Vehicle having adjustable compression and rebound damping
A damping control system for a vehicle having a suspension located between a plurality of ground engaging members and a vehicle frame are disclosed. The vehicle including at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping characteristic.
VEHICLE HAVING ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION
A damping control system for a vehicle having a suspension located between a plurality of ground engaging members and a vehicle frame includes at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping profile.
Controller, vehicle, and control method
To obtain a controller capable of controlling a regular circular turning characteristic of a vehicle during turning. A controller according to the present invention is a controller that is mounted to a vehicle including a shock absorber of a damping force adjustment type provided between a vehicle body and a wheel and outputs a command signal corresponding to a damping force of the shock absorber to an actuator that adjusts the damping force of the shock absorber. The controller is configured to output the command signal to the actuator to adjust the damping force of the shock absorber and control a regular circular turning characteristic of the vehicle when the vehicle is brought into a stable turning state where the vehicle turns in a state where a degree of a change in a physical quantity associated with a travel posture is smaller than that in a reference state.
HANDLING EVASIVE MANEUVERS IN A TRACTOR-TRAILER VEHICLE COMBINATION
A computer-implemented method for controls stability of a vehicle, being a truck or tractor and at least one trailer comprising at least two wheel axles and an electronically controllable suspension system. The method identifies a possible instability state of the vehicle; determines a type of an event that has caused the possible instability state; determining one or more actions comprising adjusting a load distribution between the at least two wheel axles of the trailer based on the possible instability state and based on the type of the event that has caused the possible instability state; and generates and sending a control command to the suspension system to perform the actions. The actions may comprise adjusting the load distribution between the at least two wheel axles of the trailer such that a load on a rear axle is increased and a load on a front axle is decreased.
VEHICLE HAVING ADJUSTABLE COMPRESSION AND REBOUND DAMPING
A damping control system for a vehicle having a suspension located between a plurality of ground engaging members and a vehicle frame are disclosed. The vehicle including at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping characteristic.
Suspension camber optimization
A suspension for a vehicle includes a knuckle, a lower control arm, an upper control arm, including an inner segment and an outer segment pivotally connected to one another, and a camber gain link interconnecting the upper control arm and the lower control arm, a pivotal position of the inner segment relative to the outer segment defining an effective length of the upper control arm and a camber angle of the knuckle, the camber gain link adapted to secure the pivotal connection of the inner segment and the outer segment and prevent pivotal movement of the inner segment and the outer segment relative to one another, thereby establishing a pivotal position of the inner segment relative to the outer segment, the effective length of the upper control arm and the camber angle of the knuckle.
