Aspects relate to control systems (100), air spring systems (300), vehicle suspension systems, vehicles (700), methods (600) and computer software for a multi-chamber air spring (200, 250) for a vehicle (700). The multi-chamber air spring (200, 250) comprises at least a first chamber (204, 254) and a second chamber (206, 256) and a valve (210, 260, 262) therebetween. The control system (100) comprises one or more controllers (110). An example control system (100) is configured to: receive a signal indicative of one or more vehicle parameters, the one or more vehicle parameters indicative of one or more vehicle driving conditions; determine a valve switching mode in dependence on the one or more vehicle parameters, wherein the valve switching mode is indicative of a current profile (400, 440) to operate the valve (210, 260, 262); and output a valve control signal to operate the valve (210, 260, 262) in accordance with the determined valve switching mode.
A control system for a multi-chamber air spring of a suspension system of a vehicle, the multi-chamber air spring comprising at least a first chamber and a second chamber and a valve therebetween, the control system comprising one or more controllers, the control system configured to:
