Adaptive Fuzzy Control of Vehicle Semi-Active Suspensions

The optimization of passive and controllable suspensions is subject to the constraint that conflicts the car body and tire modes. The application of control systems for improving ride quality has been studied for many years. The control force for an active suspension is derived from either full-state or partial-state signals, which requires extensive hardware, consumes higher energy, and has a low reliability. On-off and variable semiactive suspensions have been used for their simplicity, however they are lack of adaptive capability for nonlinear damping modulation
