Abstract:

This paper presents a differential-evolution- (DE-) optimized, independent multiloop proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller design for full-car nonlinear, electrohydraulic suspension systems. The multiloop PID control stabilises the actuator via force feedback and also improves the system performance. Controller gains are computed using manual tuning and through DE optimization to minimise a performance index, which addresses suspension travel, road holding, vehicle handling, ride comfort, and power consumption constraints. Simulation results showed superior performance of the DE-optimized PID-controlled active vehicle suspension system (AVSS) over the manually tuned PID-controlled AVSS and the passive vehicle suspension system (PVSS).
