Modeling and Control of Active Suspension System with Full-Car Wheels

This paper presents a modeling and control method of active suspension system with full-car model by using H$\infty$ control theory. The full-car model has seven degree of freedom including heaving, pitching and rolling motions. As the control method, H$\infty$ controller is designed so as to guarantee the robustness of closed loop system under the presence of uncertainties and disturbances. Active system with H$\infty$ controller can reduce the accelerations of the car-body in the heaving, pitching and rolling directions. The effectiveness of the controller is proved through simulation results in both time and frequency domains.
