1. Specify the problem and define linguistic variables. 1.1 Problem definition.

Conventional shock absorbers combined with composite pneumatic springs which allow ride height adjustment or even ride height control. Ride height control is especially desirable in highway vehicles intended for occasional rough road use, as a means of improving handling and reducing aerodynamic drag by lowering the vehicle when operating on improved high speed roads. It refers to the situation when, for example, a car accelerates up and down a hill, and then slows to follow a turn, and the airflow around it cannot keep up and separates from it. This aerodynamic phenomenon creates an additional drag, slowing the car, and forcing you to push harder on the pedal, consuming more gas. The same applies to airplanes, boats, subs, and generally, any moving object following the rule.

Tuning parameter and problem encountered are mention.

For the first test run, the output for shock absorber is having problems. The percentage of the output in certain condition that mention above is not the same as we want. So, for problem in test condition 2 there has output 70% in high range output percentage. It suppose in very high range percentage which is 71% to 100%. For another problem in test condition 6, there having output in low range percentage output that is 29%. It suppose in very low range percentage output which is 0% to 25%. These problems also happen in test condition 7. So to encounter the problem we tune the shock absorber membership as picture shown below. Before tuning the shock absorber membership.

5. Analysis and Conclusion

Analysis For this project, it use four 5 input to generate the output. The input is Rotation Speed, Wind Speed, Distance Sensor, Weight Sensor and Level Sensor. And the output is Shock absorber. This project has two relations. The first relationship is between Rotation Speed, Wind Speed and Distance. The second relationship is between Weight and Level. First relationship produce 25 rules and second relationship produce 5 rules. All this rules we use AND function. The simulation is using the Fuzzy Tech, this fuzzy engine will analysis the data given to get the suitable result. The input has 5 membership functions per variable. 7 test conditions have done to know the result of the output. And in some condition the output is not achieved. To solve this problem, the parameter of the output must be tuning.

Conclusion To get the suitable output, most of the fuzzy logic must be tuning, because the membership of the each variable not exactly right. We tune the output variable because the Shock Absorber is the main part the project and we must get the correct value of output. After the tuning we can confirm this product is saving to use.
