  • Publication number: 20210339593
    Abstract: A process for correcting longitudinal roll from an offset load using active roll control within a vehicle is provided. The process includes, within a computerized controller using axle-based control to control a suspension system, operating programming to control pneumatic pressure supplied to each of a plurality of air spring devices within the suspension system to execute a vehicle leveling event including one of adjusting a height of the vehicle or maintaining the height of the vehicle. The process further includes operating programming to, simultaneously with the controlling the pneumatic pressure, utilize a plurality of active sway bars to provide an offset torque to the vehicle body. Each of the plurality of active sway bars is associated with one of a plurality of axles. Providing the offset torque is based upon a number of moles of air in each of the plurality of air spring devices and reducing the longitudinal roll.

  • Publication number: 20200158507
    Abstract: In accordance with certain embodiments, a vehicle is provided that includes a location system, an operation system, and a processor. The location system is configured to obtain location data pertaining to the vehicle. The operation system is configured to provide a feature for operation of the vehicle. The processor is coupled to the location system and the operation system, and is configured to: identify a point of interest in proximity to the vehicle based on the location data; determine a category to which the point of interest belongs; and provide instructions for the operation system to initiate a setting for the feature for operation of the vehicle based on the category for the point of interest that is in proximity to the vehicle and a history of the vehicle.
