Abstract

The study deals with the light passenger vehicle suspension system design to improve the ride quality. The fuzzy logic control approach is applied to the half car suspension system model by adjusting the control parameters and properties using online adaptation with a minimized cost function and reduced hardware complexity. The performance of resulting model is tested under the influence of trapezoidal and triangular membership functions using the 9, 25 and 49 rules-set. The controller robustness is observed at different performance indices. Road excitations in the form of disturbance input are modelled as the sinusoidal function of a speed bump to reveal the transient response of the automotive body. Ultimately, the performance of active suspension system has been improved in terms of displacement and acceleration of seat, heave, pitch, and roll by the application of proposed fuzzy logic controller. Results reported that the trapezoidal shape 25 rules set membership function based fuzzy logic controller gives the best performance between the investigated systems.
