An active suspension with preview is tested for rounded pulses and a stochastic road surface, and is compared to a passive suspension. The spectacular performance improvement obtained for a step function as road surface is not achieved but the improvement is still significant. The frequency response of the active suspension is determined for comparison with some suspension systems found in literature
An observer to reconstruct the preview information is presented. No model of the road surface is needed. From simulations, it appears that the observer reconstructs both deterministic and stochastic road surfaces satisfactory. However, the influence of measurement noise is not reduced sufficiently.
