A new adaptive robust control strategy for heavy rescue vehicles is proposed based on road level estimation to solve the problem that heavy vehicles have poor ride comfort and unstable handling when they are derived on complex road conditions. The road estimation method takes the relative roughness indicator(RRI)
which is caused by different road level
as the basis of estimation
and T-S fuzzy control rules are then designed to estimate the final road level. Then the control strategy gives a parameter matrix for an adaptive optimal H
∞
controller from the estimated road level
unsprung mass
sprung mass
suspension stiffness
suspension damping and tire stiffness. The control force of active suspension is calculated to realize t
he adaptive control of active suspension when derived on different road levels. Experimental results show that active suspension control systems based on the road level estimation adaptively control suspension stiffness and damping by adjusting the parameter matrix of the robust controller. The proposed control strategy improves both ride comfort and handling stability in different road levels. A comparison with the passive suspension in different road leveles show that the active suspension reduces the RMS of the sprung mass acceleration more than 20%
and the amplitude of the sprung mass acceleration of the active suspension is smaller than that of the passive suspension in the 4-8 Hz band.
