How Does an Electronically Controlled Suspension Work?

[GenevieveLee]

Electronically controlled suspension works by using signals such as vehicle height, speed, steering angle and rate, and braking, which are processed by the electronic control unit to regulate the suspension actuators. This adjusts parameters like suspension stiffness and vehicle height, ensuring excellent ride comfort, handling stability, and off-road capability. The primary goal of an electronically controlled suspension system is to overcome the limitations of traditional passive suspensions by dynamically adjusting stiffness and damping force. This adaptation ensures the suspension characteristics align with road conditions and driving states, meeting both ride smoothness and handling stability requirements.
