Automotive suspension systems are designed with the objective of isolating the vibrations produced because of road disturbances from being transferred to driver. In this paper a quarter car model with 2DOF is designed. The effect of speed bump as step function is analyzed for overshoot and settling time of sprung and unsprung mass. Matlab program was developed for the analysis using state space model. Program developed here can be used for and vehicles quarter car model with 2DOF for analysis, which will be beneficial in saving money required for test rigs and circuits.
