Abstract

In vehicles with active suspensions, by reducing the tire deflections, handling stability can be improved, and by reducing vertical acceleration of the vehicle body, ride comfort can be improved. In general, for hard road bumps, if handling stability is improved by using LQ controllers, ride comfort may deteriorate for not so hard road bumps. To overcome the problem, we propose a controller in which handling stability can be improved only when handling stability may be likely to be deteriorated.
