“…If e(t) is zero, then system can remain on the sliding mode surface all the time. Thus, ds dt = 0 (26) Feedback control design for SMC consists of two parts, i.e., equivalent control and switching control. Equivalent control U eq is accountable to hold the system trajectories on the sliding surface, while switching/discontinuous control U D is responsible for moving the system trajectories in the direction of sliding surface.…”

This paper deals with the active vibration control of a quarter-vehicle suspension system. Damping control methods investigated in this paper are: higher-order sliding mode control (HOSMC) based on super twisting algorithm (STA), first-order sliding mode control (FOSMC), integral sliding mode control (ISMC), proportional integral derivative (PID), linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and passive suspension system. Performance comparison of different active controllers are analyzed in terms of vertical displacement, suspension travel and wheel deflection. The theoretical, quantitative and qualitative analysis verify that the STA-based HOSMC exhibits better performance as well as negate the undesired disturbances with respect to FOSMC, ISMC, PID, LQR and passive suspension system. Furthermore, it is also robust to intrinsic bounded uncertain dynamics of the model.

“…Whereas, HOSMC is robust against system structure changeability unlike other active control strategies. It reduces harmful oscillation to its maximum level [26]. Hence, HOSMC has all the qualities of SMC and it provides the sliding variable and its derivatives a finite time convergence [27].…”

“…In [7], Marcu et al introduced the active suspension system model. In addition, the active suspension system which uses an electromagnetic actuator also shows high performance when using it to replace the conventional passive suspension system [8]. Overall, when the conventional passive suspension system is replaced by modern suspension systems which are controlled by a controller, the vehicle's stability and comfort can be improved when the vehicle moves on the road.…”

When the vehicle moves on the road, many external factors affect the vehicle. These effects can cause oscillation and instability for the vehicle. The oscillation of the vehicle directly affects the safety and comfort of passengers. The suspension system is used to control and extinguish these oscillations. However, the conventional passive suspension system is unable to fully meet the vehicle’s requirements for stability and comfort. To improve these problems, these are much modern suspension system models that have been used in the vehicle to replace the passive suspension system. The modern suspension systems are used as the air suspension system, semiactive suspension system, and active suspension system. These systems which are controlled automatically by the controller were established based on the control methods. There are a lot of control methods which are used to control the operation of the active suspension system. These methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Almost, conventional control methods such as PID, LQR, or SMC are commonly used. However, they do not provide optimal efficiency in improving a vehicle’s oscillation. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a novel solution for the active suspension system control to improve the vehicle’s oscillation. In this paper, the method of using the double-integrated controller is proposed to solve the above problem. The double-integrated controller consists of two hydraulic actuators which are controlled completely separately. This is a completely novel and original method that can provide positive effects. This research focuses on establishing, simulating, and evaluating the novel control method (the double-integrated control) for the active suspension system. The results of the research have shown that when the vehicle is equipped with the active suspension system which is controlled by the double-integrated controller, the maximum values of displacement and acceleration of the sprung mass are significantly reduced. They reach only 6.25% and 9.10% (case 1) and 6.00% and 6.12% (case 2) compared to the conventional passive suspension system. Besides, its average values which are calculated by RMS are only about 3.91% and 4.67% (case 1) and 4.48% and 4.77% (case 2) compared to the above case. Therefore, the comfort and stability of the vehicle have been improved. This paper provides new concepts and knowledge about the double-integrated control method which will become the trend to be used in the next time for the systems of the vehicle. In the future, experimental procedures also need to be conducted to be able to more accurately evaluate the results of this research.

“…It is more convenient to use an active suspension system to limit the problems of passive and semi-active suspension systems. The active suspension system consists of spring and damper with the addition of an electromagnetic actuator or hydraulic actuator commonly situated in parallel with damper and spring [7,8]. The actuator dissipates the energy from the system, sensors measure suspension variables, and the control unit can enter the desired force.…”

This article proposes a new intelligent control scheme that uses the Fuzzy Super Twisting Sliding Mode Concept (FSTSMC) and PID controller tuned with the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm to control a full vehicle active suspension system with new convergence proof. Suspension systems are utilized to provide vehicle safety and improve comfortable driving. The effects of road roughness transmitted by tires to the vehicle body can be reduced by using suspension systems. In this work super twisting sliding mode is combined with a fuzzy system to design a robust control method. The super twisting sliding mode concept is utilized to limit and minimize the chattering problem and the fuzzy system is used for estimating the unknown parameters and uncertainty in the suspension system components (spring, damper, and actuator). The advantage of such combination is that it can handle the uncertainties and nonlinearities efficiently. The PID controller is used to create the
