| Summary: | Since the passive suspension system is not enough for creating good
compromise between road handling and ride comfort for off-road vehicles, this
paper presents a study on the application of an active suspension system. In
this work, a neuro-fuzzy controller (NFC) is developed for two and three-axle
half-car off-road vehicle models. A fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is employed as
a benchmark for the NFC. The system designed for this study takes in two
types of road disturbances as inputs, namely pothole and random road inputs.
The sprung mass vertical and pitch accelerations are the criteria employed for
the evaluation of the ride comfort, while the tyre deflection is used for the road
handling. The results demonstrate that the NFC has a superior performance
over the FLC in creating excellent ride comfort and good road handling without
compromising the rattle-space requirement. On the other hand, the NFC
requires higher actuation forces than the FLC as it gives a better performance
that requires more control effort. |
