CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VEHICLE SUSPENSION
A control system for a vehicle, comprising one or more controllers, configured to receive a collision warning signal, and modify one or more parameters of the vehicle suspension system in response to the received collision warning signal. In this way, the suspension may be automatically configured in a manner which assists the driver in carrying out a vehicle manoeuvre to avoid a potential collision.
System and method for an agricultural vehicle
A suspension control system can include a chassis and a suspension component operably coupled with the chassis. A boom assembly can be operably coupled with the chassis. One or more sensors can be configured to generate data indicative of a chassis orientation or boom assembly orientation relative to a level axis. A computing system can be communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors. The computing system can be configured to calculate an offset angle based on data from the one or more sensors, compare the offset angle to a defined correction threshold, and generate instructions to actuate the suspension component to lower the suspension component relative to a ground surface by a correction factor when the offset angle exceeds the defined correction threshold.
Shock stiffener system
Provided is an automatically controlled shock stiffening system. The automatically controlled shock stiffening system may include an electronic control unit receiving sensor input which automatically stiffens and softens a shock during operation. An override button is provided to immediately stiffen the shock in response to a user activating the override button. The system may include a main body with an oil flow aperture and a flow control system that operates to restrict the flow of oil between the reservoir and the shock. The automatically controlled shock stiffening system may be coupled between the reservoir and the bridge of the shock and operates to restrict flow of the oil in order to stiffen the shock immediately in response to activation of the override button.
