  • Publication number: 20250010911
    Abstract: An independent steering control system includes independent steering systems steer wheels and a controller configured for determining a level of fault of each of the independent steering systems. When at least one independent steering system among the independent steering systems is determined to be completely unsteerable, the controller is configured to perform fault tolerant steering by changing steering angles of remaining independent steering systems among the independent steering systems determined to be normal.

  • Publication number: 20200398631
    Abstract: Provided is a system for estimating behavior of a vehicle to control damping force of a variable damper installed between an axle and a vehicle body. The system includes four dampers installed in wheels, two or more wheel sensors configured to detect vertical velocities of wheels, one integrated sensor installed on one side of the vehicle body, and an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to control damping force of the dampers on the basis of a roll value, a pitch value, and a bounce value of the vehicle body estimated through the integrated sensor and the vertical velocities of the wheels.

  • 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.
