Agricultural machine suspension control system
An agricultural machine includes a frame, a ground-engaging element, a suspension system that movably supports the frame relative to the ground-engaging element, wherein the suspension system is configured to apply, for a given displacement of the frame relative to the ground-engaging element, a force based on a force-to-displacement relationship. A control system is configured to receive an input indicative of an operational state of the agricultural machine during operation on a terrain, and automatically control the suspension system to adjust the force-to-displacement relationship of the suspension system based on the operational state.
Systems and methods of adjustable suspensions for off-road recreational vehicles
A damping control system is provided for an off-road recreational vehicles having a suspension located between a ground engaging member and a vehicle frame and including at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping characteristic based on an input from a sensor.
ACTIVE CAMBERING SYSTEM CONTROLLED BY INPUT DERIVED FROM AN ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
A vehicle control system according to various embodiments can include a control unit that receives data from a plurality of sensors which monitors an electronic limited slip differential mounted to a vehicle and detects road conditions. A prediction module executed by a processor predicts, based on electronic limited slip differential data and road condition data received by the control unit, a wheel alignment adjustment for the road conditions that the vehicle approaches and encounters along a road and generates a control signal based on the predicted wheel alignment adjustment. A wheel alignment adjustment mechanism, connected to a wheel mounted to the vehicle, automatically adjusts the wheel alignment for the wheel in response to the control signal such that at least one of a camber angle, a toe angle, and a caster angle for the wheel is adjusted as the vehicle travels across varying road conditions.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSIONS FOR OFF-ROAD RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
A damping control system is provided for an off-road recreational vehicles having a suspension located between a ground engaging member and a vehicle frame and including at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping characteristic based on an input from a sensor.
