  • Patent number: 10086671
    Abstract: Provided are an electronic control suspension apparatus and a damping force controlling method thereof, which are capable of changing a damping force of a damper by just manipulating a multistep switch even during driving. The electronic control suspension apparatus for controlling a damping force of a damper installed at each of a front wheel and a rear wheel includes: a multistep switch disposed in a vehicle and configured to change the damping force of the damper in a multistep manner between a hard step and a soft step; and an electronic control unit configured to control the damping force of the damper according to a current amount corresponding to a step selected from the multistep switch, the current amount to be applied to a solenoid valve being preset for each step of the multistep switch.

  • Patent number: 9870657
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the control of a suspension system of vehicles, and more particularly, to a driver-customized damping control apparatus on the basis of the user's disposition information, and a method thereof. In particular, the present invention provides a damping control apparatus comprising: a mode determining unit that determines a damping mode of the vehicle according to a damping mode configuration signal; a receiving unit that receives a vehicle manipulation signal that is generated according to the vehicle manipulation of a driver; a driver-disposition analyzing unit that analyzes the vehicle manipulation signal and calculates a correction index for the correction of the damping force; and a damping force range determining unit that determines a final damping force range by correcting a damping force range predetermined for each damping mode on the basis of the correction index, and a method thereof.
