Aspects relate to a control system and method for a vehicle suspension system in a vehicle. The control system (100, 200) is configured to: receive a disturbance angle (316) of a roll bar of the vehicle suspension system, the disturbance angle indicative of a determined relative angular displacement between ends of the roll bar caused by the vehicle interacting with a driving surface; receive a displacement value (322) of an actuator motor of the actuator of the vehicle suspension system, the displacement value of the actuator motor indicative of a sensed displacement of the actuator motor caused by the vehicle interacting with the driving surface; determine, in dependence on the disturbance angle of the roll bar and the displacement value of the actuator motor, a torque estimation (332), the torque estimation representing an expected torque provided by the actuator motor to a roll bar connected to the actuator motor; and output the torque estimation to a further vehicle system.

A method of on-demand energy delivery to an active suspension system is disclosed. The suspension system includes an actuator body, a hydraulic pump, an electric motor, a plurality of sensors, an energy storage facility, and a controller. The method includes disposing an active suspension system in a vehicle between a wheel mount and a vehicle body, detecting a wheel event requiring control of the active suspension; and sourcing energy from the energy storage facility and delivering it to the electric motor in response to the wheel event.

The present invention field relates to a braking device of the tilting system of vehicles that have at least three wheels and can lean sideways by virtue of the presence a so-called wheel tilting system. The device is characterized in that it comprises an electronic control unit adapted to receive and process a plurality of signals coming from devices capable of detecting parameters related to the instantaneous dynamic behavior of the vehicle and to selectively actuate said braking means.

A load monitoring system and techniques estimate a load on a vehicle, such as a trailer, bus, RV, or other vehicle. The system includes a sensor having a main body housing and an alignment feature. The main body housing contacts a first surface of a suspension component and the alignment feature contacts a second surface of the suspension component.

In a four-wheel vehicle with vertically independently movable wheels (2, 2, 3, 3), diagonally opposite wheels (2, 2 or 3, 3) are connected to one another by respective cables (9, 90) guided over deflection rollers (11 to 15).

The traction cable mounting makes it possible to adapt the height of the wheels in the event of equal loading of the individual wheels independently of the terrain.

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 by a correction factor when the offset angle exceeds the defined correction threshold.

A device and method of controlling suspension settings according to a steering mode of a vehicle determines an attitude of a vehicle to easily secure a driver's field of view depending on various steering modes of the vehicle and determines a roll angle or pitch angle of the vehicle accordingly to control a suspension, so that a driver's anxiety or uncomfortableness caused by steering modes may be eliminated by securing the driver's field of view, and a driver's ride quality may be improved by allowing the driver to identify driving conditions that vary depending on a driving mode from a driver's view.

Apparatuses and systems for monitoring wheel alignment and/or for controlling vehicle suspension settings to adjust alignment. Described herein are alignment monitoring apparatuses for determining wheel alignment (e.g., camber, castor and/or toe). Also described herein are alignment adjusting or control apparatuses for adjusting one or more of camber, caster and/or toe.
