Method and apparatus for controlling vehicle height

摘要

Vehicle height control for a motor vehicle which has height adjusting means for each of wheel suspensions and which is stationary on a distorted road surface. Height control is carried out for either one of the front wheel suspension pair and the rear wheel suspension pair to attain a reference vehicle height for both the left and right wheels of the one pair whereby the vehicle part having said one pair assumes an attitude parallel to the inclination of the road surface in a direction transverse to the vehicle part. For the other pair of the wheel suspensions, height control is carried out such that the opposite part of the vehicle with the other pair of the wheel suspension will assume an attitude substantially equivalent to the attitude of the first mentioned vehicle part, whereby a good balance is obtained between the contact loads of the wheels.
