Abstract: A system for damping control for a vehicle includes a parameter component and a damping adjustment component. The parameter component is configured to determine one or more driving parameters of a vehicle. The one or more driving parameters include a velocity of the vehicle. The damping adjustment component is configured to adjust damping of suspension of the vehicle during driving based on the one or more driving parameters. The damping adjustment component is also configured to adjust damping of suspension at a zero velocity for a threshold time period in response to transitioning from a non-zero velocity to the zero velocity.

Abstract: A suspension system includes a vehicle frame component, a suspension component coupled to and movable relative to the vehicle frame component, a flexible sensor, and a rotatable joint. The flexible sensor is elongated between a first end and a second end, and the first end of the flexible sensor is fixed relative to one of the vehicle frame component or the suspension component. The rotatable joint couples the second end of the flexible sensor to the other of the vehicle frame component or the suspension component.

Abstract: A vehicle suspension control system includes a controller configured to receive recorded information related to a location and severity of a surface irregularity to be traversed by a vehicle, determine a desired damping force based on the information, and send a damper adjustment signal based on the desired damping force. The vehicle suspension control system further includes an adjustable damper configured to adjust a damping force of the vehicle suspension system in response to the damper adjustment signal. Methods include controlling vehicle suspension systems and gather information related to irregularities in a surface.
