Abstract

Suspension system of a vehicle is used to minimize the effect of different road disturbances for ride comfort and improvement of vehicle control. A passive suspension system responds only to the deflection of the strut. The main objective of this work is to design an efficient active suspension control for a full car model with 8-Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) using adaptive soft-computing technique. So, in this study, an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy based Sliding Mode Control (ANFSMC) strategy is used for full car active suspension control to improve the ride comfort and vehicle stability. The detailed mathematical model of ANFSMC has been developed and successfully applied to a full car model. The robustness of the presented ANFSMC has been proved on the basis of different performance indices. The analysis of MATLAB/SMULINK based simulation results reveals that the proposed ANFSMC has better ride comfort and vehicle handling as compared to Adaptive PID (APID), Adaptive Mamdani Fuzzy Logic (AMFL), passive, and semi-active suspension systems. The performance of the active suspension has been optimized in terms of displacement of seat, heave, pitch, and roll.
