Roll Control of SUV Using Semi-active Suspension Based on SIA Control

An roll control algorithm of SUV based on SIA skyhook control strategy is proposed in this paper. Theoretical model is developed for the roll control of semi-active suspension of sport utility vehicle using Skyhook control algorithm. In this paper it presents a new control strategy - SIA skyhook control strategy for enhancing vehicle roll stability and does not affect the normal vehicle ride comfort. The Carsim dynamic simulation software is used to verify the final control performance. The performance of the proposed control system is compared with MATLAB/Simulink simulation. The simulation results approved the semi-active suspension system can be effective in roll stability control of passenger car.
