Abstract
A retrofitable or OEM installed vehicle suspension system at least one sensor (18) capable resolving pitch and/or roll of a vehicle. The sensor (18) output is used to control wheel position with respect to the vehicle by means of at least one wheel actuator (14). Thus, the suspension and wheel position is dynamically, significantly adjusted based on the irregularities of the terrain being traversed or the pitch and roll of the vehicle.
Claims12
A suspension adjustment system, comprising:
- at least one sensor, the sensor able to resolve changes in angle,
- at least one actuator attached to suspension components,
- an electronic circuit to decode said sensor data and generate position commands so that said position commands are used to control the position of said actuator whereby suspension position is adjusted.
A retrofitable vehicle suspension adjustment system, comprising:
- at least one sensor,
- at least one actuator,
- a communication means coupling said sensor to said actuator so that angular changes from said sensor control said actuator position whereby, the vehicle center of gravity is adjusted based on said sensor output.
