During crash of a vehicle, most of the kinetic energy of the driver is absorbed by the steering system. The deformation characteristics of the steering system has significant effects on the injury of the driver. A part of the energy is absorbed by the steering wheel and another part by the collapsable steering column. It is believed that strength distribution between the wheel and the column has an important effect on the injury of the driver. A design criterion is suggested for steering wheels for maximum protection of drivers. Tagushi method is used to analyse the effects of design parameters.

본 연구는 자동 조향 트랙터용 비례제어밸브의 국산화를 위한 기초연구로써 다양한 트랙터 조향 조건에 따른 조향 비례제어밸브 동특성 계측 및 분석을 위해 수행되었다. 동특성 데이터는 유량 및 압력 계측 시스템을 통해 수집되었으며, 수집된 유량 및 압력 데이터를 이용하여 동력을 분석하였다. 실험 조건은 트랙터 엔진 회전속도와 조향각을 주요 변수로 선정하였으며, 실험은 우레탄 노면 조건에서 수행되었다. 그 결과, 트랙터 엔진 회전속도 및 조향각이 증가함에 따라 비례제어밸브 유량, 압력, 동력이 모두 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 동일한 엔진회전속도에서 조향각이 증가함에 따라, 유량, 압력, 동력은 각각 최대 190%, 172%, 273% 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 동일한 조향각에서 엔진회전속도가 증가함에 따라, 유량, 압력, 동력은 각각 최대 161%, 122%, 168% 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이를 통해, 조향각이 엔진 회전속도보다 비례제어밸브의 동특성에 더 높은 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

When an automatic course-keeping is concerned, as is quite popular in modem navigation, the closed-loop steering system consists of autopilot device, power unit (or telemotor unit), steering gear, magnetic or gyro compass and ship dynamics. In order to estimate automatic steering system of ships in open seas. we need to know the characteristics of each component of the system, and also to know the characteristics of disturbance to ship dynamics. In this paper, I provide calculation method of imposing irregular disturbance to autopilot navigation system of the ship in open seas, and also show calculation examples about fishing boat. The disturbance consists of the irregular wave and the fluctuating component of wind. Finally, The disturbances are calculated in terms of equivalent yaw angular velocity. Each spectrum and time history of disturbance are reasonably evaluated.

Equipments of passenger cars with modern technologies are gaining their importance. Related with such developments, the four-wheel steering system (4WS) was introduced recently to a few passenger cars in the market. The most important research goal on this new steering system is improvement of active safety, in other words, improvement of handling characteristics of vehicle stability and maneuverability. This paper presents a computer-based study about the effects of 4WS system on the vehicle handling characteristics. A simple bicycle model of 2 d.o.f. is used for the development of four wheel control algorithms of 4WS system, and the rear wheel control strategies are applied to a complex vehicle model of 16 d.o.f. for simulation of selected ISO-driving tests. The 4WS systems, which reduce the sideslip angle at the mass center of vehicle to almost zero, show much improved handling characteristics compared to that of the conventional 2WS system. These 4WS systems, however, result in vehicles with eigen-steer characteristics of extreme understeer behaviour.

Articulated vehicles which have a pivoting joint allowing the vehicle to rotate more easily are difficult to turn the curves because of their long length. In order to review operational safety, turning characteristics related to geometric design should be investigated when articulated vehicles run on the road which can be interfered with other vehicles. The vehicles to review the turning characteristics are the normal articulated bus in Seoul with FWS(front wheel steering) and new bimodal tram with AWS(all wheel steering). Steering characteristics and geometric design were investigated such as turning radius, offtracking, swept path width and swingout. The results were reviewed with respect to the standards of vehicle safety and road design.

