Abstract

Car enthusiasts everywhere value customization and industry performance. A suspension system in a vehicle offers comfort and safety to the passengers. Unevenness in the road condition causing jerk and discomfort to the occupants of the vehicle which directly reflected the steering of the vehicle. The present paper aims for designing a suspension part of the vehicle using MATLAB/Simulink software. Freedom of choice is provided using a simple and easily customizable MATLAB program. This program allows users to select a custom-built suspension system optimized for maximum performance to handle any type of terrain. The program will accept input parameters for car type and terrain and will optimize corresponding spring and shock values. All obtained dampening results are compared with the critically damped value to determine how close the system can be to the ideal value without over or under dampening.
