摘要:AbstractThe use of active car suspensions to maximize driver comfort has been of growing interest in the last decades. Various active car suspension control technologies have been developed. In this work, an optimal control for a full-car electromechanical active suspension is presented. Therefore, a scaled-down lab setup model of this full-car active suspension is established, capable of emulating a car driving over a road surface with a much simpler approach in comparison with a classical full-car setup. A kinematic analysis is performed to assure system behaviour which matches typical full-car dynamics. A state-space model is deducted, in order to accurately simulate the behaviour of a car driving over an actual road profile, in agreement with the ISO 8608 norm. The active suspension control makes use of a Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) state-feedback controller with proportional and integral actions. The optimal controller tuning parameters are determined using a Genetic Algorithm, with respect to actuator constraints and without the need of any further manual fine-tuning.
