The traditional Linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control algorithm depends too much on expert experience during the selection of weighting coefficients. To solve this problem, we proposed a Genetic K-means clustering Linear quadratic (GKL) algorithm. Firstly, a 2-DOF 1/4 vehicle model and road input model are established. The weights of an LQR controller are optimized using a genetic algorithm. Then, a possible weighting space is constructed based on this optimal solution. Random weighting coefficients of each performance index are generated in this space. Next, LQR control for the 1/4 vehicle model is performed, and the simulation data are recorded automatically, with these random weighting values, different road classes, and driving speed. A machine learning dataset is built from these simulations. Finally, a K-means clustering algorithm is used to classify the LQR control active suspension into three performance modes: safety mode, comprehensive mode, and comfort mode. The optimal weighting matrix of each performance mode is determined to satisfy requirements for different types of drivers. The results show that the new GKL algorithm not only improves the suspension control effect but also realizes different performance modes. It can better adapt to the changes in driving conditions and drivers.
