Controller Design for Convoluted Air Spring System Controlled Suspension

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the analysis and controlling automotive vibration using semi-active air spring suspension system by implementing fuzzy and Proportional-Integral derivative (PID) controllers for light vehicles. Due to low transmissibility coefficients and their ability to varying the force generated depends on load capacities the air spring is modelled as an actuator. The dynamic behavior of semi active actuator controlled is contrasted with passive suspension under single bump, double bump and random road profile. The performance of air spring controlled suspension has been investigated. Results show that the fuzzy controller gives optimized results.
