Functions of Active Suspension n n n n Improves driver control, safety and stability, with or without a load. Eliminates sway and reduces roll on corners Reduces axle wrap Maximum safety Absorbs load, rather than resisting it, thereby ensuring a much more comfortable ride Eliminates the need for fitting extra blades which harden the ride Better handling and control in windy and rough road conditions Minimize wear on tires, shocks, shackles and leaf springs
Roll on Corners
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Active suspension mimics the functions of the human body n n The sensors are nerve ends The Electronic Control Unit represents our mind Wires connecting the whole thing are the central nervous system The servos and actuators resemble the musoskelatel portion.
Example Mercedes CL coupe
Draw-backs §Need for a large external power source §Complex control algorithms §Complex closed-loop control systems. §Requirement of fast-acting devices §Increased cost
Conclusion In the case of active suspension system, as in any other innovations of automotive technology, today's innovation is tomorrow's standard feature. Inspite of its high initial cost, let us expect to see them in the Indian roads soon. The trickle-down effect will take some time, but it'll happen and when such a time comes we can expect much lesser accidents, less fatalities and more comfort in driving the roads.
