Abstract: A method dynamically stabilizes a vehicle having a suspension system including pneumatic air springs, with one air spring being associated with each wheel, each air spring being independently adjustable in height; an air spring valve associated with each air spring; and a reservoir containing a source of air. The method obtains data relating to at least lateral acceleration, yaw rate, roll rate, velocity and the steering wheel angle deviation of the vehicle. Thresholds are established, and the data is compared to the thresholds. If thresholds are exceeded, at least one air spring valve is automatically opened to increase air pressure in the associated air spring by receiving air from the reservoir, or to decrease air pressure in the associated air spring by returning air to the reservoir, so as to adjust a height of the associated air spring to help transfer the weight of the vehicle.

Abstract: An air suspension system for a vehicle comprises four corner assemblies, wherein one corner assembly is located at a suspension position corresponding to each of the wheel corners for the vehicle. An air supply unit including a compressor, and an ECU are connected to the corner assemblies. The air supply unit is capable of independently adjusting the corner assemblies from one another. A sensor for measuring jounce/rebound travel for a wheel is associated with each of the corner assemblies and the air suspension system is operable adjust the air pressure at each of the four corner assemblies to provide optimized traction for the vehicle when at least one of the wheels has a predetermined amount of travel.
