Control of active suspension for full car model

The need for passenger comfort, road handling abilities of tires, and vehicle handling characteristics, have been the major challenge in the design of suspension system over the years. However, in the past decades various strategies ranging from semi-active to fully active suspension systems had bee...

description The need for passenger comfort, road handling abilities of tires, and vehicle handling characteristics, have been the major challenge in the design of suspension system over the years. However, in the past decades various strategies ranging from semi-active to fully active suspension systems had been developed to minimized the unavoidable compromised adopted in the design of passive suspension system, and improve the performance of suspension system. This leads to many research works on active suspension system, with most of them focusing on quarter car model.
