This paper studies an application of parametric magnetorheological (MR.) damper in semi active suspension control; which the controller targeted reduction oftire force without compensating vehicle ride comfort. A control strategy known as ground semi active damping force estimator (gSADE) and groundhook (GRD) are integrated with the MR damper. A ride test consists of two different road excitation were applied as the system disturbance and the effectiveness of the control strategies along with the MR damper model are recorded. The comparison between gSADE and GRD control show that gSADE is able to improve ride comfort and reduced dynamic tire force by an application of MR damper.
