ABSTRACT:
A system and method for controlling vehicle roll, such as during a cornering maneuver. The roll control system and method include a sensor for sensing roll of the vehicle, a roll control signal generator for generating a roll control signal in response to the sensed vehicle roll, a pressure differential valve for generating a high pressure fluid, and an actuator for compensating for the sensed vehicle body roll. The roll control system and method also include a fluid control device for controlling the actuator in response to the roll control signal. The control device ports both the actuator inlet and outlet to a fluid reservoir when the vehicle is driven along a straight line path, and ports one of the actuator inlet and outlet to the fluid reservoir and the other of the actuator inlet and outlet to the high pressure fluid when the vehicle is driven along a curved path.
