In this connection, as the focal point of interest, the chassis technology on next generation automobiles and mobility systems determines the driving safety and riding comfort of the vehicle. Especially, in recent years, traffic accidents have killed 8000-10000 people a year, and the number of traffic accidents have increased dramatically up to one million a year. Nowadays, a reorientation of vehicle chassis development is transitively changed from developing passive safety system, since many researchers pay more attention and put greater emphasis on active accident avoidance/prevention (active safety). This trend will decisively influence the development of vehicles and mobility systems in the future. For realizing the sustainable mobility for human-coexistence, the following research topics are being conducted. (1) Total Chassis Control Management – a mechatronics vehicle with high-technology sensing and actuators heading to the intelligent chassis control system (2) Driving Assistance System – in order to support/cooperate the driver�fs steering/braking/accelerating maneuvers and prevent the vehicle from collisions and unintended roadway departure. (3) Driver Behavior Modeling and The Recognition of Driver Intentions – to make the control system intervene the vehicle motion appropriately with timing and amount of assist maneuver, and thus more friendly to human.
