    The document discusses electronic vehicle suspensions that are controlled by a microprocessor. It notes that traditional suspensions separate the chassis and passenger seat and provide wheel stability. Electronic suspensions allow drivers to select different stiffness levels for rides through controls on the dashboard. They provide benefits like increased comfort and performance flexibility between vehicles, but have disadvantages like increased cost, complexity, and technical knowledge requirements. The document evaluates pros and cons of electronic suspensions.

    ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION

    Introduction-
    The vehicle suspension is a dynamic system using vehicle properties and
    simulating the response of the vehicle to various inputs and disturbances. The
    suspension separates the chassis and the passenger seat and provides a better
    stiffness for the wheels to be on the ground. The sole purpose of the suspension
    is to keep the wheels on road and provide comfort to the passenger. The recent
    developments give a wide range of options to select the control system, the
    control system needs to be selected at the time of design. The use of electronic
    suspensions which is controlled by a microprocessor has attracted a lot of
    interest in recent times. In this study, PID controllers parallel to McPherson
    strut-type independent suspensions are used. The major advantages of this
    control method is its relative simplicity in design and the availability of well-
    known standard hardware.
    In the last decade, many researchers applied some linear and non-linear control
    methods to vehicle models. Because of simplicity, quarter car models were most
    preferred.

    Procedure: -
    In modern vehicles suspension used is hydraulic suspension
    system, we can use electronic sensors to add or release the pressure as the fluid
    does, we can control the moment of monoshock needle electrically by providing
    input to the ECU by a series of programs. This enables the driver to select the
    suitable stiffness required for the ride. This modification increases number of
    buttons in the dashboard, making the dashboard complex.

    ADVANTAGES: -
    1. Provides options to driver based on his needs.
    2. Increases rider’s comfort.
    3. Smooth performance of suspension.
    4. Varies from vehicle to vehicle.
    DISADVANTAGES:
    1. Costlier
    2. Increase in number of buttons in dashboard.
    3. Rider requires basic technical knowledge.
    4. Involves new set of wiring harness.

    CONCLUSION:
    The pro’s and cons of using an electronic suspension is given
    above and discussed with the project guide.
