ABSTRACT

This paper presents a novel approach to dynamically adjust the position of a vehicle platform utilizing IoT sensors and solenoid valve-controlled gas piston chambers. The system aims to maintain the platform’s horizontal orientation while navigating uneven terrains, such as speed breakers. The IoT sensors accurately measure the platform’s height relative to the ground and this height information is then transmitted to the solenoid valves, which regulate the pressure within the gas piston chambers. The proposed system demonstrates promising results in maintaining platform stability and increase the ride comfort during real-world road conditions. Though the focus shall be on only one model, other models will also be discussed. In addition, a mathematical model for controlling the air flow across the piston system is developed, which can be used to open and close the valve to raise or lower the piston to maintain the desired orientation of the vehicle. The proposed system has the potential to enhance ride comfort and safety in vehicles, and future research could focus on the development of adaptive suspension systems that can automatically adjust to different driving conditions.
