Abstract: The dynamic performance of suspension system directly affects rider's comfort and driving stability of vehicles. Suspension is developed with relevant dynamic expression given to the suspension system. Thus, the mechanical and control designs are both available to share the active suspension model of a virtual vehicle so as to make both compatible with each other. The self-adaptive fuzzy PID control strategy is introduced to the suspension control to realize the online self-setting of all parameters in PID control process. The controls module in ADAMS was used to realize the joint simulation of ADAMS and MATLAB, of which the results showed that the self-adaptive fuzzy PID control strategy is reasonable and feasible. Compare with the passive suspension control, the control strategy will decrease effectively the acceleration of vehicle body, as well as the dynamic flexibility of suspension and relative dynamic load on tyres.
