An automotive suspension system generally behaves like a low frequency band-pass filter(0.5 - 10 Hz). Passengers are very sensitive to this frequency range in terms of ride quality and road holding ability. In this paper, a LQG/ LTR controller is suggested to improve the ride quality and road holding ability in the specified frequency rage. It has been found by numerical simulation that the ride quality and road holding ability can be improved in the frequency ranges of 0.5 - 3.0 Hz and 0.3 - 2.1 Hz respectively. In addition, a new approach using root locus to evaluate the stability robustness of the active suspension system is studied. It is shown that the stability robustness of the LQG/LTR controller designed in this paper is improved, compared to the passive system.

The dynamic model of the suspension system is developed by using both sky-hook control and output feedback control techniques. based on the performance sensitivity index, Many vehicles use sky-hook control theory operated with only one sensor, due to relatively low cost and easy implementation. On the other hand, output feedback control implemented with state variables has difficulties in measuring such as tire deflection, etc.

In this paper, we propose a LQR(Linear Quadratic Regulator) controller design for the active suspension using two-degree-of-freedom quarter-car model. We can improve the inherent suspension problem, the tradeoff between ride quality and suspension travel by selecting appropriate weights in the LQR-objective function. Because any definite rules for selecting weights do not exist, we replace the designer´s trial and error with the optimization-algorithm, ES(Evolution Strategy). Using the ES, we can find the proper control gains for selected frequencies, which have major effects on the vibrations of the vehicle´s state variables.

In this paper, a composite controller cosisted of bandpass feedback controller and LQG/LTR controller is applied to a quarter-car model moving on a randomly profiled road. The LQG/LTR controller is used to achieve a design transfer toop. A bandpass feedback controller is adopted to eliminate the response due to the disturbance, which generally can not be measured, confined within an interested frequence range. The random road profile considered as colored noise is shaped from white noise by use of shaping filter. The performance of the composite control system is compared with that of an LQG/LTR control system.

This paper presents the performance of a full vehicle MR suspension system at different tire pressure. The pressure of tire is related to tire stiffness, which is significantly affects the performance of suspension system. Therefore, in this research, the effectiveness of tire pressure on full vehicle MR suspension is evaluated. As a first step, the characteristic of tire with respect to pressure is experimentally tested and modeled. After that, the governing equation of MR damper and full vehicle MR suspension system are derived. The skyhook controller is implemented and the vibration control performance of full vehicle MR suspension is evaluated via simulation with respect to the tire pressure.

Automotive suspension system is a mechanism for isolation of the vibration coming from the road inputs. Recently, the electronically controlled suspension systems which may improve ride and handling performance have been developed. Here, the continuously controlled semi-active suspension system is focused. As a mechanism to control damping forces continuously, a solenoid valve is used. The modeling for the solenoid valve is introduced briefly, a vehicle dynamics modeling is constructed, and then combined system model is completed. To design the efficient control algorithm for the semiactive suspension system the knowledge based fuzzy logic is applied and the technique how to apply the sky-hook theory to the fuzzy logic is developed. Finally, to confirm the improvement of performance the computer simulation is carried out.

This paper presents a robust and superior control performance of a quarter-vehicle electrorheological (ER) suspension system. In order to achieve this goal, a moving sliding mode control algorithm is adopted, and its moving strategy is tuned by fuzzy logic. As a first step, ER damper is designed and manufactured for a passenger vehicle suspension system, and its field-dependent damping force is experimentally evaluated. After formulating the governing equation of motion for the quarter-vehicle ER suspension system, a stable sliding surface and moving algorithm based on fuzzy logic are formulated. The fuzzy moving sliding mode controller is then constructed and experimentally implemented. Control performances of the ER suspension system are evaluated in both time and frequency domains.

Generally, the hydraulic pressures are used for transmitting the force. Therefore, a highly reliable and inexpensive control system has been required for a passenger car. The control-ability of active suspension system is strongly affected by the performance of pressure control valve in the view of dynamic response and energy consumption. In this study, we suggested main design parameters for the optimum design of proportional pressure control valve. The mathematical simulation model was derived from the quarter type model which consisted a valve and hydraulic damper for the purpose of analyzing the valve characteristics. Experiments were performed to confirm the performance of the valve and computations were carried out to ascertain the usefulness of the developed program. The results from computations fairly coincide with those from experiments. This has been achieved by developing the servomechanism valve which comprises the simple combination of a solenoid, a spool valve and a poppet valve. The results from experiments and computations show the development process of optimum proportional pressure control valve in the hydraulics system.
