응력이 발생할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 한편 해석모델의 메커니즘을 재현할 수 있는 시험장치를 제작하여 가장 취약한 부위인 고정 볼트부의 변형률을 구동 토크가 가해진 상태에서 측정하였다. 변형률 측정결과는 해석결과와 오차가 10% 이내로서, 해석모델의 정확도를 검증할 수 있었다.

This paper describes the speed control functions of the typical steam turbine speed controllers and the test results of generator load rejection simulations. The goal of the test is to verify the speed controller's ability to limit the steam turbine's peak speed within a predetermined level in the event of generator load loss. During normal operations, the balance between the driving force of the steam turbine and the braking force of the generator load is maintained and the speed of the turbine-generator is constant. Upon the generator's load loss, in other word, the load rejection, the turbine speed would rapidly increase up to the peak speed at a fast acceleration rate. It is required that the speed controller has the ability to limit the peak speed below the overspeed trip point, which is typically 110[%] of rated speed. If an actual load rejection occurs, a substantial amount of stresses will be applied to the turbine as well as other equipments, In order to avoid this unwanted situation, not an actual test but the other method is necessary. We are currently developing the turbine control system for another nuclear power plant and have plan to do the simulation suggested in this paper.

In this paper, an auxiliary winding driving system of single-phase induction motors is described. Starting charateristics variations are obtained by controlling the auxiliary winding voltage magnitude and phase angle, while the motor's main winding is directly connected to the local utility. A variable auxiliary winding voltage phase angle is shown to yield significant torque control, providing starting and braking torque. The analysis includes the determination of the relationship between the auxiliary winding voltage phase angle and the phase angle difference between the main and auxiliary winding current. The paper proposed for adjusting an auxiliary winding voltage magnitude and phase angle. Experimental results of motor's starting characteristics with using the DC-AMP and PWM inverter for auxiliary winding power supply are shown. The drive is tested using a dynamometer to experimentally verify the results of the theory.
