Control Algorithms of Active Suspension Systems for Ride Comfort Improvement

승차감 향상을 위한 액티브서스펜션의 제어알고리즘

Two control algorithms of active suspension system for improving ride quality are described and their effectiveness is assessed using a quarter car model. Optimal control approach demonstrates great flexibility to meet various running conditions of a vehicle. However, in order to fully utilize the power of optimal control apporach, accurate estimation of the state variables is essential. Simple, yet effective sky-hook algorithm seems to be well suited for real application because of its much relaxed requirements on sensing the stste variables and relative easiness to implment.
