In this paper, we have developed communication modules for ubiquitous transportation sensor network (u-TSN). The developed module can be used for intelligent transportation services. The developed systems are based on IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g technologies for vehicle and infrastructure systems, respectively. We have found that the throughput for the developed systems is at maximum around 15 Mbps. It is reduced to 10 Mbps at a long distance and high speed condition. The performance is enough to support traffic control services in dense traffic condition.

The purpose of this study is to extract typical body shapes of Korean adults based on the three-dimensional Korean anthropometric data measured through 5th national anthropometric survey and to examine the suitability of the 3-D human shape data for the interior packaging. 36 three-dimensional anthropometric variables related to the design of vehicle interior were considered for the appraisal of typical body shapes. Four major factors were extracted by the factor analysis and factor scores were calculated for all subjects. Typical or standard drivers of Korean adults were selected by the minimum deviation criteria for the four factor scores with respect to 5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles, respectively. Typical drivers of Korean adults were visualized by the CATIA-HUMAN program due to the absence of proper application software for three-dimensionally scanned human body data. There are considerable differences between the anthropometric data of Korean adults and those provided by CATIA-HUMAN program, which shows that the modeling data provided by CATIA-HUMAN should not be directly applied to the ergonomic evaluation for the vehicle design. This suggests the necessity for the development of suitable software for scanned human shape data. It is also expected that the anthropometric data of typical drivers extracted from this study help design package layouts and improve the suitability of ergonomic evaluation for Korean customers.

As underwater robotic vehicles (URVs) become attractive for more sophisticated underwater tasks, the demand of high performance in terms of accuracy and dexterity has been increased. An autonomous underwater robotic vehicle, ODIN (Omni-Directional Intelligent Navigator) was designed and built at the Autonomous Systems Laboratory of the University of Hawaii in 1991. Since 1991, various studies were conducted on ODIN and have contributed to the advancement in underwater robotics. Its refurbished model ODIN II was based on VxWorks in VMEbus. Recently, ODIN was born again as a PC based system, ODIN III with unique features such as new vehicle system software architecture with an objective-oriented concept, a graphical user interface, and an independent and modular structure using a Dynamic Linking Library (DLL) based on the Windows operating system. ODIN III software architecture offers an ideal environment where various studies for advanced URV technology can be conducted. This paper describes software architecture of ODIN III and presents initial experimental results of fine motion control on ODIN III.

In this paper, a path navigation algorithm through use of a sensor platform is proposed. The sensor platform is composed of two electric motors which make panning and tilting motions. An algorithm for computing a real path and an obstacle length is developed by using a scanning method that controls rotation of the sensors on the platform. An Autonomous Robot Vehicle(ARV) can perceive the given path by adapting this algorithm. A sensor scanning method is applied to the sensor platform for using small numbers of sensor. The path navigation algorithm is composed of two parts. One is to perceive a path pattern, the other is used to avoid an obstacle. An optimal controller is designed for tracking the reference path which is generated by perceiving the path pattern. The ARV is operated using the optimal controller and the path navigation algorithm. Based on the results of actual experiments, this algorithm for an ARV proved sufficient for path navigation by small number of sensors and for a low cost controller by using the sensor platform with a scanning method.

Recently, there is a big issue of downsizing on brake system according to fuel efficiency and regenerative braking cooperation control. Especially, small cars have improved in a variety ways such as electric vehicle and smart car compared to previous small cars. So, small brake system is strongly required in the car industry. A new small brake system for light compact vehicles was proposed in this paper. For this system, the solid type disc and caliper were newly developed. And the important design factors were considered to reduce brake size. First, we calculated the temperature rise of disc through heat capacity formula and CAE analysis. Second, we analyzed the housing and carrier stiffness of caliper to select the reasonable condition. Finally, the superiorities of the developed brake system were verified by heat capacity, consumption liquid level, braking feeling, judder, wear test and regenerative braking cooperation control analysis. A developed brake system is expected to be useful for brake system of light compact platform.

최근 EV(Electric Vehicle), PHEV(Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), HEV(Hybrid Electric Vehicle) 등 친환경 차량의 개발 및 출시가 진행되고 있고 이들 친환경 차량의 궁극적 목적은 엔진과 배터리 혹은 배터리 단독 사용에 의한 고연비, 배기가스 배출 저감 등을 목적으로 하고 있다. 하지만 기존 내연기관 차량과 비교시 차량가격이 높게 형성되어 시장 활성화는 다소 시간이 소요될 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 친환경 차량 기술은 신차에만 국한되어 적용되고 있고 현재 도로상에서 운행중인 대부분의 차량은 기존의 저연비, 다량의 배기가스 배출문제를 여전히 내포하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 대한 대안으로 기존의 차량 보조배터리에 지능형 배터리 센서(IBS, Intelligent Battery Sensor)를 장착하고 이를 통해 ISG(Idle Stop&Go)을 수행하는 Mild HEV 형태의 차량이 개발되고 있다.

The luxury car market has been steadily growing for the last 10 years and it might keep expanding in the future. Furthermore, it is expected to be a very competitive market because luxury cars are considred to reflect the technology level of motor companies. For this reason, it is very important for motor companies to improve performances of luxury vehicles. However, it takes years for the companies to increase the technology level for the high performances. In this paper, we aim to analyze the technologies for high quality brake perfomances through investigation of two luxury vehicle models and develop a new high performance brake system. First, we found out a variety of effective factors for the high performances. Second, we conducted the brake performance analysis to figure out the relationship between brake effort and brake feeling. Finally, we develped the new brake system using carbon ceramic composite materials to satisfy the high quality brake performances.

In this paper, a low cost bridgeless interleaved power factor correction topology for electric vehicle charger application is proposed. With the proposed topology the number of switches, inductors, current sensors and associated circuits can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the system as compared to the conventional bridgeless PFC circuit. The reduced input current ripple by the proposed interleaved topology makes it suitable for high power applications such as electric vehicle chargers since it can reduce the size of the inductor core and the Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) problem. In the proposed topology only one current sensor is required. All the boost inductor currents can be reconstructed by sampling the output current and used to control the input current. Therefore the typical problem caused by the unequal current gain of each current sensor inherently does not exist in the proposed topology. In addition the current sharing between converters can be achieved more accurately and the high frequency distortion is decreased. The performance of the proposed converter is verified by the experimental results with a prototype of 6.6kW bridgeless interleaved PFC circuit.

DA-3002, an authentic recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH), was examined for mutagenicity in the reverse mutation test on bacteria, in the chromosomal aberration test on cultured mammalian cells and in the micronucleous test on mice. The reverse mutation test was performed by a plate incorporation method with or without a metabolic activation system(S9 Mix) using Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100, TA1535, TA98 and TA1537. DA-3002 did not significantly increase revertant colonies in any of the test strains under any conditions at dose levels ranging from 0.0125 to 0.4 IU/plate, compared with the vehicle control. In the chromosomal aberration test using cultured Chinese hamster lung(CHL) cells, DA-3002 did not increase the number of aberrant cells in the presence or absence of S9 mix at concentrations of 0.0125 IU/mι to 0.4 IU/mι, compared with the vehicle control. In the micronucleus test, male ICR mice were given DA-3002 intraperitoneally at a dose level of 20, 40 and 80 lU/kg. The incidence of bone marrow micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in the DA-3002 treated mice did not differ from that of the vehicle control. These results indicate that DA-3002 doesn't have mutagenic potential under the present test conditions.
