A novel semi-active suspension algorithm based on a high-precision frequency selector

Abstract

This study proposes a novel semi-active suspension control algorithm based on a high-precision frequency selector. The algorithm focuses on the phenomenon of redundant switching in frequency domain judgment. Furthermore, the working principle of realizing high-precision selection is explained. The behavior of window sample number N is analyzed theoretically, and the gray prediction theory is used, together with a formerly sampled signal, to predict and obtain advanced output. This can compromise time delay in the control strategy and improve the accuracy of the selector. Using the combined sky-hook and acceleration-driven damper control algorithm and the MIX algorithm as the benchmark, the improved frequency selector is verified under sweep road environments. The results demonstrate that the improved algorithm significantly reduces the number of switches that occur while driving the vehicle, without deteriorating the comfort, thus improving the energy efficiency and service life of the damper.
