| Summary: | The key request for a vehicle suspension system is vibration control and decreasing the actual inertia forces. This ensures ride comfort for the crew and influences the fatigue level of the driver and overall driving safety. Implementing semi-active damping control in the vehicle suspension allows for adjusting the damping process in the vehicle for minimum acceleration applied to the seats, driver, and passengers. In order to implement theoretical analysis, we used a mathematical full-car model in Simulink/MATLAB. As the load, we added simulations of various artificially generated road profiles. The damping coefficient of the semi-active suspension system was optimized for maximum comfort level for a driver only. Results from the full-car simulation process deliver a graph of the output accelerations showing kinematic excitation from road deformities under various locations of vehicle load positions.
