A novel active suspension control design method is proposed for attenuating vibrations caused by road disturbance inputs in vehicle suspension systems. For the control algorithm, we propose an intelligent PD controller structure that effectively rejects online estimated disturbances. The main theoretical techniques used in this paper consist of an ultra-local model which replaces the mathematical model of quarter car system and a new algebraic estimator of unknown information. The measurement of only input and output variables of the plant is required for achieving the reference tracking task and the cancellation of unmodeled exogenous and endogenous perturbations such as roughness road variation, unpredictable variation of vehicle speed and load variation. The performance and robustness of the proposed active suspension algorithm are compared with ADRC control and LQR control. Numerical results are provided for showing the improvement of passenger comfort criteria with model-free control.
