Automotive suspension systems are key to ride comfort and handling performance enhancement. In the last decades semi-active and active suspension configurations have been the focus of intensive automotive engineering research, and have been implemented by the industry. The recent advances in road profile measurement and estimation systems make road-preview-based suspension control a viable solution for production vehicles. Despite the availability of a significant body of papers on the topic, the literature lacks a comprehensive and up-to-date survey on the variety of proposed techniques for suspension control with road preview, and the comparison of their effectiveness. To cover the gap, this literature review deals with the research conducted over the past decades on the topic of semi-active and active suspension controllers with road preview. The main formulations are reported for each control category, and the respective features are critically analysed, together with the most relevant performance indicators. The paper also discusses the effect of the road preview time on the resulting system performance, and identifies control development trends.

汽车悬架系统是提高乘坐舒适性和提高操控性能的关键。在过去的几十年中，半主动和主动悬架配置一直是密集汽车工程研究的重点，并已被行业实施。道路轮廓测量和估计系统的最新进展使基于道路预览的悬架控制成为生产车辆的可行解决方案。尽管有大量关于该主题的论文，但文献缺乏对道路预览悬架控制的各种提议技术及其有效性的比较的全面和最新调查。为了弥补这一差距，这篇文献综述涉及了过去几十年关于具有道路预览功能的半主动和主动悬架控制器主题的研究。报告了每个控制类别的主要公式，并对各自的特征以及最相关的性能指标进行了批判性分析。本文还讨论了道路预览时间对最终系统性能的影响，并确定了控制发展趋势。
