Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis and a plurality of wheel assemblies articulated with the chassis, each of the plurality of wheel assemblies comprising a rotatable wheel spaced away from the chassis. A vehicle includes a chassis and an articulated suspension system mounted to the chassis. A method includes comprising articulating at least one of a plurality of wheel assemblies with a chassis, each of the wheel assemblies including a rotatable wheel spaced apart from the chassis. A vehicle includes a chassis and articulatable means for rolling the chassis along a path.

Abstract: A method of controlling stability of a vehicle having an articulated suspension includes determining at least one dynamic property of the vehicle and manipulating the articulated suspension based on the at least one dynamic property to affect the stability of the vehicle. A method of controlling stability of a vehicle having an articulated suspension includes determining a damping scenario and adjusting damping levels of a plurality of active dampers of the articulated suspension. A method of controlling stability of a vehicle having an articulated suspension includes determining a load on each of a plurality of wheel assemblies of the articulated suspension and manipulating at least one component of the vehicle to affect at least one of a center of gravity of the vehicle and the vehicle's stability limits.

Abstract: A method of controlling traction in a vehicle having an articulated suspension includes determining a performance characteristic of the vehicle; determining a performance characteristic of at least one of a plurality of wheel assemblies of the articulated suspension; comparing the performance characteristic of the vehicle and the performance characteristic of the at least one of the plurality of wheel assemblies; and altering the performance of the vehicle based upon the comparison to affect the vehicle's traction. A method of controlling traction in a vehicle having an articulated suspension includes determining a load on each of a plurality of wheel assemblies of the articulated suspension and adjusting the articulated suspension such that each of the loads is within a predetermined range.
