An Innovative, Integrated Control for Reduced Pitching Discomfort During Ride Maneuvers

Despite an extensive research background, active suspension systems remain uncommercialized primarily due to high energy consumption, increased weight, and limited functionality. This study proposes a three-layered hierarchical control architecture to mitigate pitching discomfort during straight-line driving scenarios. Optimized control parameters are then determined through a genetic algorithm, and the performance of the proposed controller is assessed via a software-in-the-loop simulation, utilizing MATLAB/Simulink and ADAMS. Compared to the well-established Hybrid-hook method, the results show that the proposed approach effectively reduces pitching discomfort by approximately ۴۰%. Moreover, it exhibits an energy harvesting capability of around ۱۴۰۰ watts on rough roads.
