Design and Simulation Automobile Active Suspension System
A classic car widely uses a passive suspension system for passengers but the suspension spring and damper only control the motion of the car body and wheel by limiting the suspension velocity according to the rate determined by the designer. To overcome the problem, active suspension systems have been proposed. The active suspension responds to changes in the road because of the controller's ability to supply energy to produce relative motion between the body and wheel. Active suspension systems use sensors to measure the suspension variables and the controller sends signals to the actuator and the actuator responds accordingly. The objective of this project is to develop a system that can be controlled by a PID controller and capable to achieve the desired level of performance.
