Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is renowned for its adaptability and intuitive decision-making capabilities in active suspension systems, which face challenges stemming from unpredictable disturbances and complex vehicle dynamics. In this study, we introduce a novel optimization approach termed WW-PSO, which merges particle swarm optimization (PSO) with water wave optimization (WWO), aiming to elevate the performance of an FLC-based active suspension system. WWO efficiently solves optimization problems by simulating natural water wave behaviors. The hybridization of PSO and WWO leverages their complementary exploration and exploitation capabilities, resulting in improved performance and robustness of the optimized controller. The performance of the proposed controller, which is augmented with a linear quadratic controller (LQR), is evaluated across three scenarios featuring different road profiles and compared against other recent optimization methods which include genetic algorithm, tent sparrow search algorithm (Tent-SSA), and ST-PS-SO which is a combination of PSO, sewing traineebased optimization, and symbiotic organism search. Simulation results show that the proposed WW-PSO significantly improves integral time absolute error (ITAE) for both body and wheel displacements, overshoot/undershoot (OS/US), and settling time. Specifically, the proposed method achieves a 53.37% improvement in ITAE, a 56.44% reduction in OS/US, and a 13.09% decrease in settling time for body displacements. For wheel displacements, it achieves a 52.90% improvement in ITAE, a 48.72% reduction in OS/US, and a 14.15% decrease in settling time. These enhancements demonstrate the hybrid method’s effectiveness in improving vehicle stability and passenger comfort across a range of road conditions.
