Abstract:
The pursuit of driving comfort and superior
handling performance in vehicles has been a long-standing goal
in the field of automotive engineering. The emergence of semiactive
suspension systems represents a significant leap forward,
offering a dynamic compromise between traditional passive
systems and complex active systems. However, achieving
optimal control of semi-active dampers remains an important
challenge. The introduction of fuzzy controllers revolutionized
this landscape, introducing a new approach to suspension
control. This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the
development, principles, and applications of fuzzy controllers,
demonstrating their transformative impact on vehicle
dynamics. The controller outcomes indicate that the sprung
mass acceleration, tire load, and suspension distortion were
significantly reduced with average percentages of 15%, 2%, and
5%, respectively.
