This invention discloses a
robust control method for
air spring suspension based on adaptive event triggering. The method first constructs a quarter-vehicle
air spring suspension dynamic model considering nonlinear gas flow,
actuator saturation, and time-varying time
delay, and uses a generalized fuzzy hyperbolic tangent model (GFH) to approximate the nonlinear force of the
air spring with arbitrary accuracy. Secondly, an adaptive event triggering mechanism (AET) is designed, which significantly reduces the
solenoid valve switching frequency and the burden on the vehicle
network communication by dynamically adjusting the trigger threshold. Furthermore, based on
Lyapunov stability theory and a robust H∞ control framework, an adaptive event triggering robust H∞
neural network controller (AET-RNNC) is proposed, ensuring the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop
system under multiple constraints and meeting the preset H∞
performance index. Finally, the method is verified through AmeSim-Simulink co-
simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) real-time experiments: during the height adjustment process from 80 mm to -50 mm, the steady-state error is less than ±3 mm, the number of
solenoid valve triggers is reduced by more than 68% compared to traditional time triggering, and the
root mean square value of the
vehicle acceleration is reduced by 18.7%. This method significantly improves the adjustment accuracy, ride comfort, and lifespan of key components of electronically controlled
air suspension. It is particularly suitable for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and rail vehicles, and has high
engineering practical value and
mass production potential.
