Abstract
The motor vehicle industry has shown a mechatronics system with intelligent control systems. Mechatronics refers to a successful combination of mechanical and electronic systems. In mechatronics, traditional systems of mechanical engineering are combined together with components from computer science, mathematics and electrical engineering. This paper presents enhancing an active suspension for a quarter car model to improve its performance by applying a specific controller. Separating a vehicle’s body from road abnormalities is the major purpose of a suspension system, in order to provide the maximum ride comfort for passengers and keep hold of continuous road wheel contact to provide road holding. First controller applied is fuzzy logic controller (FLC), and the second one is a Linear Quadratic Regulator, the car’s behaviour such as car body displacement, suspension deflection, and wheel travel is considered to obtain maximum damping force in the actuator. A comparative study has been verified to get the best performance for comfort of passenger ride and road managing.
