A two degree of freedom dynamic model of a vehicle semi-active suspension system was given, which focused on the passenger¡¯s ride comfort perform-ance. A simulation with the given initial conditions has been devised in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simula-tion results were showing that there was an enhanced level of ride comfort for the vehicle semi-active sus-pension system with the skyhook surface sliding mode controller. %K Sliding Mode Control %K Skyhook Damper %K Fuzzy Logic Control %K Semi-Active Suspension System %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=444
