Study on the Fuzzy Control of Coach Air Suspension System

摘要

An electronically controlled air suspension system has been introduced to improve the ride performance of a vehicle. A fuzzy controller is designed on the basis of fuzzy logic control strategy which is applied to control the air suspension system. The vibration reduction of a coach with the suspension system is achieved by controlling the stiffness of the air spring and the damping of a switchable damper. A nonlinear dynamic model of a half-vehicle is used to simulate traditional air suspension and the one with fuzzy controller for ride performance respectively on road input. The results indicate that implementing a control strategy can improve the ride performance of the coach on the condition of normal road.
