Abstract One of the key issues in the design of an active or semi-active suspension system is to identify the appropriate control algorithm. This chapter describes the proposed modified skyhook control closed-loop feedback system and its effectiveness in a semi-active suspension system. The chapter comprises four main sections. The first section describes the proposed and three existing skyhook control algorithms, while the second section describes the road profile that needs to be generated to evaluate the controller performances. The third section presents the simulation of the quarter-car model as described in Chap. 3 with the semi-active control algorithms. The last section is comprised of simulation and experimental analysis of the Quanser quarter-car suspension plant designed and manufactured by Quanser Inc. The last two sections also compare the results of different control techniques and evaluate the proposed modified skyhook control algorithm. The comparison has been done in terms of ride comfort and road-handling performance. On the other hand, the evaluation consists of a human vibration perception test and admissible acceleration levels test based on ISO 2631.
