Survey and performance evaluation on some automotive semi-active suspension control methods: A comparative study on a single-corner model

In this paper, an overview and a benchmark of some semi-active suspension control strategy performances is proposed. Based on a recent result of the authors, where the optimal semi-active performance trade-off was addressed, here, a complete benchmark to evaluate any controlled semi-active suspensions is proposed, and applied on different control approaches. The present paper aims at providing a picture as complete as possible of the present state of the art in the semi-active suspension control field in terms of comfort and road-holding performance evaluation and trade-off.
