Disturbance observer-based sliding mode control (SMC) on the active vertical suspension (AVS) is developed to suppress the car body’s rigid and flexible vibration to improve ride comfort for a high-speed rail vehicle. A vertical-dynamics-intended vehicle model is foremost built with the bounce, pitch, and bending mode of the car body involved. Two sliding surfaces and disturbance observers are then designed for SMC, which only require the car body states, obviating the bogies’ states. The observer is successful in estimating the effect of unknown track irregularities perturbation as well as externally straightforwardly excitations on the car body with good accuracy. Control efficacy is verified through comparison with passive cases and sky-hook controls. With modal damping below 2% in passive cases, the mode shape function, especially with large displacement at the suspension support, would enlarge the car body acceleration. Moreover, the longitudinal traction rod can significantly multiply the flexible vibration at certain speeds. Comparative studies indicate that SMC provides satisfactory outcomes in the rigid and bending vibration suppression when all the car body’s three modes are considered in the sliding surface. However, it requires a high-frequency response actuator and allows a tighter tolerance of the control time delay than the sky-hook control.
