In order to achieve the high capability of the ride comfort and regulating the tire slip ratio, a preview of a nonlinear semi-active vibration control suspension system using a magnetorheological (MR) fluid damper is integrated with traction control in this paper. A controlled semi-active suspension system, which consists of the system controller and damper controller, was used to develop ride comfort, while the traction controller is utilized to reduce a generated slip between the vehicle speed and rotational rate of the tire. Both Fractional-Order Filtered Proportional-Integral-Derivative (P¯IλDμ) and Fuzzy Logic connected either series or parallel with P¯IλDμ are designed as various methodologies of a system controller to generate optimal tracking of the desired damping force. The signum function method is modified as a damper controller to calculate an applied input voltage to the MR damper coil based on both preview signals and the desired damping force tracking.
