The research paper involves modeling of passive and semi-active suspension systems using quarter car model. Different systems incorporating control strategies of groundhook, skyhook and hybrid are modeled on the basis of fuzzy logic control. A novel optimized control system is also developed that utilizes relative displacement and relative velocity across the masses as inputs to the fuzzy logic controller resulting in the output of modulating damping coefficient. A comparison of all the designed systems is carried out with the passive system for ascertaining ride comfort and road handling characteristics. The optimized system outperforms all other systems in both the parameters based on the rapid stabilizing time and minimum percentage overshoot. The optimized system comprises three membership functions for each of the inputs resulting in only nine rules thus enabling faster processing of the controller besides improved performance. The results manifest successful designing of an optimized fuzzy logic based control strategy for semi-active suspensions.
