As for the elastic layout of the direct-driven electric wheel system, the electromechanical coupling between the electromagnetic excitation of in-wheel driving motor and the weak damping system gives rise to negative vibration issues, which further deteriorate the dynamic performance of the electric vehicle. This paper presents a multi-objective optimization method for active suspension system to solve these issues by developing an integrated in-wheel motor electrical vehicles model. The unbalanced electromagnetic excitation from in-wheel driving motor is investigated by means of analytical and finite element methods. The Pareto solution set of optimal parameters are generated by the multi-objective particle swarm optimization method, and a comparison in vehicle dynamic performances is made to verify the targeted optimization method. The simulation results indicate that the optimized active suspension system attenuates the sensitivity of the vehicle system to electromagnetic excitation with a satisfactory balancing between vehicle ride comfort and stability as well as active suspension utilization.

This paper uses a quarter model of an automobile having passive and semiactive suspension systems to develop a scheme for an optimal suspension controller. Semi-active suspension is preferred over passive and active suspensions with regard to optimum performance within the constraints of weight and operational cost. A fuzzy logic controller is incorporated into the semi-active suspension system. It is able to handle nonlinearities through the use of heuristic rules. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is applied to determine the optimal gain parameters for the fuzzy logic controller, while maintaining within the normalized ranges of the controller inputs and output. The performance of resulting optimized system is compared with different systems that use various control algorithms, including a conventional passive system, choice options of feedback signals, and damping coefficient limits. Also, the optimized semi-active suspension system is evaluated for its performance in relation to variation in payload. Furthermore, the systems are compared with respect to the attributes of road handling and ride comfort. In all the simulation studies it is found that the optimized fuzzy logic controller surpasses the other types of control.
