Adaptive Suspension System

Abstract

The automotive industries are more specific in automation of the present systems and making them responsive according to the environment. The idea of Adaptive Suspension System is explained here which is designed to neutral jerks due to speed breakers (domes) and uneven surfaces on the roads by actuating suspension system. The system designed is real time and reconfigurable. The main requisite of this project is that the system should be able to control engine and the braking systems. Various kinds of sensors like ultrasonic sensor, LASER detector, Force sensor, Tachometer and Accelerometer will play an important part in the Adaptive Suspension System. Different electronic control units will also be used for controlling the suspensions and one ECU will be involved in actuating the braking and engine system. The system is based on Intel Atom core 2 duo processor which is a 32-bit processor. Data input will be taken using peripheral interfacing DAC card; dual camera will be interfaced by using encoder. The suspension system can be either hydraulic or electromagnetic. The jerk will be neutralized by displaying suspension assembly with direction of the applied force by rigid body. As per the road conditions, displacements will be managed by controlling units. Roads may be gray and with white lane bands.
