Abstract


The trends in the automotive field aim at providing all users with a high level of safety and a high degree of comfort. Current technologies combine increasingly judicious optimal control of most systems in the their componing. Thus, the highest level electronic equipment permanently adjusts the various systems and subsystems of the vehicles.The aim of the research is to determine optimal MRD functionality to reduce extreme shock and vibration values at the driver's seat during unbuilt  or very rough roads. Also, the identifying of these values its to view of correctly determining the supply current of the shock absorber coil so that the magnetic force created can efficiently absorb the accelerations produced beyond the limits allowed by the international standards in force. Carrying out the research involves multiple laboratory tests on MRD using the Hidropuls type, but also some references to vertical seat accelerations values recorded in the real world.

The expected results are to reduce physical activity on the spine, as well as increasing the comfort of the seated staff.
