A Review on Controlling Methods for Semi-Active Suspension Systems

Abstract

Abstract: In recent years the need of vehicle safety and ride comfort has led to develop effective modeling and control methods of suspension system. There are many methods already found to develop and control this kind of suspension systems. Mainly there are three types ofsuspension systems, Active, Semi-Active and Passive suspensions. This research paper presents a comprehensive review of controlling methods employed in semi-active suspension systems, a critical component in modern vehicle dynamics. Out of these three, semi-active suspension has the ability to adapt with the technical changes in the system model. In this paper some of the control methods for the semi-active suspension system have been discussed and a quick review is done on their way of operation. Moreover, the paper addresses recent advancements in semi-active suspension control, such as the integration of machine learning and optimization techniques.
