Abstract

The aim of this paper is to design a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) in a Vehicle Suspension (VS) system for ride comfort improvement through absorption of shock that results from an uneven and rough road. The FLC is a novel approach whose gains dynamically vary with respect to the error and change in the error signal. The validation of the improved control performance of FLC is established by comparative result investigation with other published control algorithms. The comparative results clearly reveal the better response of the suggested approach to control the oscillation of the VS system within a stable range with respect to the accuracy, robustness and capability to control uncertainties.
