In this paper, we designed a vehicle active suspension controller. Vehicle suspensions have various design objects with tradeoff among them and these objects cannot be satisfied under all driving conditions. We need to design a controller adapted to variable driving conditions changing the objects of vehicle suspensions. To design such a controller, we must be able to detect the current driving conditions and focus on the road frequencies giving us useful and important information about driving conditions. Detecting the road frequencies, we use the Fourier Transform. A unexpected driving change like a speed bump was also included to items the new designed controller must consider.

This paper presents the pillar section optimization technique considering the reliability of the vehicle body structure consisted of complicated thin-walled panels. The response surface method is utilized to obtain the response surface models that describe the approximate performance functions representing the system characteristics on the section properties of the pillar and on the mass and the natural frequencies of the vehicle B.I.W. The reliability-based design optimization on the pillar sections Is performed and compared with the conventional deterministic optimization. The FORM is applied for the reliability analysis of the vehicle body structure. The developed optimization system is applied to the pillar section design considering the fundamental natural frequencies of passenger car body structure. By applying the proposed RBDO technique, it can be possible to optimize the pillar sections considering the reliability that engineers require.

The study is to develop a foundation design for a railway vehicle simulator using a scaled model. Although a scaled simulator is limited to manipulate the dynamics of a full-size railway vehicle, it has been known to have an advantage, since a scaled model could provide the fundamental dynamic behavior within a limited space of a laboratory facility and with a low operation cost while an experiment is conducted. This study is to propose a design strategy for a simulator so that a small scaled roller rig could be fabricated in a laboratory based on the design philosophy. The data obtained from the scale model is also experimentally investigated in conjunction with appropriate non-dimensional analysis so that the output results should be interpreted to the railway vehicle.

Commercial vehicle ESC assessment for curvature road was conducted. The previous study of ESC activation condition for losing controllability utilizing the test protocols of double lane change and sine with dwell method was conducted without considering the geometric complexity of roadway design. Since critical rollover accidents were frequently observed in the exit ramp zone, variety of curve, slope and bank have been added for analysis conditions. Detailed feature of the ramp including location, dimension and design characteristics have been analyzed from the typical trumpet type ramp design. Analyzing accident data from 2008, two specific ramps have been selected due to their complexity in design and severity in steering operation.

The purpose of the present study is to develop conceptual design of a railway vehicle simulator based on a scaled model. Although the scaled simulator is limited in its ability to manipulate the full dynamics of a full-size railway vehicle, it has been known to have an advantage in that it could provide means of testing the fundamental dynamic behavior within a limited laboratory space and at low operation cost. The present study proposes a design strategy for a simulator so that a small scaled roller rig could be fabricated and operated in laboratory setting based on the design philosophy. The data obtained from experimental testing using a scale model can be used to verify and interpret the dynamic performance of full-scale railway vehicle by applying appropriate non-dimensional analysis.

차량은 여러 가지 설계변수가 결합된 동적계이다. 차량의 운동특성은 이러한 설계변수의 변화에 따라 변하게 된다. 설계변수의 조종안정성에 대한 영향을 파악하기 위하여 현가장치나 조향장치 특성이 포함된 등가코너링강성을 고려한 차량의 조종안정성 모델에 대하여 수치해법에 의한 민감도 해석을 수행하였다. 민감도 해석결과로부터 차량설계변수인 무게중심위치, 타이어 코너링특성, 현가장치 및 조향장치의 특성의 변화에 대한 정상상태이득, 스테빌리티 팩타, 주파수응답 등 차량 조종안정성의 변화율을 파악할 수 있었다. 또한 민감도 해석은 정성적이고 정량적인 결과를 제공하므로 설계단계는 물론 차량개발단계에서도 차량의 성능향상을 위한 설계변수들의 최적화에 사용될 수 있다.

PURPOSES : It is desirable for buses to be parallel to the face of the bus shelter at a bus stop. In this way, passengers can safely use the buses without moving into the vehicle area. The study was a review of the current bus bay geometric guidelines, to determine whether they lead buses to stop parallel to the face of the bus shelter by analyzing vehicle trajectory. METHODS : A commercial software program for vehicle trajectory analysis was used under our assumptions about bus dimensions and geometric values. The final position of the bus was analyzed for multiple trajectory simulations, reflecting various geometric alternatives. RESULTS : Within the scope of the study, we concluded that the current design guidelines need to be revised by the design values suggested by the study. CONCLUSIONS : The results of the study suggested alternative design values for bus bay geometry, based on the assumption that buses should be parallel to the face of the bus shelter in order to prevent passengers from moving into the vehicle area.

A hand-made vehicle with a formula (VF-1) was designed and manufactured with the aim of realizing a lightweight and high-performance vehicle. The driver's body weight and stiffness of the frame were considered. The vehicle was equipped with a one-cylinder Exiv 250 engine with intake manifold potting for realizing weight reduction, high performance, and low cost. The suspension system for the formula was designed through the analyses and tests of vehicle motion and equipment. In a steering system, anti-Ackerman geometry was introduced to increase the transverse force during cornering. A full electric paddle shift system was adopted to decrease the braking distance. For protection against the distortion and warping of the frame, tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding technology was used.

In the development of automated driving, interest in the interior parts of vehicle is to become more significant in terms of the occupant safety and comfort. This study proposed an optimal design of front seat according to the design requirements for frame stiffness and seat comfort. For the seat comfort, the appropriate foam thickness was obtained using the structural analysis under reclined occupant loadings. While the strength and stiffness analyses were performed to evaluate the seat frame structure. Topology optimization was carried out based on the simulation results and the derived optimal model and baseline seat design was updated. The conceptual seat design for the autonomous vehicle in this study showed that the model development process is appropriate for the design parameters in both frame stiffness and seat comfort.

A design method of railway wheel profile with objective function of equivalent conicity considering wheel dimension constraint, two points contact problem between wheel and rail was proposed. New design method shows good results. New wheel profile generated from optimization process shows better dynamic performance compared with initial profile as the purpose of wheel profile design. And to verify the design method with testing the stability of new wheel profile, we conducted a critical speed test for new wheel profile using scale model applied scaling method of railway vehicle dynamics. The result of critical speed test show good agreement with that of numerical analysis. From the above results, it is seen that the design method with objective function of equivalent conicity is feasible and it could be applied to design new wheel profile efficiently.
