Multi-agent Integrated Control on Vehicle Semi-active Suspension and EPS

As shock absorption parts on chassis, semi-active suspension (SAS) is vital on vehicle riding comfortable. Electric power steering (EPS) system provides power to assist driver turning direction, which is significant impact on vehicle handling stability. In order to increased vehicle riding comfort and handling stability synchronously, an integrated control technology of SAS and EPS based on Multi-agent System (MAS) was proposed and aimed at deficient coordinated control of subsystems. Point out properties and characteristics of SAS agent, EPS agent, system agent, and so on. Founded coordination solving mechanism of integrated system through applied hierarchical method and MAS theory resolved match and coordinate control issue of SAS and EPS, and provided a new method for research vehicle chassis system.
