Abstract
Active suspension systems aim to increase ride comfort by reducing body acceleration due to road disturbances. This research proposes a new fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for such systems which includes acceleration error as third input. The objective of the proposed 3-inputs FLC is to improve vehicle comfort and ensure passenger safety. To assess the performances of the newly introduced controller, a theorical study is conducted on a quarter-car system with a four-wheel independent suspension design. Simulation results demonstrate high performances of the proposed 3-inputs FLC compared with conventional PID and 2-inputs FLC. The acceleration error as an additional FLC input was, to the best of our knowledge, not explored yet. Hence, this contribution offers a new method for the design of more effective active suspension systems.
