Active chassis control systems use wheel path sensors and low-g acceleration sensors to measure the wheel and body acceleration in the direction of the vehicle’s vertical axis (the z-axis).
The system control unit uses these incoming signals and additional information to determine the vehicle status. Depending on the control strategy, the optimum shock absorption force is calculated for each wheel and the active shock absorber is set to that amount. This resolves the traditional conflict of goals between sporty and comfortable chassis tuning, at least in part. AUMOVIO offers the sensor types needed for this task.
