AbstractThe essence of the undertaken topic is application of the continuous sky-hook control strategy and the Extended Kalman Filter as the state observer in the 2S1 tracked vehicle suspension system. The half-car model of this suspension system consists of seven logarithmic spiral springs and two magnetorheological dampers which has been described by the Bingham model. The applied continuous sky-hook control strategy considers nonlinear stiffness characteristic of the logarithmic spiral springs. The control is determined on estimates generated by the Extended Kalman Filter. Improve of ride comfort is verified by comparing simulation results, under the same driving conditions, of controlled and passive vehicle suspension systems.

Based on a half-vehicle model, an algorithm is proposed for a Kalman filter optimal active vehicle suspension system using the correlation between front and rear wheel road inputs. In this paper, two main issues were investigated, i.e. the estimation accuracy of the Kalman filter for state variables, and the potential improvements from wheelbase preview. Simulations showed good estimations from the state observer. However, if the wheelbase preview algorithm is incorporated, the estimation accuracy for the additional states significantly decreases as vehicle speed and the corresponding measurement noises increase. Significant benefits from wheelbase preview were further proved, and the available performance improvements of the rear wheel station could be up to 35 per cent. Because of the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, and no additional cost for measurements and sensing needs, wheelbase preview can be a promising algorithm for Kalman filter active suspension system designs.
