Potentials of Active and Semiactive Skyhook Control Laws applied to the Secondary Suspensions of Railway Vehicles

Keywords: activ, semiactiv, suspension control, skyhook, complementary filter

In this paper the potential of skyhook controlled active and semiactive force elements in the secondary suspension of rail vehicles in relation to ride comfort and suspension deflection is investigated. A systematical approach is presented, which leads to a reasonable comparison between passive and active systems. It is shown, that using ideal sensors, force elements and signal processing the benefit in ride comfort of the investigated skyhook concepts is no more than 10% due to the deterministic part of the investigated track.
