Abstract
When the vehicle moves, the bump on the road surface is the main factor affecting the vehicle's stability. It produces non-cyclic oscillations and causes a feeling of discomfort and fatigue for passengers. The suspension system of the vehicle is used to regulate and reduce these negative effects. In order to improve vehicle stability and comfort, the active suspension is used to replace the conventional passive suspension system. There are many methods to control the suspension system, each with its advantages and disadvantages. This article focuses on the introduction and establishment of the sliding mode controller for the active suspension system. The results of the study show that when the vehicle is equipped with an active suspension system that is controlled by a sliding mode controller, the values of displacement and acceleration of the sprung mass are significantly reduced. Therefore, the vehicle's stability and comfort are also greatly improved. Besides, the sliding mode controller is very stable to the change of the impact factors. However, this method is more difficult and complex than the use of conventional linear methods.

Summary
The suspension system of the vehicle is very important. The suspension supports maintaining the vehicle's stability and smoothness while moving on the road. If the displacement and acceleration of the sprung mass are small, the vehicle will be more stable. This study focuses on the control, simulation, and evaluation of the active suspension system compared to the conventional passive suspension system.
