Improving the Performance of the Electric Vehicle Suspension System Using Sliding Mode Controller and PID Controller

The purpose of this paper is to show how to identify and handle suspension system vibrations using two different control strategies: Sliding Mode Control (SMC) and a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller. A four-degree-of-freedom (4DOF) half-car suspension model is used. Suspension performance factors such as ride comfort, suspension deflection, and vehicle handling necessitate a thorough control system. This control system, which is carried out with the MATLAB application, is made up of three components: the controller, the suspension system model, and input signals (road profile and actuator force). The simulation results illustrate a comparison between the uncontrolled suspension system and the half-car active suspension system's PID and SMC controllers.
