Vehicles with dynamic suspension

Item 1 : Shock absorber and spring assembly

Continuous damping control shock absorbers provide dynamic front suspension. A continuous damping control shock absorber creates a damping force which depends on the velocity of the vehicle and an electrical current applied to the continuous damping control shock absorber. The electronic stability program (ESP) sensors, acceleration sensors and displacement sensors provide information to the dynamic suspension electronic control unit (ECU), which detects the state of heave, roll, pitch, cornering and acceleration of the vehicle. The ECU then calculates the best damping characteristics for each wheel within 2 ms. The ECU sends an individual electrical current to each shock absorber to control the amount of damping required.
