Abstract
A vehicle suspension control apparatus includes a mode determination device that determines a mode of a shock absorber for a vehicle, corresponding to an identified speed bump, when the speed bump is identified in front of the vehicle, a suspension control amount calculation device that calculates an amount of suspension control for passing over the speed bump, based on the determined mode of the shock absorber, and a controller that controls a suspension of the vehicle based on the calculated amount of suspension control.
Claims18
A vehicle suspension control apparatus, comprising:
- a mode determination device configured to determine a mode of a shock absorber for a vehicle, the mode corresponding to an identified speed bump, when the speed bump is identified in front of the vehicle;
- a suspension control amount calculation device configured to calculate an amount of suspension control for passing over the speed bump, based on the determined mode of the shock absorber;
- and
- a controller configured to control a suspension of the vehicle based on the calculated amount of suspension control,
- wherein the amount of suspension control includes at least one of an amount of control for a speed offset of the vehicle, an amount of control for a bump of the vehicle, or an amount of control for a sky hook of the vehicle.
A vehicle suspension control method, comprising:
- determining a mode of a shock absorber for a vehicle, the mode corresponding to an identified speed bump, when the speed bump is identified in front of the vehicle;
- calculating an amount of suspension control for passing over the speed bump, based on the determined mode of the shock absorber;
- and
- controlling a suspension of the vehicle based on the calculated amount of suspension control,
- wherein the amount of suspension control includes at least one of an amount of control for a speed offset of the vehicle, an amount of control for a bump of the vehicle, or an amount of control for a sky hook of the vehicle.
