본 논문에서는 무선 시스템에서 목표물 도래방향 추정에 대한 다중 빔에 대해서 연구한다. 빔 조향 방법은 고각 방향의 빔 조향 방식 또는 빔 형성 방식, 스택 빔 조향, 주파수 조향, 위상 조향 및 디지털 빔 형성 등으로 구분 된다. 제안된 알고리즘은 효과적인 빔 조향을 하기위해서 위상과 크기를 보정하는 안테나 가중치 오차 보정기법과 특이 행렬을 결합한 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 빔 조향 추정 알고리즘을 제안하여 디지털 빔 형성 레이더에 빔조향 방식을 적용하여 목표물을 추정하였다. 모의실험을 통해서 본 연구에서 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 기존 알고리즘과 비교 분석하였다. 목표물 도래방향 추정에서 본 연구에서 제안한 알고리즘이 기존 알고리즘보다 도래방향 추정 능력이 향상된 것을 입증하였다.

Electric Power Steering(EPS) system is superior to conventional Hydraulic Power Steering(HPS) system in aspect of fuel economy and environmental concerns. The EPS system consists of torque sensor, electric motor, ECU(Electric Control Unit), gears and etc. Among the elements, the torque sensor is one of the core technologies of which output signal is used for main input of EPS controller. Usually, the torque sensor has used torsion bar to transform torsion angle into torque. The torsion angle of both ends of a torsion bar is measured by a contact variable resistor. In this paper, the sensor is accurately analyzed using 3D finite element method and its characteristics with respect to four different shapes of the stator teeth are compared. The four shapes are rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal and circular type.

This paper presents development of a vehicle lateral and longitudinal control for autonomous driving control and test results obtained using an electric vehicle. Sliding control theory has been used to develop a vehicle speed and distance control algorithm. The longitudinal control algorithm that maintains safety and comfort of the vehicle consists of a cruise and STOP&GO control depending on traffic conditions. Desired steering angle is determined through the lateral position error and the yaw angle error based on preview optimal control. Motor control inputs have been directly derived from the sliding control law. The performance of the autonomous driving control which is integrated with a lateral and longitudinal control is investigated by computer simulations and driving test using an electric vehicle. Electric vehicle system consists of DC driving motor, an electric power steering system, main controller (Autobox)

This paper describes a vehicle low speed driving assistant (VLDA) system that is composed of laser scanner. This vehicle is designed for following lead vehicle (LV) without driver's operation. The system is made up several component systems that are based on unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). Each component system is applied to use advanced safety vehicle developed to complete UGV system. VLDA system was divided into vehicle control system and obstacle detecting system. The obstacle detecting system calculate distance and angle of LV and transmit these data to vehicle control system using front, left and right laser scanners. Vehicle control system makes vehicle control values such as steering angle, acceleration and brake position and control vehicle's movement with steering, acceleration and brake actuators. In this research, we designed VLDA system like as low speed cruise control system and test it on real road environments.

This paper has been studied analysis and design of microstrip Rotman lens operating over wide band and wide steering angle by the contour integral method along with the segmentation method. All mutual coupling, internal reflections between ports with exponential taper are taken into account. Equally spaced ports are designed and realized which gives less amplitude ripple at array ports. The measured results of 12 input and 12 output lens show $\pm$1.8 dB insertion loss deviation over 6~18GHz wide frequency range and beam steering accuracy less than 1$^{\circ}$ over $\pm$53$^{\circ}$ angle and agrees well with the analysis results.

Autonomous farm operation needs to be developed for safety, labor shortage problem, health etc. In this research, an autonomous tractor for tillage was investigated using machine vision and a fuzzy logic controller(FLC). Tractor heading and offset were determined by image processing and a geomagnetic sensor. The FLC took the tractor heading and offset as inputs and generated the steering angle for tractor guidance as output. A color CCD camera was used fro the image processing . The heading and offset were obtained using Hough transform of the G-value color images. 15 fuzzy rules were used for inferencing the tractor steering angle. The tractor was tested in the file and it was proved that the tillage operation could be done autonomously within 20 cm deviation with the machine vision and the FLC.

