Abstract
Systems and method for assigning vehicle suspension dynamics are disclosed. Control signals that correspond to a current driving dynamic of a suspension system of a vehicle are generated. A vehicle state associated with the generated control signals is computed and a non-traditional suspension mode is selected. Based on the computed vehicle state and the selected suspension mode, a suspension height of the vehicle is adjusted.
Claims23
A method for assigning vehicle suspension dynamics:
- generating control signals corresponding to a current driving dynamic of a vehicle suspension system;
- computing a vehicle state associated with the generated control signals;
- when the computed vehicle state is indicative of an anomaly in a predetermined vehicle target, selecting an anomaly mitigation suspension mode, wherein the anomaly mitigation suspension mode is configured to control the vehicle suspension to achieve a desired suspension height for each of a plurality of predetermined vehicle targets, wherein the predetermined vehicle targets include chassis deterioration, a fuel economy target, a passive static suspension height (PSSH) compensation target, a terrain target, a traffic target, a weather target, and a parking target;
- and
- based on the computed vehicle state and the target anomaly, adjusting a suspension height of the vehicle.
