            Abstract : 
In this paper a genetic-based fuzzy controller for automotive active suspensions is designed for a 1/2 car model. A genetic algorithm is used to tune the membership functions of this controller. The genetic-based fuzzy controller uses body acceleration, front suspension deflection, and rear suspension deflection as measurements. It is divided into three individual modules internally to be extended and applied to a full car model. Two realistic road disturbance models are used to evaluate the performance of the controller. It is shown that the genetic-based fuzzy controller provides good performance in reducing the magnitude of body acceleration and holding the road
