Abstract

A refined approach for the implementation of preview control in discrete time based on methods from earlier work is presented. This allows the use of multiple preview inputs and reduces the system order of a discrete-time preview system significantly with respect to former methods, while describing the dynamic system in an exact form and yielding an equivalent control law. This method is applied to a limited-bandwidth quarter-car system, which incorporates an actuator in series with a passive spring, the combination being in parallel with a passive damper. Control design is carried out using discrete-time linear quadratic regulator (LQR) theory with tire deflection, suspension working space, vertical body acceleration and control demand.
