Vehicle suspension system plays a vital role in diminishing the vibration caused by the road roughness and prevent it from transmitting to the driver and the passenger. The semi-active suspensions contain spring and damping elements with variable properties, which can be changed by an external control. The work presented here is concerned with semi-active damper control for vibration isolation of base disturbances. Numerous control algorithms for semi active system had been suggested in the past, performed experimentally and validated with various computational models.In this work, the 2-DOF quarter car model with semi-active suspension, controlled by skyhook and balance logic with on-off and continuous control algorithms is being studied.The computational models are subjected to various road profiles like single half sine bump, random road disturbanceas typical Indian road scenario. So that the performance can be done as real time inputs. The simulation is being carried out on Matlab or Simulink.
