Air suspension indvidual corner control to optimize traction

Abstract

An air suspension system for a vehicle comprises four corner assemblies, wherein one corner assembly is located at a suspension position corresponding to each of the wheel corners for the vehicle. An air supply unit including a compressor, and an ECU are connected to the corner assemblies. The air supply unit is capable of independently adjusting the corner assemblies from one another. A sensor for measuring jounce/rebound travel for a wheel is associated with each of the corner assemblies and the air suspension system is operable adjust the air pressure at each of the four corner assemblies to provide optimized traction for the vehicle when at least one of the wheels has a predetermined amount of travel.
