Description
Summary:The research presented in this paper is carried out to investigate the performance of a suspension systems either an active or passive type. Controllers that are used in this study are proposed fuzzy logic controller and proportional integral derivative controller as a benchmarking comparison. The simulations in this research have been carried out using Simulink of MATLAB. The parameters in the simulation model for the suspension system under study include car body mass, wheel mass, spring and damping elements of shock absorber, and tire. The block model of the suspension system has been designed to represent the equation of motion of the sedan car suspension system. The road disturbance for the active suspension system is modelled in two different ways, namely, unit step input signal and sine wave input signal. The simulation results indicate that fuzzy logic control of an active car suspension system has better performance compared to the passive system.
