This paper presents a backstepping sliding mode control (BSMC) method for an active anti-roll hydraulically interconnected suspension (HIS) system. The proposed control strategy enables the active HIS system tracking desired anti-roll moment within the working area. Based on the tracking error, the BSMC controller calculates the flowrate of the control cylinder. This flowrate successively changes the pressure in the accumulators and cylinder chambers, and finally determines the output anti-roll moment of the HIS. The HIS system parameters uncertainty and the system’s nonlinear characteristic are both considered in the proposed BSMC controller. To comprehensively design and validate the proposed control method, a 4-DOF half car model and a corresponding nonlinear active anti-roll HIS model are firstly established. Next, a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) upper layer controller is designed to optimize the vehicle’s roll motion, and the result of the LQR controller is set as a tracking target. Thereafter, the proposed BSMC bottom layer controller is designed to track the target moment. Finally, numerical simulation and experiments on the test bench are conducted to validate the proposed control method. The simulation and bench test results indicate that the proposed active HIS performs well in tracking target and tolerating disturbance. The proposed active HIS expands about additional ±1000 N/m dynamic anti-roll moment compared to a passive HIS at each roll angle, and the response time is less than 70 ms. The field test results show that the active HIS with proposed control method improves anti-roll property compared with a passive HIS by 23.3% in the double lane change test.
