Active ride control on construction vehicles

A method for reducing oscillations in a work vehicle, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a load sensor circuit, an indication of a pressure exerted on a hydraulic actuator;
• transmitting, by the load sensor circuit, the indication of the pressure exerted on the hydraulic actuator to a pump to adjust a hydraulic displacement of the pump;
• receiving, by a processor, from one or more user input devices, a desired angle of a work implement coupled to the hydraulic actuator;
• receiving, by the processor from the one or more user input devices, a command to reduce oscillations of the work vehicle;
• and
• transmitting a signal, by the processor, to a flow director to adjust a flow of hydraulic fluid from a pump outlet to both a first chamber and a second chamber of the hydraulic actuator.

A hydraulic system comprising;

• a pump configured to cause a differential in hydraulic pressure between a pump inlet and a pump outlet;
• a flow director in hydraulic communication with the pump outlet and configured to adjust a flow of hydraulic fluid between one or more hydraulic components;
• a hydraulic actuator comprising a first chamber and a second chamber and configured to adjust a position of a work implement;
• and
• an angle sensor configured to receive a signal associated with an angle of the work implement;
• a load sensor configured to;
• receive an indication of the pressure exerted on the hydraulic actuator;
• and
• transmit the indication of the pressure exerted on the hydraulic actuator to the pump to adjust a hydraulic displacement of the pump;
• and
• a control system comprising processing circuitry and configured to:
• receive, by a processor from one or more user input devices, a desired angle of the work implement;
• receive, by the processor from the one or more user input devices, a command to reduce oscillations of a work vehicle;
• and
• transmit a control signal, by the processor, to the flow director to adjust the flow of hydraulic fluid from the pump outlet to both the first chamber and the second chamber of the hydraulic actuator.
