    General Articles
    • Survey of Advanced Suspension Developments and Related Optimal Control Applications, D.Hrovat, Automatica, Vol.33, No.10, pp.1781-1817, 1997. A comprehensive survey paper covering work on the active suspension problem, covering simple quarter-car, half-car and full-car models. The application of optimal control to these are systems are covered, as are related subjects such as, semi-active suspension and the use of robust, adaptive and non-linear controllers.
    • Using Simulink and Stateflow in Automotive Applications, Mathworks Technical Note Describes Simulink models for an engine, anti-lock brake system, clutch system, suspension system and hydraulic system. Enhancements to these models using Stateflow are also presented, giving Fault-tolerant Fuel Control System, Automatic Transmission Control, Electrohydraulic Servo Control and Modeling Stick-Slip Friction.
    • On-line PID Tuning for Engine idle-speed control using continuous action reinforcement learning automata, M.Howel and M.Best, Journal of Control Engineering Practice, Vol 8, 2000. On-line tuningof PID gains to minimise a performance objective first applied to simulation model and then a practical study using a Ford Zetec engine test cell.
    • An Electronic Controller for Adaptive Suspension, M.Kellet, IEE Review, Nov 1998. Description of development of the active suspension for a Rolls Royce Silver Seraph.
