Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of active seat suspension when it is applied to small cars and the problems associated with its practical use. A small active seat suspension is installed for one-seater electric automobiles. In an actual driving test, a test road, in which the concavity and convexity of an actual road surface were simulated using hard rubber, has been prepared and the control performance of vertical vibrations of the seat surface during driving has been examined. In this paper, we examined the effectiveness of the active seat suspension in outdoor. As a result, the ride comfort improvement of the small vehicle was able to confirm that active seat suspension was effective on off road.
