Abstract
A sensor system for motion control of a moving unit such as a vehicle, which is comprised of a uniaxial physical value sensor having a single detection axis and the uniaxial physical value sensor being installed in a unsprung mass of a suspension device provided in the moving unit, wherein the detection axis of the uniaxial physical value sensor and the working axis of a vibration-buffering member provided on the suspension device are approximately parallel.

A sensor system for motion control of a moving unit, comprising:
- an uniaxial physical value sensor having a single detection axis, and
- said uniaxial physical value sensor being installed in an unsprung mass of a suspension device provided in said moving unit,
- wherein said detection axis of said uniaxial physical value sensor and an axis of a vibration-buffering member motion provided on said suspension device are approximately in parallel.
A sensor system for motion control of a moving unit, comprising:
- a multi-axial physical value sensor comprising a plurality of detection axes intersecting alternately at right angles, and
- said multi-axial physical value sensor being installed in an unsprung mass of a suspension device provided in said moving unit,
- wherein one detection axis of said multi-axial physical value sensor and an axis of a vibration-buffering member motion provided on said suspension device are arranged in approximately parallel;
- and
- the other detection axes of said multi-axial physical value sensor are oriented so as to intersect the axis of a vibration-buffering member motion provided on said suspension device at approximately right angles.
