In this article, a type-2 fuzzy interval controller is proposed to solve the nonlinear control problems of semi-active suspension system. A suspension model with two degrees of freedom and A fuzzy approach for controller synthesis were proposed. The performance of the IT2FLC-based semi-active vehicle suspension system in terms of sprung mass displacement, suspension deflection and tire deflection are compared to the homologous fuzzy type-1 controller (T1FLC), and to the passive suspension system conventional using MATLAB / SIMULINK software for simulation and controller design. The vehicle parameters, called suspension deflection and speed of suspended mass are given as inputs for both controllers. The Csemi control signal is the variable damping coefficient. Inputs and outputs are presented by triangular membership functions. Mamdani inference system is used, along with a Karnik-Mendel algorithm to locate the center of gravity in reduction type for IT2FLC controller. Simulation results show that IT2FLC-based semi-active suspension system outperforms T1FLC and passive suspension system. Thus, they show a major improvement in control signal i.e. IT2FLC controller generates a lower damping coefficient than T1FLC controller. In addition, a remarkable reduction in signal energy by IT2FLC compared to same semi-active suspension system with T1FLC.

The main purpose of vehicle suspension system is to isolate the vehicle main body from any road geometrical irregularity in order to improve the passengers ride comfort and to maintain good handling stability. The present work aim at designing a control system for an active suspension system to be applied in today’s automotive industries. The design implementation involves construction of a state space model for quarter car with two degree of freedom and a development of full state-feedback controller. The performance of the active suspension system was assessed by comparing it response with that of the passive suspension system. Simulation using Matlab/Simulink environment shows that, even at resonant frequency the active suspension system produces a good dynamic response and a better ride comfort when compared to the passive suspension system.

In order to suppress the lateral vibration of high-speed train caused by track irregularity, the delayed feedback control is employed to suppress the vibration of the semi-active suspension system. The 1/4 vehicle mathematical model of semi-active suspension system is established. The amplitude of the bodys lateral vibration is large at some values of external excitation frequency for the passive suspension system, and it could be suppressed at some values of time delay, while the vibration of the bodys lateral vibration may be deteriorated at other values of time delay. The results show that the amplitude of the bodys lateral vibration could be suppressed about 50% when the suitable values of damping coefficient and time delay are chosen by comparing with the passive suspension system. The analytical results of this paper are in good agreement with the numerical simulation.

The objective of this paper is to design an efficient control scheme for car suspension system. The purpose of suspension system in vehicles is to get more comfortable riding and good handling with road vibrations. A nonlinear hydraulic actuator is connected to passive suspension system in parallel with damper. The Particles Swarm Optimization is used to tune a PID controller for active suspension system. The designed controller is applied for quarter car suspension system and result is compared with passive suspension system model and input road profile. Simulation results show good performance for the designed controller.

In this paper, fuzzy logic is used to control active suspension of one-quarter car model. The main role of a car suspension system is to improve the ride comfort and to better the handling property. It usually consists of a spring and a damper to improve the properties of suspension system. The fuzzy logic method is one of the most active research and developments areas on artificial and intelligence at the present time, particularly in the automobile industry. One quarter of car if modeled by springs, masses, dampers and force actuator and the state space equations are derived by lagrangian method. The ride comfort is improved by means of the reduction of the body acceleration caused by the car body when road disturbance from uneven road surfaces, pavement point etc. act on the tires of running car. Here, a logic fuzzy controller is designed in which, the number of rule bases are reduced in comparison with some traditional one which have been introduced in other papers. At the end, a comparison of active suspension fuzzy control and traditional passive suspension is shown using MATLAB simulations. Results show that, active suspension improves the ride comfort by reducing acceleration, compared with the performance of passive suspension.

In recent years, the use of active control mechanisms in active suspension systems has attracted considerable attention. The main objective of this research is to develop a mathematical model of an active suspension system that is subjected to excitation from different road profiles and control it using H∞ technique for a quarter car model to improve the ride comfort and road handling. Comparison between passive and active suspension systems is performed using step, sinusoidal and random road profiles. The performance of the H∞ controller is compared with the passive suspension system. It is found that the car body acceleration, suspension deflection and tyre deflection using active suspension system with H∞ technique is better than the passive suspension system.

Using the multi-body simulation software SIMPACK as platform, a whole CHANGHE mini-car model was built. A fuzzy controller was adopted based on MATLAB/SIMULINK software to control the full car model. Pulse input running test simulation was carried out under co-simulation of SIMAT. The results showed that compared to passive suspension, with the speed 40km/h, the body vertical acceleration, body pitch angular velocity, standard deviation and peak were respectively decreased by 10.76%, 18.03% and 20.48%, 12.13%. The semi-active suspension system with fuzzy controller had better performance than passive suspension, reduced vibration effectively and improved automotive ride comfort.

The suspension system is one of the most important parts of the automobile. The suspension system has an important influence on the ride comfort and maneuverable stability of the automobile. As structure parameters of traditional passive suspension cannot adaptively change with external conditions, the improvement of dynamic performance is difficult. Tow-DOF and four-DOF suspension of vehicle model is set up in this paper. Under random profiled road input simulated by using Runge-Kutta method, the control laws of fuzzy controller are adjusted by using different weight coefficients and use Matlab software to simulate the performances. Then, the results are compared and the performances are analyzed between passive suspension and semi-active suspension. The simulation results show the semi-active suspension is more effective for decreasing the vibration of vehicle body than the passive suspension, and designed fuzzy controller is effective for controlling the active controller of the semi-active suspension.

The optimal control design of the ground-vehicle active suspension system is presented. The active suspension system is to improve the vehicle ride comfort by isolating vibrations induced by the road profile and vehicle velocity. The vehicle suspension system is approached by a quarter car model. Dynamic equations of the system are derived by applying Newton’s second law. The control law of the active suspension system is designed using linear quadratic regulator (LQR) method. Performance evaluation is done by benchmarking the active suspension system to a passive suspension system. Both suspension systems are simulated in computer. The simulation results show that the active suspension system significantly improves the vehicle ride comfort of the passive suspension system by reducing 50.37% RMS of vertical displacement, 45.29% RMS of vertical velocity, and 1.77% RMS of vertical acceleration.

A semi-active suspension system using Magnetorheological (MR) damper overcomes all the inherent limits of passive and active suspension systems and combines the advantages of both. This paper gives a concise introduction to the suspension system of a passenger vehicle which is presented along with the analysis of semi-active suspension system using MR fluid dampers based on Bingham model.
