Simulation of Active Suspension System Based on Optimal Control

Article Preview

Abstract:

A 7-DOFs vehicle dynamics model which includes active suspension system (ASS) is established, and a LQR controller for active suspension system was designed based on optimal control theory. The simulation models for active suspension system and passive suspension system were built, and a simulation experiment was carried out with MATLAB/Simulink Software. The simulation results show that the optimal control of active suspension system can reduce vertical, roll and pitch accelerations of sprung mass, and the vehicle ride comfort and handling stability were improved effectively.
