for both passive and active suspension systems.
Figs. 17-19 show the performance of both passive
and active suspension systems subjected to 4 cm bumpy
road with 0.5 Hz, 0.75 Hz and 1 Hz road frequencies. The
ride comfort has been improved by reduced acceleration
using active suspension system. Important settling time for
three different road profiles has been reduced considerably.
Rattle space utilization has also been considerably reduced.
As excitation frequency increases, the performance of ac-
tive suspension deteriorates. However it is still better than
the passive suspension system.
Also, it is found that, at higher frequencies (1 Hz
and more) the performance of active suspension system
deteriorates as force tracking at higher frequencies is diffi-
cult because of the limitation of hydraulic system.
