Vehicle chassis control systems aim at increasing vehicle safety and performance, while ensuring superior passenger comfort. Nearly all control algorithms are sensitive to the inertial parameters of a vehicle. As the vehicle mass, the moments of inertia, and the centre of gravity (COG) position can change significantly during operation, an accurate online estimation of these properties could su...

The main role of suspensions is to improve comfort by isolating the vehicle chassis to an uneven ground and to provide a good road holding to ensure passenger safety. Suspension control of quarter vehicle have been widely explored the past few years to improve vertical movements either by applying LQ [9], Skyhook [11], H∞ control [7], [16], LPV [4] or mixed synthesis [1], [14]. Roll dynamic is ...

Vehicle dynamic analysis has been a hot research topic due to its important role in ride comfort, vehicle safety and overall vehicle performance.. For proper designing of suspension system, nonlinearities in suspension parameters must be considered. In this paper, nonlinearities of spring and damper are considered while preparing quarter car model. For this a simplified model and experimental s...

This paper introduces a class of passive interconnected suspensions, defined mathematically in terms of their mechanical admittance matrices, with the purpose of providing greater freedom to specify independently bounce, pitch, roll, and warp dynamics than conventional (passive) suspension arrangements. Two alternative realization schemes are described that are capable of implementing this clas...

Between 2010 and 2014, the research team of Josef Bozek ́s Research Center of Combustion Engines and Automobiles at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic, has developed innovations in vehicle suspension technology. The research team has designed a unique innovative suspension system that uses a linear electric motor as a controlled actuator. We have undertaken many experiments...
