Method and system for aligning a vehicle with an artificial horizon

摘要

A method and system for positioning a vehicle chassis (304) in approximate alignment with a predetermined datum are provided. The vehicle (502) includes a first longitudinal end adapted to be pivotally connected to a substantially fixed point (506) and a second longitudinal end including at least one axle (312) and an operatively associated two-corner fluid suspension system (307, 309). According to the method, the fluid suspension system (307, 309) controls the alignment of the vehicle chassis (304) to be aligned with an artificial horizon represented as the predetermined datum.
