Survey of Advanced Suspension Developments and Related Optimal Control Applications11This paper was not presented at any IFAC meeting. This paper was recommended for publication in revised form by Editor Karl Johan Åström.,22Simple, mostly LQ-based optimal control concepts gave useful insight about performance potentials, bandwidth requirements, and optimal structure of advanced vehicle suspensions. The present paper reviews these optimal control applications and related practical developments.
