Study on Control Strategies of Semi-Active Air Suspension for Heavy Vehicles Based on Road-Friendliness

Abstract

Targeting the road-friendliness of vehicles, the paper has analyzed dynamic deformation and dynamic load of tires under different control strategies through co-simulation. A vehicle dynamics model with semi-active air suspension has been made through using Adams, and a PID controller, a fuzzy controller and a fuzzy PID controller have been set in the Matlab to adjust the damping of the suspension, with the road excitation modeled through band-limited white noise. The result shows that the fuzzy PID controller has overcome the shortcomings of the PID controller and the fuzzy controller and a better control effect has been achieved.
