This paper presents a high performance sensor less control four motorized wheels for electric vehicle. Firstly, we applied a sensor less master-slave DTC based control to both the two in wheel motors by using sliding mode observer for its quick response and its high reliability in electric vehicle application. Secondly, to overcome the possible loss of adherence of one of the four wheels which is likely to destabilize the vehicle a solution is proposed in this paper. Thirdly, a Fuzzy logic anti-skid control structure well adapted to the non-linear system is used to overcome the main problem of power train system in the wheel road adhesion characteristic. Various Simulation results have been include in this paper to show that the proposed control strategy can prevent vehicle sliding and show good vehicle stability on a curved path.

A number of passive aerodynamic drag reduction methods were applied separately and then in different combinations on an intercity bus model, through wind tunnel studies on a 1:20 scale model of a Mercedes Benz Tourismo 15 RHD intercity bus. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling was also conducted in parallel to assist with flow visualisation. The commercial CFD package $CFX^{TM}$ was used. It has been found that dramatic reductions in coefficient of drag ($C_D$) of up to 70% can be achieved on the model using tapered and rounded top and side leading edges, and a truncated rear boat-tail. The curved front section allows the airflow to adhere to the bus surfaces for the full length of the vehicle, while the boat-tails reduce the size of the low pressure region at the base of the bus and more importantly, additional pressure recovery occurs and the base pressures rise, reducing drag. It is found that the CFD results show remarkable agreement with experimental results, both in the magnitude of the force coefficients as well as in their trends. An analysis shows that such a reduction in aerodynamic drag could lead to a significant 28% reduction in fuel consumption for a typical bus on intercity or interstate operation. This could translate to a massive dollar savings as well as significant emissions reductions across a fleet. On road tests are recommended.

This paper presents a sliding mode observer-based fault detection algorithm for steering inputs of an all-terrain crane. All-terrain cranes with multi-axles have several steering modes for various working purposes. Since steering angles at the other axles except the first wheel are controlled by using the information of steering angle at the first wheel, a reliable signal of the first axle's steering angle should be secured for the driving safety of cranes. For the fault detection of steering input signal, a simplified crane model-based sliding mode observer has been used. Using a sliding mode observer with an equivalent output injection signal that represents an actual fault signal, a fault signal in steering input was reconstructed. The road steering mode of the crane's steering system was used to conduct performance evaluations of a proposed algorithm, and an arbitrary fault signal was applied to the steering angle at the first wheel. Since the road steering mode has different steering strategies according to different speed intervals, performance evaluations were conducted based on the curved path scenario with various speed conditions. The design of algorithms and performance evaluations were conducted on Matlab/Simulink environment, and evaluation results reveal that the proposed algorithm is capable of detecting and reconstructing a fault signal reasonably well.

The bi-modal tram guided by the magnetic guidance system has two car-bodies and three axles. Each axle of the vehicle has an independent suspension to lower the floor of the car and improve ride quality. The turning radius of the vehicle may increase as a consequence of the long wheel base. Therefore, the vehicle is equipped with the All-Wheel-Steering(AWS) system for safe driving on a curved road. Front and rear axles should be steered in opposite directions, which means a negative mode, to minimize the turning radius. On the other hand, they also should be steered in the same direction, which means a positive mode, for the stopping mode. Moreover, only the front axle is steered for stability of the vehicle upon high-speed driving. In summary, steering angles and directions of the each axle should be changed according to the driving environment and steering mode. This paper proposes an appropriate AWS control algorithm for stable driving of the bi-modal tram. Furthermore, a multi-body model of the vehicle is simulated to verify the suitability of the algorithm. This model can also analyze the different dynamic characteristics between 2WS and AWS.

In this paper, AWS ECU test method, which is considering behavior of a Bi-modal tram, is described. In order to evaluate the performance of an electronic automotive ECU, the method which combines HILS (Hardware In the Loop Simulation) and RBT (Requirement Based Testing) is introduced. HILS is the method to predict the behavior of a vehicle adopting an ECU. The behavior of a Bi-modal tram can be analyzed by using the vehicle dynamic model. Requirement Based Testing compare the outputs of a real system with a virtual electronic unit (oracle) which created by the requirements. Rear axles of the Bi-modal tram are independently controlled by two AWS ECU. Especially, swing out can happen when an articulated vehicle is operated in the curved road. Therefore dynamic behaviour of a Bi-modal tram is considered at this situation. Through this study, the reliability of ECU can be verified economically and safely using the proposed test method before conducting the track test.

The traffic accidents at a construction site, which happen due to construction vehicles' frequent access to a construction site, its subsequent conflicts with ordinary vehicles and pedestrians, and inappropriate installation & management of traffic security facilities, have not many proportions in all traffic accidents, but obviously, the accident damage is quite serious when comparing the level of the fatal per one accident. This research conducted an analysis of traffic accident injury severity using Ordered Probit Model in relation to 241 traffic accident cases that occurred caused by construction sites among the traffic accidents that took place in Seoul and Gyeoggi-do region for two years from 2006 until 2007. As a result, the significant variables enough to explain traffic accident injury severity were analyzed to be the state of road surface, linear shape of an accident spot & whether the damaging car belongs to the vehicle for construction, and whether vehicles have access to a construction site at the time of an accident. Through this, this research found out some fact as follows: first, there need to be more aggressive management of the vehicles for construction and a year-round placement of the manpower who can control vehicular access to a construction site. Second, it is necessary to get drivers to recognize the fact that there exists a construction site on the construction section which is on the border of curved roads in advance to prevent a traffic accident, helping to reduce socioeconomic loss & costs incurred by a traffic accident.

사고예측모형은 장래 계획 노선이나 다른 노선에 적용되어 사고를 예측하거나 안전개선사업 및 교통정책의 평가 등에 활용된다. 본 연구에서는 고속도로 본선에 대해 이러한 용도로 활용될 수 있는 사고예측모형을 구축하고자 한다. 또한 자료 구축이 용이한 변수를 선정하여 모형을 쉽게 활용할 수 있도록 하는 것을 기본 목표로 하였다. 모형은 종속변수를 사고건수와 사상자발생사고건수로 하여 사고모형과 사상자발생사고모형을 각각 구축하였다. 모형에 적용된 확률구조는 음이항 분포와 포아송 분포이며, 추정에 의해 적합한 모형을 선별하였다. 국내 고속도로중 주요한 9개 노선을 선정하였고, 시간적으로는 2003~2007년까지 5개년도 자료를 활용하였다. 모형의 설명변수는 교통류 특성을 나타내는 교통량 등의 예측 가능한 변수와 기하구조 요인 등을 적용하였다. 최우추정법에 의한 추정 결과 사고모형의 경우 구간길이, 일교통량, 버스비율, 곡선구간수가 유의한 변수로 추정되었으며 사상자발생사고모형에서는 구간 길이와 일교통량, 버스비율이 유의한 변수로 추정되었다. 모형의 공간적 시간적 전이 가능성을 확인하기 위해 우도비 검정을 수행한 결과, 사고모형은 6차로 이상이나 4차로의 교통류 및 기하구조 특성을 가지는 도로로의 전이가 가능하였다, 반면 사상자발생 사고모형은 모든 도로와 시간대로의 전이가 가능하여, 모형의 활용도가 높게 나타났다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 구축된 모형은 다른 노선과 장래 계획, 정책 평가 등에 다양하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