Reduction of ship's rolling is the most important performance requirement for improving the safety of the crew on board and preventing damage to cargo as well as improving the comfort of the ride. It is a common experience for mariners, to see that steering with a rudder generally induces rolling of the ship, though the original aim of the rudder is to keep the ship's heading to the required course. At the first stage, when a rudder is steered, usually a ship heels in an inward direction, due to the roll moment acting on the rudder. At the next stage in steering, the main heel may change to an outward. This coupling between rudder and roll motion has become an attractive problem from the point of view of roll stabilization using the rudder, because it is a natural in sight that if the rudder action is skillfully related to the change of roll as well as to the course deviation, the roll can be reduced to a certain degree. The main aim of this paper is to discuss the results of the actual full-scale sea trials carried out on steer gear No.1 and No.1 2, the individual quartermaster and to make clear their statistical properties, using the actual data which included measurement of roll angle, roll rate and the comparative tests were carried out immediately after each other, in order to minimize any statistical variation in sea conditions. It can be concluded that the steer gear No. 1 2 reduced the roll motion on average by about 21% in comparison with the No.1 and confirmed the some difference as per a ability of quarter-master's maneuver.

The current test methods are insufficient to evaluate and ensure the safety and reliability of vehicle system for all possible dynamic situation including the worst case such as rollover, spin-out and so on. Although the known NHTSA J-turn and Fish-hook steering maneuvers are applied for the vehicle performance assessment, they aren't enough to estimate other possible worst case scenarios. Therefore, it is crucial for us to verify the various worst cases including the existing severe steering maneuvers. This paper includes the procedure to search for other useful worst case based upon the existing worst case scenarios mentioned above and its application in simulation basis. The only human steering angle is selected as a design parameter here and optimized to maximize the index function to be expressed in terms of either roll angle or yaw rate. The obtained scenarios were enough to generate the worst case to meet NHTSA worst case definition (ex.2-inch wheel lift). Additionally, as an application, the worst case steering maneuver is acquired for the vehicle to operate with a simple ESP system. It has been concluded that the new procedure in this paper is adequate to create other feasible worst case scenarios for a vehicle system both with an intelligent safety control system and without it.

본 논문에서는 다중 빔 형성기법을 이용하여 다중 목표물들의 고각을 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 배열 소자로 수신되는 신호들을 디지털로 처리해 수신 빔을 스택 빔으로 만들고, 빔 형성기에서는 안테나 소자에 가중치를 적용함으로서 원하는 수신 빔을 생성 할 수 있다. 이때 스택 빔을 구현하기 위해서는 여러 개의 값비싼 위상천이기 필요하지만, 현재는 컴퓨터의 성능이 많이 향상되어 위상변위기 대신에 고속 푸리에 변환을 이용하여 다중스택 빔을 형성한다. 또한 수신기에서 원하는 방향으로 빔을 조향하기 위해서 빔 조향 오차 보정 기법을 적용하여 다중 빔의 지향성을 향상 시킨다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 고속 후리어 변환과 빔 조향오차 보정 기법에 근거를 둔 제안된 고각 추정방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 목표물 추정 면에서 우수함을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 5.8GHz ISM 대역(5.725GHz~5.825GHz)의 저가 3차원 빔 조향을 위한 단일급전 마이크로스트립 기생 배열 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 안테나는 단일 급전 능동소자와 가변 리액턴스 부하를 갖는 4개의 기생소자로 구성된다. 제작된 안테나의 빔 조향 범위는 가변 리액턴스 부하의 조절에 의해 방위각 ${\Phi}=0^{\circ}$, ${\Phi}=45^{\circ}$, ${\Phi}=90^{\circ}$, ${\Phi}=135^{\circ}$에서 ${\pm}28^{\circ}$의 3차원 빔 조향을 이룰 수 있었다. 빔 조향 범위 내에서 안테나의 최대이득은 7.23dBi~9.36dBi를 가지고, -10dB 이하 반사손실대역폭은 빔 조향각도에 상관없이 항상 5.8GHz ISM 대역을 포함하였다.
