This paper systematically reviews research progress in semi-active suspension systems for agricultural machinery seats, focusing on key technologies and methods to enhance ride comfort. First, through an analysis of the comfort evaluation indicators and constraints of seat suspension systems, the current applications of variable stiffness and damping components, as well as semi-active control technologies, are outlined. Second, a comparative analysis of single control methods (such as PID control, fuzzy control, and sliding mode control) and composite control methods (such as fuzzy PID control, intelligent algorithm-based integrated control, and fuzzy sliding mode control) is conducted, with control mechanisms explained using principle block diagrams. Furthermore, key technical challenges in current research are summarized, including dynamic characteristic optimization design, adaptability to complex operating environments, and the robustness of control algorithms. Further research could explore the refinement of composite control strategies, the integrated application of intelligent materials, and the development of intelligent vibration damping technologies. This paper provides theoretical references for the optimization design and engineering practice of agricultural machinery suspension systems.
