AB  - When it comes to vehicle dynamics there are four types of ride control, there is passive, self-leveling, semi-active, and active suspension. All forms have advantages and disadvantages that are focused on accomplishing specific problems centered around safety and ride performance. Passive suspension utilizes set characteristics that attempt to control a frequency range of vehicle oscillations. Self-leveling suspension is a subset of passive suspension, with the main difference being the springs’ ability to compensate for varying loads. Semi-active suspension introduces time variant characteristics such as dampers capable of changing its damping rate given road inputs. Active suspension expands upon semi-active suspension to include capabilities such as producing vertical forces to counter road inputs. The first portion of this graduate research paper will present four passive vehicle models, a quarter-car model with two degrees of freedom, two half-car models (roll angle and pitch angle) with four degrees of freedom, and a full-car model with seven degrees of freedom. The second portion will use these models to introduce the concept of differing damping coefficients for compression and rebound to better represent a passive vehicle suspension. The intent of this research is to introduce the reader to vehicle suspensions and how performance can be evaluated through Root Mean Squared (RMS) acceleration, load fluctuations of each wheel, and road versus wheel displacement. Lastly, the paper will present findings on improvement in accuracy: 12% for RMS acceleration, 10% for load fluctuations, and 7% for road versus wheel displacement.
