Abstract: In order to reduce the number of sensors used in the vehicle active suspension system and improve the ride comfort and handling stability, this paper proposes a novel vehicle active suspension control approach based on an extended high gain observer (EHGO) approach. Firstly, for facilitating the controller design, the under-actuated active suspension dynamic model is transferred to a fully- actuated system dynamic model. Then the EHGO is constructed to estimate the unknown states and uncertainties according to the state functions of the active suspension control system. An output feedback controller based on EHGO is designed to improve the vertical ride comfort and handling stability of the active suspension. Furthermore, the closed-loop system is analysed to prove the boundedness of all the states. And the EHGO approach is proved to stabilise the active suspension by Lyapunov stability analysis also. Simulation and experiment results verify the effectiveness of the designed controller.
