This paper presents a new fault-tolerant control (FTC) algorithm for an automotive air suspension control (ASC) system. The FTC algorithm proposed in this paper provides the fault detection, diagnosis, and management of a closed-loop air suspension control system. A new model-based fault detection and isolation algorithm for the height sensors, which are critical but vulnerable components of the ASC system, is also proposed. The height sensor fault is detected on the basis of the geometric relationships of the suspension and is isolated by implementing the analytical redundancy of the height sensors using roll and pitch angle estimates derived by a Kalman filter. An adaptive threshold is designed and applied in order to enhance the robustness of the fault detection and isolation against model uncertainties. The effectiveness of the proposed model-based FTC algorithm is verified via simulation and actual vehicle tests.

“…Among them, Toyota [2] developed a new electronically controlled air suspension system capable of satisfying mutually exclusive requirements such as soft riding and stable maneuverability on higher levels. Ogawa et al [3] proposed a damping control system based on the "sky-hook" principle for air suspension that provides an effective damping control through its relatively simple construction.…”

Due to nonlinearity, preload-dependent spring force and parameters uncertainty in air spring, it is difficult to control this suspension system. To achieve a desired performance, a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) has been designed to improve the passenger comfort and manipulability of vehicle, in which the fuzzy adaptive system is used to deal with the nonlinearity and uncertainty of the air suspension. A normal linear suspension model with an optimal state feedback control is designed as the reference model. The simulation results show that this control scheme is more effective and robust in the vibration isolation of the vehicle body than is the conventional sliding mode controller (CSMC).

“…Various control algorithms utilizing different types of power actuators (electric, pneumatic, hydro-pneumatic, magnetic and commercialized magneto-rheological fluid, etc.) are documented in the literature (Margolis, 1983;Karnopp & Margolis, 1984;Karnopp, 1985;Hrovat, 1991;Elmandy & Abdujjabbar, 1990, 1992Youn & Hac, 1995;Ogawa, Satoh, & Enomoto, 1996;Toyofuku, Yamada, Kagawa, & Fujita, 1999;White, 2000). The majority of on highway trucks (class 8) use air suspension and some type of ride height control system.…”
