description With the advance in technology in driving vehicles, there is currently more emphasis on developing advanced control systems for better road handling stability and ride comfort. However, one of the challenging problems in the design and implementation of intelligent suspension systems is that there is currently no solution supporting the export of generic suspension models and control components for integration into embedded Electronic Control Units (ECUs). This significantly limits the usage of embedded suspension components in automotive production code software as it requires very high efforts in implementation, manual testing, and fulfilling coding requirements. This paper introduces a new dynamic model of full-car suspension system with semi-active suspension behavior and provides a hybrid sliding mode approach for control of full-car suspension dynamics such that the road handling stability and ride comfort characteristics are ensured. The semi-active suspension model and the hybrid sliding mode controller are implemented as Functional Mock-Up Units (FMUs) conforming to the Functional Mock-Up Interface for embedded systems (eFMI) and are calibrated with a set experimental tests using a 1/5 Soben-car test bench. The methods and prototype implementation proposed in this paper allow both model and controller re-usability and provide a generic way of integrating models and control software into embedded ECUs.
