An apparatus for estimating vehicle weight using a vehicle height adjusting device is provided. The apparatus includes a vehicle height adjusting device that raises or lowers four positions of front left (FL) and right (FR) sides and rear left (RL) and right (RR) sides of a vehicle body, respectively. A vehicle height controller operates the vehicle height adjusting device to raise or lower the FL and FR sides and the RL and RR sides of the vehicle body. A weight estimating unit measures time required for raising or lowering the vehicle body or operating speed of the vehicle body and calculates an expected vehicle weight value by comparing the time required or the operating speed with a preset reference data.

A stroke sensor includes a cover that covers a slide end on a protrusion side of a shaft in a slide region between the shaft and a housing while allowing a relative movement between the shaft and the housing, wherein a flange surface the extends radially outward from the slide end is provided on the housing, an axial direction seal that is in close contact with the flange surface in the axial line direction is provided on the cover, and a fixation member that presses the axial direction seal to be in contact with the flange surface is further provided.

A vehicle is provided including an electronic power steering system, an electronic throttle control system, and a stability control system.

A vehicle is provided including an electronic power steering system, an electronic throttle control system, and a stability control system.

The anti-dive control method for the automobile comprises: obtaining preset automobile operating condition parameters, and obtaining parameter values of the automobile operating condition parameters in real time; determining in real time whether the parameter values of the automobile operating condition parameters satisfy a preset first trigger condition or a preset second trigger condition; if the parameter values of the automobile operating condition parameters satisfy the preset first trigger condition, obtaining a preset first control strategy corresponding to the first trigger condition; implementing real-time control of the suspension damping force of the automobile according to the first control strategy; if the parameter values of the automobile operating condition parameters satisfy the preset second trigger condition, obtaining a preset second control strategy corresponding to the second trigger condition; and implementing real-time control of the suspension damping force of the automobile according to the second control strategy.

A collision mitigation system makes use of ladar sensors to identify obstacles and to predict unavoidable collisions therewith, and a duplex radio link in communication with secondary vehicles, and a number of external airbags deployable under the control of an airbag control unit, to reduce the forces of impact on the host vehicle, secondary vehicles, and bipeds and quadrupeds wandering into the roadway. A suspension modification system makes use of ladar sensors to identify road hazards, and make adaptations to a number of active suspension components, each with the ability to absorb shock, elevate or lower the vehicle, and adjust the spring rate of the individual wheel suspensions.

Methods and apparatus for adjusting a suspension of a vehicle are described herein. An example apparatus includes a memory storing a plurality of suspension profiles. Each of the suspension profiles includes a stored performance parameter of a vehicle and a suspension setting. The apparatus includes a sensor to detect a driver performance parameter of a driver driving the vehicle. The driver performance parameter represents a behaviour of the driver of the vehicle. The apparatus further includes a processor to compare the driver performance parameter to at least one of the plurality of suspension profiles stored in the memory, and a controller to adjust a suspension of the vehicle according to a first suspension setting of a first suspension profile of the plurality of suspension profiles if the driver performance parameter corresponds to a first stored performance parameter of the first suspension profile.
