Description
Summary:In this article, a robust ride comfort control scheme for vehicles is proposed in which measurements of the tire deflections are not required. The controller has the property that we can specify a location where the ride comfort will be best. To achieve this end, an estimator for the tire deflections and the road disturbances is proposed. Next, a combined ideal vehicle is designed. In the ideal vehicle, the location where ride comfort will be best can be moved by setting only one design parameter. Finally, a robust tracking controller is developed so that a real vehicle tracks the motion of the combined ideal vehicle.
