In the dynamic and constantly evolving field of autonomous transportation, prioritising energy efficiency is of utmost importance in order to facilitate the sustainable implementation of public transportation systems. The present study investigates the significant influence of suspension systems on the energy economy of autonomous public transport vehicles. This study employs sophisticated simulations to examine the effects of various suspension systems on energy consumption, ride comfort, and stability across various road conditions. The results highlight the importance of optimised suspension systems, as they not only improve the comfort of passengers but also significantly decrease energy consumption. The study highlights the necessity of intelligent and adaptable systems that can dynamically modify suspension characteristics, hence facilitating the development of environmentally sustainable and economically feasible autonomous public transportation systems.
