Modeling simulation and control of active suspension system in Matlab Simulink environment

This paper proposes the study of automobile active suspension system for the purpose of improving ride comfort to passengers and simultaneously improving the stability of vehicle by reducing vibration effects on suspension system. With the increased demand of fine control of parameters, the mechatronic controller is being used for increasing the comfort of vehicle with their application to the suspension system of the vehicle. This is the prime location for the consideration of inclusion of controller. The modeling and simulation is carried out in Simulink environment and the PID (Proportional Integral derivative) controller is introduced for improving the performance of the suspension system. The active control of the suspension system is being carried out by proper tuning of the controller. The dynamic performance of the integrated system is improved significantly by using the controller.
