Özet

A new technique of active control is presented for enhancing the dynamic responses of full car systems with bias to ride comfort performance. A seven degrees of freedom full car model is used, and its performance is evaluated on a bump road and random road. The proposed scheme is a combination between traditional controller design methods with an algebraic estimator of perturbations that will be eliminated online. From the inputs and the outputs signals, the unmodeled phenomenon can be estimated and be subtracted for ensuring the proper functioning of the system. The precise mathematical model of the system is not required for the implementation of the control scheme and is replaced by ultra-local models. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the algebraic estimator of road profile is introduced for applying the excitation sources of the reference generator. The road profiles in front of the vehicle are estimated separately from the rear road profiles. The ride comfort is improved progressively with the novel controller configuration by 83% from the passive case. Further, pitching and rolling fluctuations are reduced by 80% and 85% respectively. The numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness and the robustness against vehicle body mass deviation and nonlinear actuator saturation of the proposed control method compared to passive and Active Disturbance Rejection Controller based on Input Decoupling Transformation.
