Computerized, central hydraulic, electronic variable suspension

For use in a vehicle having a plurality of wheels, wherein each wheel has a variable camber, a suspension system comprising;

• a lateral-acceleration-sensing means determining and providing lateral-acceleration input relating to lateral-acceleration of the vehicle;
• a plurality of camber-sensing means, each corresponding to a particular wheel and determining and providing camber input relating to the camber of the particular wheel;
• a plurality of camber-control means, each corresponding to a particular wheel and controlling the camber of the particular wheel;
• a computing means which receives the input from the lateral-acceleration-sensing means from each of the camber-sensing means, processes the inputs corresponding to at least one selected wheel, and provides a camber output to the camber-control means for controlling the camber of the at least one selected wheel;
• a plurality of body-roll-sensing means, each corresponding to a particular wheel and determining and providing body-roll input relating to lateral body-roll of the vehicle in a region proximate the particular wheel;
• a plurality of vertical-control means, each corresponding to a particular wheel and controlling a vertical distance between the particular wheel and a chassis;
• wherein the computing means receives the input from each of the body-roll-sensing means, processes the inputs corresponding to at least one selected wheel, and provides a vertical-output to the vertical-control means for controlling the vertical position of the at least one selected wheel;
• a plurality of vertical-acceleration-sensing means, each corresponding to a particular wheel and determining and providing vertical-acceleration input relating to vertical-acceleration of the vehicle in the region proximate the particular wheel;
• a plurality of variable positioned fulcrums, each coresponding to a particular wheel and connected to the chassis by a piston and cylinder, and wherein varying a position of the variable-positioned fulcrum varies an effective spring rate constant of the vehicle corresponding to the particular wheel;
• a plurality of positioning means, each corresponding to a particular wheel and for varying the position of the variable-positioned fulcrum;
• the computing means receiving and processing the vertical-acceleration inputs, and computing a forced vibrational input over time for at least one selected wheel;
• and
• the computer means providing a fulcrum-output to the positioning means corresponding to the selected wheel to vary the position of the variable-positioned fulcrum.
