Abstract: A simple and convenient matrix expression is derivedfor the performance index in the case of a linear vehicle model with two degreesof freedom and a preview active suspension, subject to a unit step road inputand employing optimal control. The usual quadratic integral–type performanceindex is assumed and the effect of an additional form of constraint is describedbriefly. The effects of preview time on the performance index and the optimalfeed–forward control are illustrated graphically for a particular example.
