Abstract

Speed bumps are constructed on the road to control the vehicle speed. While passing through the bumps, the vehicle dynamic behaviour is critical to ride comfort and it is challenging for researcher. The present study is on the performance of four different private vehicles with four different speeds (10kmph, 20kmph, 30kmph and 40kmph) on three speed bumps. A half car model is developed in Matlab/Simulink®. The weighted RMS accelerations of these vehicles are evaluated as per vehicle ride comfort ISO-2631-1-1997. Linear control strategies are implemented to the model to improve the ride comfort.
