The paper presents a two-phase design technique for semiactive suspensions. In the first phase, we use a procedure proposed by Yoshida et al. to compute a target active control law that can be implemented by Optimal Gain Switching. This control law is such that the force generated by the suspension system is bounded within a set U. In the second phase, we approximate this target by controlling the damper coefficient of the semiactive suspension. We also compute the region of the state space in which the force generated by the semiactive suspension is still within the set U. The results of several simulations show that the use of a semiactive suspension leads to minimal loss with respect to optimal performance of an active suspension.
