Abstract: This paper proposes a nonlinear backstepping control strategy to improve the inherent tradeoff between ride comfort of passengers and suspension travel. Passenger comfort in ground vehicles usually depends on a combination of vertical motion (heave) and angular motion (pitch and roll). Suspension travel means the space variation between vehicle body and tires. Our active suspension de...

The purpose of suspension system in automobiles is to improve the ride comfort and road handling. In this research the ride and handling performance of a specific automobile with passive suspension system is compared to a proposed fuzzy logic semi active suspension system designed for that automobile. The bodysuspension-wheel system is modeled as a two degree of freedom quarter car model. MATLA...

The main problem of vehicle vibration comes from road roughness. An active suspension systempossesses the ability to reduce acceleration of sprung mass continuously as well as to minimizesuspension deflection, which results in improvement of tire grip with the road surface. Thus, braketraction control and vehicle maneuverability can be improved consider ably .This study developeda new active su...

The dynamic behaviour of a vehicle (e.g. the dynamic tire forces, the suspension deflection, and the vertical acceleration of the sprung mass) can be improved significantly if the passive suspension is replaced by an active suspension with preview. Preview means that a priori information of the road surface is used in the control of the suspension. In this report, the rear wheels of the tractor...

This paper is primarily studying the behaver of the twin-accumulator suspension over the conventional passive system focusing on ride quality behavior and road holding. Therefore, a dynamic modeling of passive and twin-accumulator suspension for a quarter model is constructed. MATLAB Simulink environment is used to develop the suspension models. The simulation is applied with two different road...

This paper presents an active slip control system (ASCS) for a four-wheel drive electric vehicle (EV) using suspension of the vehicle. The integrated mechanism is designed combination fuzzy controller and nonlinear back-stepping to individual wheels with help In this research, presented implemented in two steps. first step, based on friction coefficient calculated from tire model, will generate...
