  • Vehicle suspension control with compensation for yaw correcting active brake control
    Patent number: 6181997
    Abstract: A vehicle suspension system is responsive to an active brake signal from a brake system indicating the application of a greater braking force to one front corner brake than to the other front corner brake to affect vehicle yaw rate. The vehicle suspension system determines the relative velocities of the front corner suspension adjacent the front corner brake receiving the greater braking force and the diagonally opposed rear corner suspension and further determines a compression damping command for the front corner suspension and a rebound damping command for the rear corner suspension. While the active brake signal is present, the suspension control applies the compression damping command for the front corner suspension when its relative velocity indicates that it is in compression. While the active brake signal is present, the suspension control also applies the rebound damping command for the rear corner suspension when its relative indicates that it is in rebound.
