Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to an obstacle avoidance system with active suspensions. The obstacle avoidance system uses one or more active suspensions to lift or jump one or more corresponding wheels over an obstacle in the vehicle's path to avoid contact with the obstacle when the vehicle cannot practically drive over, steer around, or stop before hitting the obstacle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an obstacle avoidance system with active suspension. More specifically, the obstacle avoidance system of the present invention uses one or more active suspensions to cause one or more corresponding wheels to lift or bounce over obstacles in the path of the vehicle to avoid contact with the obstacles. Background technique [0002] Drivers often encounter road obstacles such as potholes, rocks, fallen branches and other debris while navigating their vehicles. In some situations, a driver may find it practically impossible to turn around an obstacle in the vehicle's path or to stop the vehicle before the vehicle hits the obstacle. For example, a driver driving on a rainy night may not have time to identify a large tree branch in the path of the vehicle to actually turn around the branch or stop the vehicle on a wet road surface before colliding with the branch. There continues to be a need for new and improved ...
