This paper is concerned with the problem of reliable finite frequency (FF) control for a cloud-aided active quarter-car vehicle suspension system subject to actuator failure. Instead of considering the entire frequency domain, we study the FF control which could restrain the external vibration input more effectively in the concerned frequency domain. In order to improve network bandwidth utilization, an adaptive hybrid event-triggered scheme is proposed for the cloud-aided quarter-car suspension framework. A fault-tolerant controller is designed with considering the communication time-delay and event-triggered mechanism. The adaptive event-triggered condition and the reliable controller are co-designed. Finally, a quarter-car active suspension model is studied to illustrate the efficient performances of the designed controller and the proposed event-triggered scheme.
