Abstract
This paper presents On Air Active, an advanced aftermarket air suspension control system engineered to enhance vehicle ride comfort and stability through intelligent algorithms and robust hardware design. Utilizing a single height sensor and an ATmega328PB microcontroller, the system dynamically adjusts air pressure to maintain optimal vehicle height across varying loads and road conditions. Extensive testing on over ten commercial and disability vehicles validated On Air Active's reliability, energy efficiency, and resilience in harsh environments. Additionally, preliminary work employing a Gaussian noise model has been conducted to simulate terrain variations, laying the groundwork for future integration of AI-driven terrain detection and real-time suspension adjustments. These innovations position On Air Active as a cost-effective, easy-to-install solution, setting new standards in the aftermarket air suspension industry and contributing to the advancement of intelligent vehicle systems.
