Abstract
A suspension module for a vehicle configured to be independently drivable and steerable of each of four wheels and a control method thereof may improve ride quality in various driving modes of the vehicle, such as oblique driving, crab driving, rotating driving, and the like, by controlling a suspension of a following wheel having an overlapped movement line using information on a road surface identified by a preceding wheel.
Claims20
A suspension module for a vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of suspensions operably connected to a plurality of wheels of the vehicle;
- a sensor unit configured to sense a state of the vehicle and/or a state of a road surface;
- and
- a controller configured to identify information on the state of the road surface, on which a preceding wheel of the wheels having an movement line overlapped with a movement path of a following wheel of the wheels passes, and control one of the suspensions operably connected to the following wheel using the information on the state of the road surface on which the preceding wheel passes.
