ABSTRACT:
A vehicle comprises a chassis member, a ground engaging member mounted on the chassis member for supporting the same as the vehicle traverses a road surface, a load supporting member such as a seat mounted on the chassis mount, and an resilient component interposed between two of the members. An anticipating device monitors the condition of the road surface in advance of the point at which the ground engaging member engages the road surface; and the resilient component has an adjustment which is responsive to the anticipating device for dynamically controlling the spring constant of the resilient member as the ground engaging member engages the mounted point for the purpose of providing a controlled ride within the vehicle.
