An optimal preview control of a vehicle suspension system traveling on a rough road is studied. A three-dimensional seven degree-of-freedom car-riding model and several descriptions of the road surface roughness heights, including haversine (hole/bump) and stochastic filtered white noise models, are used in the analysis. It is assumed that contact-less sensors affixed to the vehicle front bumper measure the road surface height at some distances in the front of the car. The suspension systems are optimized with respect to ride comfort and road holding preferences including accelerations of the sprung mass, tire deflection, suspension rattle space and control force. The performance and power demand of active, active and delay, active and preview systems are evaluated and are compared with those for the passive system. The results show that the optimal preview control improves all aspects of the vehicle suspension performance while requiring less power. Effects of variation of preview time and variations in the road condition are also examined.

Dynamic simulation, based on modelling, has a significant role during to the process of vehicle development. It is especially important in the first design stages, when relevant parameters are to be defined. Shock absorber, as an executive part of a semi-active suspension system, is exposed to thermal loads which can lead to its damage and degradation of characteristics. Therefore, this paper attempts to analyze a conversion of mechanical work into heat energy by use of a method of dynamic simulation. The issue of heat dissipation from the shock absorber has not been taken into consideration.

Vehicle suspension design can be simplified by using compressible fluid (CF) based struts. One single CF strut can provide both spring and damping force instead of two independent components of spring and shock absorber in a traditional vehicle suspension system. With the application of a digital displacement pump motor (DDPM) to modulate the fluid amount in CF struts, a hydraulic based active suspension can be developed. Each vehicle suspension corner (i.e., CF strut) can be linked to (at least) one cylinder of a multiple cylinder DDPM. Each cylinder has two poppet valves to allow exchanging flow between strut and accumulator. Those valves are actively controlled according to a properly designed control strategy. Thus DDPM can regulate the fluid flow to/from the CF struts to create a desired strut force at each suspension corner. This paper focuses on elaborating this novel active suspension using CFS and DDPM, and then presents a model that can well capture the macro-behavior of this new active suspension.
