This paper presents a novel ellipsoidal-based robust control design for vehicle active suspension systems operating under uncertain load conditions and subject to denial-of-service (DoS) cyberattacks. The proposed controller leverages a networked control system (NCS) architecture and employs bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs) reformulated into linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to synthesize a secure and robust state-feedback law. The resulting invariant ellipsoidal set ensures stability by minimizing the impact of road-induced disturbances and cyber threats. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed control scheme over traditional H ∞ methods in terms of stability and disturbance rejection. The approach enhances both riding comfort and control reliability in intelligent automotive applications.
