AbstractVarious types of controlled suspension systems are compared in terms of their relative performance capabilities and power requirements. In addition to any direct inputs required at the actuator, the total power dissipations within the suspensions are calculated. This power must ultimately be provided by the vehicle's power unit and it typically between 10 and 20% of the power losses involved in rolling resistance. The mean power dissipation levels are found to be similar for all the types of suspension compared. However, the detailed way in which this power is dissipated differs and accounts for the significantly different performance levels available from each suspension.
