Design of Vehicle Semi-Active Suspension System Control Unit

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper researches on embedded system design based on MC9s12Dp256 microcontroller for vehicle semi-active suspension. The hardware design of suspension control unit (SCU) is introduced. The integrated control strategy which integrates Skyhook and MiniMax strategies is proposed. The hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) test on a two-degree-of-freedom quarter car semi-active suspension system model is carried out. The functions of SUC are verified and the performance of passive suspension and semi-active suspension is compared. The simulation results indicate that the performance of SCU achieves design requirement. In comparison with passive system, the control effect of integrated control strategy can be improved in ride comfort and drive safety.
