Suspension damping control algorithms using vehicle states with driver and road inputs (First report)

- Issue of skyhook shock absorber control and countermeasure logic -

Abstract

In this paper vehicle behavior due to road input and driver operation input is simulated for analysis of skyhook shock absorber control. Nonlinearity caused by the difference between target damping force and actual damping force increases vehicle behavior due to driver operation input in case of combination with road input. Countermeasure control logic with additional damping force calculated with vehicle model is proposed to decrease vehicle behavior due to driver input.
