TLDR
In this article, a system for vehicle roll control, a suspension device or an actuator is provided corresponding to each wheel of a vehicle, and resiliently suspends it from the vehicle body.Abstract:
In this system for vehicle roll control, a suspension device or an actuator is provided corresponding to each wheel of a vehicle, and resiliently suspends it from the vehicle body. Each such suspension device can alter its hardness or softness characteristics according to a control signal, while similarly the actuators are adapted to alter the suspended height of their wheels. A vehicle speed detecting device senses road speed, a steering angle detecting device senses steering angle, and a device detects the total vehicle body weight. A computing control device computes a predictive roll angle of the vehicle body from road speed and steering angle, and: if suspension devices are provided, controls them to be relatively hard when the absolute value of the predictive roll angle is larger than a threshold value, while controlling them to be relatively soft when the absolute value of the predictive roll angle is less than this threshold value; while, if actuators are provided, when the absolute value of the predictive roll angle is larger than a threshold value, it controls them in accordance with this predictive roll angle. Particularly, this computing device varies the threshold roll angle value according to the total vehicle body weight as detected by the weight detector, so as to decrease the threshold roll angle value along with increase of the total vehicle body weight.read more
