Active suspension systems (ASSs) are crucial for realizing the improvement demand of ride comfort in autonomous vehicles (AVs). This paper presents a novel integrated robust preview control (PC) algorithm to further improve the ride comfort by effectively handling actuator delay. An augmented ASS model is first established to consider actuator delay. Then, to obtain the time-domain feedforward disturbance, updating the local spatial road dataset from sensing systems by low-pass filtering and introducing speed for conversion. A predictive control framework that utilizes preview road disturbances is developed to achieve better ride comfort. And assuming parameterized disturbances, it is transformed into a consistent quadratic programming (QP) problem for real-time application in ASS. Furthermore, an innovative design of combined observer provides accurate and robust observations under multiple uncertainties, with which the algorithm can effectively compensate for actuator delay under different road conditions. Finally, the bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) stability of the algorithm is well demonstrated. Simulation and bench test results indicate that the proposed algorithm can not only significantly improve road holding and ride comfort, but also realize a robust observation of the augmented ASS state. In addition, the solving time of the bench test satisfies the real-time requirements of the algorithm.
