Comparison of the properties of active and semiactive suspension

In this article, the properties of active and semi-active suspension for heavy goods vehicles are compared. The criteria for the comparison are theRMS sprung mass vertical acceleration, RMS dynamic tyre force, and suspension power consumption. The active system is based on an air-spring with controlled in-flow and out-flow of the air. In the semi-active system, a controlled hydraulic damper is employed.(A)
