Influence of Vehicle Suspension System on Ride Comfort

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the influence of various vehicle suspension systems on ride comfort. A vehicle model with eight degrees of freedom is introduced. With this model, various types of non-linear suspensions such as active and semi-active suspensions are investigated. From this investigation, we draw the conclusion that the active and semi-active suspensions models are beneficial for ride comfort.
