This paper deals with the design of a fault-tolerant control scheme of active suspension systems for vehicle ride comfort. Unknown actuator failures from a variety of reasons cause performance deterioration of the active suspension controller. The proposed fault-tolerant control algorithm consists of two parts: a compensation for actuator failure and a fault mode selector. The main function of the fault compensation strategy is to estimate and compensate for the loss of effectiveness of the actuators. A suspension state observer and a disturbance observer operate simultaneously to determine the feedback control input. The controller and observer have been developed based on a reduced full-car dynamic model that contains only the vehicle body dynamics. The main advantage of the proposed observer is that an easily accessible and inexpensive measurement is only required and the effect of unknown road disturbance on the estimation error is completely removed. To cope with complete failure cases, the fault mode selector is also designed to redistribute the control input to the remaining healthy actuators. Tracking of the loss of effectiveness of the actuators is used for the fault model identification. The performance of the proposed approach has been evaluated via simulation studies. It is shown that the vehicle ride comfort in the presence of actuator faults can be improved by the proposed combined strategy of the fault compensation method and the fault mode selector.

The problem of adaptive finite-time fault-tolerant control (FTC) and output constraints for a class of uncertain nonlinear half-vehicle active suspension systems (ASSs) are investigated in this work. Markovian variables are used to denote in terms of different random actuators failures. In adaptive backstepping design procedure, barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs) are adopted to constrain vertical motion and pitch motion to suppress the vibrations. Unknown functions and coefficients are approximated by the neural network (NN). Assisted by the stochastic practical finite-time theory and FTC theory, the proposed controller can ensure systems achieve stability in a finite time. Meanwhile, displacement and pitch angle in systems would not violate their maximum values, which imply both ride comfort and safety have been enhanced. In addition, all the signals in the closed-loop systems can be guaranteed to be semiglobal finite-time stable in probability (SGFSP). The simulation results illustrate the validity of the established scheme.

This paper proposes a hybrid fault-tolerant control strategy for nonlinear active suspension subjected to actuator faults and road disturbances. First, an augmented closed-loop system model is established for the nonlinear active suspension system with the actuator faults and road disturbances. Then, based on this model, a hybrid fault-tolerant controller that consists of a nominal state-feedback controller and a robust H∞ observer is proposed to stabilize the control plant under fault-free condition and further compensate for the suspension performance loss under the actuator fault condition. Finally, a half-vehicle active suspension example is exploited to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid fault-tolerant controller under various running conditions.
