Active suspension control for motor vehicle - has processor with programmed control for vertical and lateral displacements

摘要

The suspension has sensors for the displacement of the separate suspension units and with vertical- and horizontal motion sensors. The processor has a program of control responses to provide correction signals for the suspension element damping in relation to the combined motion of the vehicle, e.g. the combination of the vertical signals with the position and the horizontal signals with the position. The processor operates with digital signals and takes account of the effect of the damping rate in the suspension elements with signal change. The braking effects and the steering settings are also compensated for. ADVANTAGE - Improved handling, side comfort and safety.
