N2 - The suspension system is composed of several deformable elements such as springs and dampers, which connect the car body to wheels and absorb vibrations generated by road irregularities. The main purpose of suspension system is to isolate the vehicle body from disturbances in order to keep wheels in contact with the road surface to contribute to road holding, and in order to maximize passenger ride comfort. This paper describes a semi-active suspension system of 2 degrees of freedom (2DOF), typically referred to as a quarter car model. To design a suspension control system that improve ride comfort, dynamic modelling of semi-active suspension was developed. Control strategies were implemented for these semi-active suspension systems using MATLAB® and Simulink® software. The results show that the semi-active suspension system controlled by a logical strategy minimizes vertical acceleration experienced by passengers, compared to passive suspension system.
