        abstract = {Active suspension systems offer substantial improvements in ride comfort and vehicle handling over traditional passive designs. Integrating a mechanical inerter into such systems introduces an additional degree of freedom that can further enhance performance without significantly increasing system mass. In this study, a MATLAB/Simulink-based quarter-car model is developed to evaluate the performance of an active suspension system augmented by a mechanical inerter. Simulations are conducted under typical road disturbances to assess metrics such as body acceleration, suspension travel, and dynamic tire load. Results demonstrate that the active-inerter system yields notable improvements in vibration isolation and vehicle stability compared to both passive and standalone active configurations.},
