Active suspension with roll control by reducibly modified estimated transverse acceleration

摘要

In order to prevent an inverse rolling or an unnatural rolling of a vehicle body during a turning of the vehicle on a low friction road, in an active suspension having an actuator adapted to increase or decrease vehicle height at the corresponding portion so that the rolling of the vehicle body is suppressed by a control of the actuator carried out in response to a control amount based upon an actual transverse acceleration of the vehicle body and a control amount based upon an estimated transverse acceleration deduced from a steering angle and vehicle speed, the control amount based upon the estimated transverse acceleration is reduced relative to the control amount based upon the actual transverse acceleration when a discrepancy between the estimated transverse acceleration and the actual transverse acceleration increases beyond a predetermined limit of relationship.
