Abstract: In this paper, an optimal fuzzy supervisor controller is developed to improve the performance of active suspension system. Fuzzy logic is used to tune each parameter of PID Controller and input membership function of fuzzy controller optimized by Discrete Action Reinforcement Learning Automata (DARLA) technique. Through simulation in MATLAB, it is shown that the performance of active suspension system has improved significantly compare to conventional PID controller which is tuned by Zigler- Nichols method.
