The suspension system is very crucial when considering the ride comfort of vehicle driver and passengers. Most of
the research these days is based on the use of semi-active suspensions for vehicle suspension system. This system
having a semi-active suspension with MR dampers is promising way of improving the ride comfort. This paper
reviews the various ways of improving the ride comfort using various mathematical models, experimental work
and gives an overall conclusion of why using a semi-active suspension system with MR dampers is better than
using a passive system or an active system..