본 논문에서는 탐색기용 AESA 레이더에 적용할 수 있는 배열소자 설계에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. AESA 레이더에 적용하기 위한 안테나는 전자 빔조향 특성을 확보하기 위해 배열 안테나에 적용할 최적의 복사소자를 선정하고, 설계 시 빔조향 특성을 고려하여야 한다. 특히 광각 빔조향 특성을 충족하기 위해 광각 임피던스 매칭(WAIM:Wide Angle Impedance Matching) 기법을 활용하여 광각 조향 시 발생할 수 있는 음영 지역(Scan Blindness region)을 최소화하여야 한다. 이처럼 시스템 운용의 안정성 확보가 AESA 레이더의 중요한 설계 고려 사항이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 AESA 레이더 안테나 장치에 적용되는 복사소자 특성을 개선하기 위해 복사소자 끝단에 WAIM을 적용하고, 시스템의 안정적 운용 척도인 능동 반사 계수 성능 변화를 검토하였다. 최종 성능 결과는 시뮬레이션 데이터를 수학적으로 합성하여 제시한 방안의 유효성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 IMT-2000 기지국용 빔 조향 다이폴 위상배열 안테나 시스템을 설계하였다. 본 논문에서 설계한 빔 조향 다이폴 위상배열 안테나 시스템은 크게 안테나부와 빔 조향 제어부로 구성된다. 안테나부는 광대역 특성을 위해 기본 복사소자로 평판형 다이폴을 제안하고, 설계하였으며, 지향성 복사패턴을 위해 평판형 다이폴을 8×8로 배열하였다. 또한 다이폴 수직배열 8소자 전력분포를 위한 수직 전력 분배기를 설계하였다. 빔 조향 제어부에서는 다이폴 수평배열 8소자 전력분포를 위한 수평 전력 분배기와, 수평방향(7방향)에 빔 틸트를 위한 4비트 위상 변위기와 구동회로를 설계하였다. 설계된 안테나 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해 실제 제작하고 복사특성을 측정하였다. 측정견과 각 제어신호에 따라 수평 빔 틸트가 일어남을 확인할 수 있었으며, 측정된 복사특성은 설계목표에 거의 근접한 것으로 나타났다.

This paper considers the steering characteristics of a four-row tracked vehicle crawling on extremely cohesive soft soil, where each side is composed of two parallel tracks. The four-row tracked vehicle (FRTV) is assumed to be a rigid body with 6-DOF. A dynamic analysis program for the tracked vehicle is developed using the Newmark-${\beta}$ method based on an incremental-iterative scheme. A terra-mechanics model of an extremely cohesive soft soil is implemented in the form of the relationships of the normal pressure to the sinkage, the shear resistance to the shear displacement, and the dynamic sinkage to the shear displacement. In order to investigate the steering characteristics of the four-row tracked vehicle, a series of dynamic simulations is conducted with respect to the distance between the left and right tracks (pitch), steering ratios, driving velocity, reference track velocity, lengths of the tracks, and properties of the cohesive soft soil. Through these numerical simulations, the possibility of using a kinematic steering ratio is explored.

This paper introduces an automatic steering system for straight traveling capable of being mounted on drivable agricultural machinery which user can handle it such as a tractor, a transplant, etc. The modular automatic steering device proposed in the paper is composed of RTK GNSS, IMU, HMI, hydraulic valve, and wheel sensor. The path generation method of the automatic steering system is obtained from two location information(latitude and longitude on each point) measured by GNSS in advance. From HMI, a straight path(AB line) can be created by connecting latitude and longitude on each point and the device makes the machine able to follow the path. During traveling along the reference path, it acquires the real time position data every sample time(0.1s), compares the reference with them and calculates the lateral deviation. The values of deviation are used to control the steering angle of the machine using hydraulic valve mounted on the axle of front wheel. In this paper, Pure Pursuit algorithm is applied used in autonomous vehicles frequently. For the analysis of traveling characteristics, field tests were executed about these conditions: velocity of 2, 3, 4km/h which is applied to general agricultural work and ground surface of solid(asphalt) and weak condition(soil) such as farmland. In the case of weak ground state, two experiments were executed about no-load(without work) and load(with work such as plowing). The maximum average deviations were presented 2.44cm, 7.32cm, and 11.34cm during traveling on three ground conditions : asphalt, soil without load and with load(plowing).

Recently, four-wheel steering systems have been developed and studied as one of the latest automotive technologies for improving the handling characteristics of a vehicle. In much of the proposed four-wheel steering systems, the side slip angle at the vehicle's center of gravity is maintained at zero. This approach allows the greater maneuverability at low speed by means of counter-phase rear steering and the improved stability at high speed through same-phase rear steering. In this paper, the effects of several four-wheel steering systems are studied and discussed on the responsiveness and stability of the vehicle by using the linear analysis. Especially, the effects of the cornering stiffnesses of both front and rear wheels are investigated on the yaw velocity gain and critical speed of the vehicle.
