Description
Summary:This report was prepared mainly for the purpose of giving a brief idea on the understanding of the chosen project. It is also basically discusses the preliminary research done on the topic, which is Designing and simulate an active PID controller for a vehicle suspension system via controllable damping devices. The objective of this project is to simply design a vehicle suspension system by using Simulink in Matlab and performing a real-time simulation depicting the necessary information in regard to the objective of this project. By saying that the oldfashioned conventional passive suspension system cannot be able to provide a safety driving and comfort for the driver, the active suspension system will do. Implying a closed-loop controller for the vehicle suspension system will assist by reacting to an error signal and supply an output for correcting elements. A controllable damping device will serve as a mean that allows the implication of an active suspension system is been done. Main problem in these days is to find the best configuration that the driver favors in a real-time situation. Therefore, after I have ran through a series of simulations and testing it is shown that it is easier to execute the Matlab programme in the 2-(lof and 4-(iof which consist of roll and pitch rather than the 7-(lof system. But after all, it is not an excuse for not completing the 7 -(lof vehicle suspension system and carry out the simulation with less disturbances.
