Abstract
Applications of active suspension control for both on-highway and off-highway vehicles are reviewed. Suspension design is evaluated in terms of ride vibration exposure and road/terrain handling. Active, semi-active, and slow-active suspension types are described in terms of their performance capabilities. Finally, numerous design concepts and their application to a wide range of ground vehicle types (i.e, truck, automotive, agricultural, and construction) are described.
