The Co-simulation of Steering and Suspension System with ADAMS&Matlab/Simulink

Based on the tire and road model of virtual prototype, using the co-simulation of ADAMS&Matlab/Simulink, combining with the optimal control theory, contrastive research is done among the system of passive suspension and front wheel steering the simple combination system of active suspension and four wheel steering and the integrated system of active suspension and four wheel steering. The theory analysis and simulation test indicate the integrated control system can greatly improve handling and riding performance of vehicle.
