Ride Height Control of Trucks with Electrically Controlled Air Suspension Based on PID/PWM Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

The truck with Electrically Controlled Air Suspension(ECAS) could reduce the loss of goods by setting running height when transporting, and to enhance the loading &unloading efficiency, a height modulating model was built by combining the theories of thermodynamics of variable-mass charging-discharging system and the vehicle kinetics. To solve such problems as “over-charging”, “over-discharging” and surging, a height control strategy of variable integral PID/PWM was proposed and its controller was developed base on the Freescale single chip. Finally the semi-physical rig was built for simulating the truck with the height controller, and the testing results show that the designed control system satisfies the requirement of height modulation.
