Control system for operating air vehicle for urban air mobility

A control system for operating an air vehicle for urban air mobility (UAM), the control system comprising:

• an altitude designating device configured to designate flight altitude of the air vehicle;
• a steering wheel configured to control lateral movement of the air vehicle at the designated altitude;
• an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal configured to control acceleration and deceleration of the air vehicle in a longitudinal direction at the designated altitude;
• a steering feedback actuator configured to generate reaction torque for providing haptic feedback to the steering wheel;
• a pedal simulator configured to generate reaction torque for providing haptic feedback to the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal;
• and
• a controller configured to perform control to allow the steering feedback actuator to generate the reaction torque for the haptic feedback to the steering wheel and control to allow the pedal simulator to generate the reaction torque for the haptic feedback to the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal based on preset flight information and driving information of the air vehicle,
• wherein the controller comprises:
• a steering angle and lateral acceleration proportion control part configured to generate a reaction torque command for the steering feedback actuator on the basis of information about a steering angle of the steering wheel and velocity and acceleration of the air vehicle;
• a pedal haptic feedback control part configured to generate a reaction torque command for the pedal simulator on the basis of a pedal input value and deceleration generated in response to the pedal input value;
• a roll rate proportion control part configured to generate a reaction torque command for the steering feedback actuator based on information about the velocity and a roll rate of the air vehicle;
• a yaw rate proportion control part configured to generate a reaction torque command for the steering feedback actuator based on information about the velocity and a yaw rate of the air vehicle;
• a damping control part configured to perform damping control in proportion to steering angular velocity for the steering feedback actuator;
• and
• a restoration control part configured to control a restoration velocity of the steering wheel to a predetermined level in proportion to the velocity and the steering angle of the air vehicle,
• wherein the reaction torque command generated by the roll rate proportion control part and the reaction torque command generated by the yaw rate proportion control part are issued to a motor to provide the haptic feedback to the steering wheel, and
• wherein the pedal haptic feedback control part comprises:
• a target reaction torque generation map configured to generate target reaction torque based on the pedal input value of the brake pedal and the deceleration of the air vehicle;
• and
• a brake stroke limiter configured to generate reaction torque for mechanical pedal stroke limitation,
• wherein the pedal haptic feedback control part is configured to order reaction torque, which is obtained by addition of the target reaction torque generated from the target reaction torque generation map and the limitation reaction torque generated from the brake stroke limiter, to the pedal simulator.
