Design for a preview control of semi-active suspension system using fuzzy-logic and image processing techniques

The paper presents a fuzzy logic model for a semi-active car suspension with preview control assisted by Image processing techniques and also emphasizing its benefits over passive suspension system. The proposed system determines and operates over the range of damping constant required for the acquired road profile. An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor has been suggested to determine suspension motion. This approach greatly reduces the rugged usage of a Magneto-Rheological damper while providing optimum vehicle stability and ride comfort.
