Active suspension control for vehicles is developed to improve both ride comfort and steering stability which are in trade off relation. In this study, the modal sky-hook controller for 7 D. O. F. model is proposed to resolve the problems such as computaional power restriction and uncertainties in modeling of systems and environments. Modal sky-hook controller reduces the coupling between the modes to be controlled. The simulation result for ride comfort shows that the perform ance of the proposed controller matches that of the optimal controller. Systematic method of determining its gain is proposed. The model sky-hook controller shows the robustness to road irregularity and modeling error.

This is Presents experimental results of a force tracking controller for a quarter-car suspension system. The active suspension system was decomposed into two loops. At the main loop, the desired force signal is calculate by using a standard LQ design process. The Time Delay Control(TDC) design technique is then used to design the force controller such that the desired force signal is achieved in a robust manner when actuator or other plant uncertainties are present. The ADAMS controls module was used to realize the joint simulation of ADAMS and MATLAB, of which the results showed that the TDC strategy is reasonable and feasible.

In this study a control law and performance potential of semi-active suspensions for a tractor/semi-trailer have been investigated. The control law for airbag semi-active suspensions modeled in this study is developed using feedback linearization and Linear Quadratic (LQ) optimal control method. Inherent nonlinearity of the airbag suspensions has been considered in the control law development. It has been shown that the proposed semi-active control law provides better performance than that of well known sky-hook damping control strategy.

This paper deals with an observer-based preview control for semi-active suspensions. An Observer has been designed such that all the state variables and road inputs can be estimated from accelerations. Since the road input to the rear wheels is a delayed version of that to the front wheels, it can be obtained by estimating the road input to the front wheels without preview the estimated values of state and the estimated road input has been investigated. The results show that the observer-based control can provide good performance. The observer-based preview control improves the dynamic behavior of the rear axle and that of pitch motion compared to the LQ optimal control.

In this paper, a hydropneumatic modeling and dynamic analysis of a heavy truck semi-active cabin air suspension system is presented. Semi-active cabin air suspension system improves driver's ride comfort by controlling the damping characteristics in accordance with driving situation. So it can reduce vibration between truck frame and cabin. Semi-active cabin air suspension system is consist of air spring, leveling valve and CDC shock absorber, and full cabin system are mathematically modelled using AMESim software. Simulation results of components and full cabin system are compared with experimental data of components and test results of a cabin using 6 axis simulation table. It is found that the simulation results are in good agreements with test results, and the hydropneumatic model can be used well to predict dynamic characterics of heavy truck semi-active cabin air suspension system.

Recently, the intelligent service robot is applied for the purpose of guiding the building or providing information to the visitors of the public institution. The intelligent robot which is on development has a sensor to recognize its location at the bottom of it. Four wheels which are arranged in the form of a lozenge support the weight of the components and structures of the robot. The operating environment of this robot is restricted at the uneven place because the driving part and internal structure is designed in one united body. The impact from the ground is transferred to the internal equipments and structures of the robot. This continuous impact can cause the unusual state of the precise components and weaken the connection between each structural part. In this paper, a suspension system which can be applied to the intelligent robot is designed. The dynamic model of the robot is created, and the driving characteristics of the actual robot and the robot with suspension are compared. The road condition which the robot can operate is expanded by the application of the suspension system. Additionally, the suspension system is optimized to reduce the impact to the robot components.

An in-wheel motor vehicle is a type of car that is equipped with an electric motor for each wheel. It is possible to acquire vehicle stability through a seperate driving torque control per wheel, since it directly generates the driving torque via the wheel motors. However, the vehicle ride comfort and road holding performance worsen depending on the increase of the wheel weights. In order to compensate for the impaired performance, an integrated chassis control system of the rear in-wheel motor vehicle is proposed. The proposed integrated chassis control system is composed of a driving torque control system, a semi-active suspension system, and an ESC system. According to the vehicle dynamic simulation of an in-wheel motor vehicle equipped with the integrated chassis control system, it is found that the system can improve the driving stability, ride comfort, and driving efficiency of the in-wheel motor vehicle.

The performances of a vehicle active suspension system with an optimal variable structure controller are compared to those of passive suspension system and active suspension systems with sky-hook and optimal controllers. The quater car model has a 2 DOF which accounts for vertical motions of a sprung and a unsprung masses. The transient responses are analyzed when a vehicle passing through a bump with a constant speed and the frequency responses are analyzed for white noise input at wheel. Particulary, RMS responses are also analyzed. It is shown that the optimal variable structure controller gives better performance of the vehicle active suspensio system than an optimal and a sky-hook controller.

The most important parameter for hydraulic active suspension system is to sustain desirable vehicle maneuvering stability and ride comfort without increasing consumption power. The performance of hydraulic active suspension system depends on damping force of body damping valve and piston damping valve. Hydraulic actuator design and damping valve parameter selection are essential and basic procedure to design hydraulic active suspension system. This paper is on computer simulation with use of mathematical model that was delivered from dynamic characteristic of hydraulic actuator, as know basic damping characteristics of hydraulic active suspension system. The aim of this paper is to select the system parameter that affect mainly hydraulic active suspension, and identify the validity on the system parameter selection.
