Among other advances in ground vehicle technology, active suspension systems play an important role in improving ride comfort, handling and road holding vehicles. Ride comfort is affected by vehicle motions, such as body bounce, pitch and roll, but also limiting wheel travel and suspension deflection is important for road holding performance. The main motivation of this study is designing different control strategies for active suspension systems equipped with a linear electric motor and making a comprehensive assessment of active suspension systems by comparing these control methods. To achieve this aim, initially, characteristics of linear actuators are reviewed, and a linearized half-car model is obtained with four degrees of freedom. Then in order to compensate the effects of the road profile on ride comfort, PID, LQR, H∞ and sliding mode controllers are developed. Genetic and gradient-based optimization algorithms are used. Simulations are carried out, and bounce, pitch, wheel travel and suspension deflection of the vehicle are observed. Time-domain and frequency domain analyses were performed to evaluate ride comfort and the effectiveness of controllers.

Analysis and Design of Passive and Active Interconnected Hydro Pneumatic Suspension Systems in Roll Plane
Sağlam, Ferhat; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2015-05-19)
In this study, analysis and design of a half car model in roll plane with passive and active unconnected and interconnected Hydro-Pneumatic (HP) suspension systems are made. An interconnection configuration with a connection between the piston side oil volume and rod side oil volume of the right and left suspensions, respectively, is considered. The performance of the active unconnected HP and interconnected HP suspension systems are compared in terms of ride comfort and handling. Nonlinear mathematical mod...
Comparison of the Performance of Different Active Suspension Architectures Equipped with Linear Electric Motors
Bayar, Kerem; Büyüker, Banu Çiçek (2022-01-01)
Despite the ever-increasing studies on active suspensions, most of which illustrate significant improvements over the conventional suspension systems, there have been only a few recent real-life applications in modern production vehicles. The drawbacks of high cost, added weight, added power requirement, and difficulty of maintenance which require specialized tools and technicians, have constrained these applications to the luxury vehicles. This work focuses on comparing the performance of three different a...
Adaptive ride comfort and attitude control of vehicles equipped with active hydro-pneumatic suspension
Saglam, Ferhat; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2016-01-01)
In this study, an active suspension for combined ride comfort and attitude control of a vehicle equipped with hydro-pneumatic (HP) suspension system is developed. The state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) control is employed in the design of the active suspension controller. A detailed sensitivity analysis is performed to examine the effects of the selection of weighting coefficients on the ride comfort and attitude control. According to the results of the sensitivity study, three different sets of fixed ...
Design and simulation of an ABS for an integrated active safety system for road vehicles
Sahin, Murat; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2010-01-01)
A design methodology for an anti-lock braking system (ABS) controller for four-wheeled road vehicles is presented. In the study, a flexible approach was adopted considering integration with an integrated active safety system control structure. In the hierarchical control strategy proposed for the ABS controller, a high-level controller, through vehicle longitudinal acceleration-based estimation, determines reference wheel slip values, and a low-level controller attempts to track these reference slip signals...
Development of a control strategy for road vehicles with semi-active suspensions using a full vehicle ride model
Erdoğan, Zeynep; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009)
The main motivation of this study is the design of a control strategy for semi-active vehicle suspension systems to improve ride comfort for road vehicles. In order to achieve this objective, firstly the damping characteristics of Magnetorheological dampers will be reviewed. Then an appropriate semi-active control strategy manipulating the inputs of the dampers to create suitable damping forces will be designed. Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control strategy is the primary focus area on semi-active contr...
