Vibrational Behaviour of a Quarter Car Travelling over Road Humps with Different Suspension Systems

Abstract

Due to the unawareness of some vehicles drivers to abide by the limited speeds many authorities have had to set up road speed humps to calm down the vehicles flow especially in densely populated areas And as a result bad vehicles ride comfort is produced from the suspension system Therefore researchers and car manufacturers were interested in improving the vibrational behaviour of the vehicle while traveling over humps In this study the vibrational behaviour of the vehicle was studied while traveling over different types of road humps using passive semi-active and active suspension systems
