Suspension System Optimization to Reduce Jerk Using Simulation and Real-Time Implementation Using TMS320C6713DSK

This paper provides an overview of the latest advances in road vehicle suspension design, dynamics, and control, together with the Reduction of jerk, in the context of vehicle ride, handling and stability. The general aspects of road vehicle suspension dynamics, design and jerk reduction management has been discussed, followed by descriptions of road roughness excitations with a particular emphasis on how they affects the Driver with the jerk. Passive suspension system designs and optimization to reduce vibration exposure to the driver of basically Single Track Vehicle (STV). Controlled suspensions are also reviewed and discussed. The paper concludes with some potential research topics, in particular those associated with boosting up to 30% the drive comfort and improving theperformance of the Articulated Vehicle.
