ABSTRACT:
An adaptive ride control for a wheeled vehicle having sprung and unsprung masses connected by a variable damper periodically senses, during a predetermined time period, the vertical separation between the sprung and unsprung masses and generates first and second numbers from the number of road-caused oscillations of said vertical separation and the maximum range of said vertical separation, respectively, during the predetermined time period. The control includes lookup memory apparatus effective to store damping control numbers as a function of predetermined values of said first and second numbers and uses the first and second numbers to periodically obtain damping control numbers therefrom in order to adjust the variable damper in response to sensed road conditions.
