This paper is concerned with model decoupling and Hinfinity robust-performance control of a vehicle active suspension system. Firstly, the full-vehicle suspension system with 7 degrees-of-freedom is decoupled into heave-pitch and roll-warp subsystems using linear transformations. Secondly, the uncontrollable mode in the roll-warp sub-system is removed using the derived geometrical constraint equation; Thirdly, based on the LMI method, robust Hinfinity output-feedback controllers are designed for the decoupled suspension system. Finally, the system's performance is evaluated by computer simulations, which demonstrate that the active suspension system has better ride and handling performance than the passive system, and the performance can be maintained despite significant levels of uncertainty in the actuator dynamics.
