H∞ control of 8 degrees of freedom vehicle active suspension system

Abstract The main objective of this paper is to develop improved robust control techniques for an active suspension system utilizing an improved mathematical model. For that purpose, Euler Lagrange equation is used to obtain a mathematical model for vehicle active suspension system. The dynamics of driver’s seat are included to get a more appropriate model. Robust H ∞ controllers are designed for the system to minimize the effect of road disturbances on vehicle and passengers. The performance of active suspension system is determined by measuring the heave acceleration of driver’s seat and rotational acceleration of vehicle around its center of gravity. Effectiveness of the proposed controllers is validated by simulation results.
