This paper studies the adaptive event-triggered fuzzy control issue for active vehicle suspension systems with uncertainties. Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model is applied for considered systems. In the process of designing controller, a crucial problem, actuator failure, is taken into account. An adaptive event-triggered mechanism is adopted to economize limited communication resource. Compared with the traditional event-triggered scheme with a constant threshold, the adaptive event-triggered mechanism can save more resource effectively. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, an adaptive event-triggered fuzzy control approach is proposed to guarantee the desired performance. Meanwhile, suspension constrained requirements are also ensured. Finally, simulation examples are presented to testify the feasibility of the approach proposed in this paper.
