ABSTRACT
This paper presents a deep learning-based road recognition strategy for advanced suspension systems. A four-quarter suspension model with a magnetorheological (MR) damper is developed, and four typical road images with corresponding roughness data are collected. A back-propagation neural network based autoencoder and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are utilized to form the deep learning structure. By utilizing the multi-object genetic algorithm, the optimal parameters can be obtained, and the control current can be adaptively adjusted. Simulation results indicate that the designed structure can identify the road type accurately, and the recognition-based control strategy can improve the suspension performance effectively.
