Abstract: A motor driven power steering control method may include setting a virtual steering system model including a column connecting a steering wheel to a rack gear, determining a column stiffness torque using torsional displacement of the column in the set virtual steering system model, and determining a target steering torque based on the determined column stiffness torque.

Abstract: A vehicle may include a communicator configured to receive driver state information from a surrounding vehicle, a detector configured to obtain driving information related to surrounding vehicle, a driving assistance module configured to control at least one of a driving speed or a driving direction and a controller configured to determine whether a driver of the surrounding vehicle is in drowsiness state based on whether the received driver state information satisfies a predetermined condition and if the driver of the surrounding vehicle is determined as drowsiness state, control the driving assistance module to avoid the surrounding vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus configured for controlling starting of engine may include a clutch pedal including an ignition lock switch, a starter, a status detecting unit, an electronic clutch mounted between the engine and a transmission, a clutch controller configured to control coupling and releasing of the electronic clutch, check status of the electronic clutch and generate a clutch status data, and a vehicle controller configured to enter coasting running mode based on the vehicle status data, and, during the coasting running mode, operate the starter and restart the engine based on the clutch status data provided from the clutch controller and a switch status data of the ignition lock switch when a position value of an acceleration pedal included in the vehicle status data is equal to or greater than an acceleration reference value.

Abstract: A vehicle may include a driving unit configured to move the vehicle, a communicator configured to communicate with an external device and a controller configured to authenticate a temporary driver and allow temporary driving by the temporary driver in a response to a driver's input received through the communicator, wherein during the temporary driving, the controller limits output of the driving unit, and controls the driving unit to limit maximum speed of the vehicle, and stores driving record of the vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus of manufacturing an elastomeric cell frame for a fuel cell may include, as the apparatus of manufacturing the elastomeric cell frame including an insert in which a membrane electrode assembly and a gas diffusion layer have been bonded, and a sheet-like elastomeric frame made of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) integrated into an external area of the insert to form the unit cell of the fuel cell, a lower jig module accommodated so that the overlapping area, in which the insert and the elastomeric frame overlap at a predetermined area, is accommodated, and an upper jig module mounted above the lower jig module to provide heat and pressure to the overlapping area to thermally bond an interface between the insert and the elastomeric frame in the overlapping area.

Abstract: An evaporation gas active purge system may include a purge line of connecting a canister for absorbing an evaporation gas of a fuel tank to an intake pipe; a purge pump mounted on the purge line; a purge valve mounted on the purge line to be disposed between the purge pump and the intake pipe; a pressure sensor mounted on the purge line to be disposed between the purge pump and the purge valve; and a control unit of receiving a signal from the pressure sensor, and transmitting an operating signal to the purge pump and the purge valve, wherein the control unit controls the purge pump and the purge valve by an engine condition and a vehicle speed.

Abstract: A heat pump system for a vehicle cools or warms a battery module by use of one chiller in which a coolant and a refrigerant exchange heat such that the system may be simplified, and heating efficiency may be improved by selectively using an external air heat source and waste heat of an electrical component in a heating mode of the vehicle.
