Abstract

The aim of this paper is to report the design and development of an active suspension electronic controller, which is based on a microcontroller unit (MCU). This controller includes an input module, processing module, output module, communication module and interface module. Appropriate hardware and software is designed. The controller has the characteristics of indicating control status, communicating with the PC and being conveniently operated. It has the functions of controlling the static height and vibration of the suspension. Simulations and experimental results demonstrate that the controller can meet the control requirements of an active suspension system
