Shock mounted linear suspension height sensor with accelerometer

A suspension assembly of a vehicle, the suspension assembly comprising,

• a shock absorber operably coupled to a wheel assembly and a chassis of the vehicle;
• and
• a sensor assembly operably coupled to the shock absorber, the sensor assembly further comprising:
• a sensor for detecting displacement data of a target magnet;
• and
• a sensor casing operably coupled to an external body of the shock absorber of the suspension assembly and the sensor;
• wherein the sensor comprises a linear flexible printed circuit disposed along a longitudinal axis of the shock absorber to measure displacement data of the target magnet relative to the shock absorber to determine a suspension assembly position,
• wherein the sensor assembly further comprises a single axis accelerometer measuring rate of change of suspension velocity data in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the shock absorber, and
• wherein the target magnet operably coupled to the suspension assembly via a suspension assembly component other than the external body of the shock absorber.
