Real-time active suspension control design using adaptive inverse control

This paper presents a personal computer based controller environment for the active suspension control system design. A generic model for suspension system is introduced with damping, spring, and active suspension actuator, which is the hybrid form of a mass displacement linear model plus a force nonlinear model. The adaptive inverse control algorithm with disturbance canceling is researched and implemented as real-application on the computer controller. The real-time simulation with virtual plant prove the computer base controller is a intuitive and effective method for the practical control design for the active suspension problem.
