Hybrid suspension position and body velocity sensing system for automotive suspension control system.

摘要

A system for generating signal representative of the vertical velocity of the body of an automotive vehicle including position sensor (25) for sensing the relative vertical position of a road wheel and tire assembly (12) with respect to the body and for producing a suspension position signal corresponding to the road wheel and tire position and a processor (40) operatively associated with the position sensor for integrating the suspension position signal so as to produce a body velocity signal which is representative of the vertical velocity of the body. A control system utilizes the body vertical velocity signal in a variety of algorithms for adjusting the adjustable damping feature of an automotive suspension unit.
