Next Generation High Speed Train having a distributed electrical motor system has just been developing to aim the experimental maximum speed at 400km/h since August, 2007. This project is in stage of concept design and so, it needs to take some review and analysis the characteristics of suspensions on the view of concept design. A vehicle modeling is made of modified Korean High Speed Train bogie model with Vampire program and analyzed the effect on the dynamic performances according to the variation of primary and secondary suspension characteristics. The results would be useful to manage the potential risks in the next stage of basic and precision design that will be done by the manufacturing company.

The harness design process consists of repetitious routines to decide the wire configuration in its interior. A slight change in one of the wire's configuration will require a total reconfiguration of the entire wire system. Therefore, the harness design is extremely time consuming and is vulnerable to human errors by an engineer. Based on both electrical and mechanical area, Wiring Harness system is in complicated area. Existing systems are, therefore, not exactly suitable for practical use. This paper presents a novel framework for ameliorating existing system's defects. In this paper, Visio and Visual Basic was interfaced to process wire bundle information and wire bundle location to alleviate problems mentioned beforehand concerning harness design; at the same time developing the automation of the entire design process based on the feature based design method, optional print, and management of documents for reuse.

This paper presents microprocessor-based real-time speed and position detection by inductive radio loop in new transportation system, such as magnetically levitated train system, rubber tyred train, and linear-motor car. The constant elapsed time method is used in this study for high accurate detection over a wide speed range. And for reliability and safety of the system, it is duplicated and data-bus level comparison is performed by fail-safe comparator.

The train control and monitoring system(TCMS) is an on board computer system in railway vehicles performing the control, supervisory and diagnostic functions of the complete train. This system replaces a lot of hardwired relays and minimizes the necessaries vehicle wiring thus increasing the reliability of the train. In this paper, we proposed a software design technique of TCMS using CASE tool (SAO+). The TCMS functions are implemented in software easily programmed, using a functional block, graphic programming language. We applied the compressor air module to a case study.

버퍼는 생산시스템에서 시스템내의 기계고장, 프로세스시간의 변화, 그리고 부품들의 이동경로의 복잡성 등과 같은 요인들로 인해 발생 가능한 blocking현상과 starving현상을 감소시키는데 사용되고 있다. 유연 생산시스템(Flexible Manufacturing System)에서는 버퍼의 단위당 비용이 높아 시스템내의 총 버퍼 크기는 제한적이어서, 적절한 버퍼 관리를 통해 시스템 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 버퍼의 특성을 분석하고 AGVS(Automated Guided Vehicle System)을 사용하는 다중셀방식의 FMS(multi-cell Flexible Manufacturing Systems) 환경에서의 버퍼관리와 관련된 기존 연구들을 검토하고, 새로운 개념의 가상시스템버퍼를 소개한다.

Maglev is the vehicle which can run in levitated condition by the electro-magnets, and propelled by linear induction motors. Maglev system represents a typical example of large-scale multi-disciplinary system, consisting of subsystems such as train, electrical, hardware, electronics, control, information, communication, civil technology etc., that must be the subject under configuration, control and requirement management. Not only the requirements dictate the contracts with the suppliers but also become the basis of the development process, project execution, system integration, and testing. These requirements provide the basis specification of all development activities.

The proposed inertial measurement unit (IMU) is composed of accelerometers only. It can determine a vehicle's position and attitude, which is the Gyro-free INS. The Gyro-free INS error is deeply affected by the sensor bias, scale factor and misalignment. However, these parameters can be obtained in the laboratory. After these misalignments are corrected, the Gyro-free strap-down INS could be more accurate. This paper presents a compensator design for the strap-down six-accelerometer INS to correct misalignment. A calibration experiment is taken to get the error parameters. A simulation results show that it will decrease the INS error to enhance the performance after compensation.

This paper is to develop the path-tracking of free-ranging AGV(Autonomous Guided Vehicle). Encorders are used to trace the location of the AGV. A gyroscope is used to complement encorders that have the error accumulation problem by increasing the distance covered. A sensor fusion technique is applied to correct the error. The path of the AGV is controlled by kinematics and PID which is obtained the data from the sensor fusion. Experimental results are presented to verify the efficiency of proposed method.

Bidirectional DC/DC converters allows transfer of power between two dc sources, in either direction. Due to their ability to reverse the direction of flow of power, they are being increasingly used in many applications such as battery charger/dischargers, dc uninterruptible power supplies, electrical vehicle motor drives, aerospace power systems, telecom power supplies, etc. This paper proposes a new bidirectional Sepic/zeta converter. It has low swicthing loss and low conduction loss due to auxiliary communicated circuit and synchronous rectifier operation, respectively. Because of positive and buck/boost-like DC voltage transfer function(M=D/1-D), the proposed converter is very desirable for use in distributed power system . The proposed converter also has both transformerless version and transformer one.
