Abstract:
This paper describes the application of active suspension
system in multi-body dynamics system software for ride comfort and
road handling performance. In active suspension system, the most
simulation software used by researchers is MATLAB/Simulink,
ADAMS, and etc. For their ride quality test and road handling test.
The concept of multi-body dynamics system software (CarSim)
provides a
real car specification
based
on
the
automotive
engineering standard. The main parameters of active suspension
system are the jounce or suspension deflection, damping force, wheel
deflection, and velocity of the car body. The CarSim also provide
various type vehicle selections especially for commercial car in
different classes. The parameter setting in the CarSim is similar to
the specification in the real commercial car. The results show the
parameter response of active suspension system in different type of analysis.
