Abstract Drawing from recent developments in the field, this article explores advanced control methodologies for active suspension systems with the aim of enhancing ride comfort and vehicle handling. The study systematically and comprehensively implements, simulates, and compares five control methods: Proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID), linear quadratic regulator (LQR), , , and synthesis in the context of half‐vehicle active suspension systems. By using a detailed system model that includes parameter uncertainties and performance weights, analysis, and simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of each control approach. The results provide valuable insights into the strengths and limitations of these methods, offering a comprehensive comparative analysis. Notably, the study reveals that control may not ensure stability for all possible combinations within a broad range of uncertainties, indicating the need for careful consideration in its application. The results and simulations thoroughly evaluate and compare the performance of each control strategy across various output responses, contributing to the advancement of more effective and reliable active suspension systems.
