Abstract

Tractor SX4187NT361K, which is manufactured by the Shaanxi Automobile Group Limited Corporation, is regarded as a prototype vehicle. This paper investigates an 1/4 car model with air springs for the tractor and a working model of air spring. A height PID control method for ECAS is designed, and its digital simulation is conducted. An ECAS test-bed is designed, and hardware of a measurement and control system for the test-bed is designed with DSPACE system, its softwares are also designed with Simulink and ControlDesk. Finally, active and passive tests of the ECAS are conducted through changing frequencies and desired heights, simulation and test results show that the PID height control method for ECAS is feasible.
