Abstract :
One of the main advantages of active vehicle suspensions (with respect to conventional passive) is that they can adapt to different road, speed and handling conditions. The present study proposes one approach towards a gain scheduling technique based on the estimated road profiles and optimal control laws developed previously. The effectiveness of the approach is illustrated through simulation results with the help of white noise and actual, measured road profiles
