Problems solved by technology

Often, negative outcomes involving vehicles that carry loads are the result of improperly arranged and / or distributed loads within the vehicles.
Such outcomes can include crashes (e.g., jack-knifing), poor handling and maneuverability, sub-optimal fuel and / or time efficiency, and other undesirable vehicular operating conditions.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]The following description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to limit the invention to these preferred embodiments, but rather to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use this invention.

1. Overview

[0015]As shown in FIG. 1, the method 100 for vehicle load management includes: determining a vehicle condition parameter S110; determining an existing state of a vehicle suspension system S120; determining a desired state of the vehicle suspension system based on the vehicle condition parameter S130; and transforming the existing state of the vehicle suspension system into the desired state of the vehicle suspension system S140. The method 100 functions to manage the load carried by the vehicle (e.g., the vehicle load), and can include manipulating (e.g., actuating) the suspension system of the vehicle and / or instructing a vehicle operator to arrange the vehicle load such that the vehicle suspension system is transformed into the desired state. ...

Abstract

A method for analyzing and managing a vehicle load carried by a vehicle, the vehicle having a fluid suspension system, the method including sampling, at a manifold of the fluid suspension system, a set of fluid pressures corresponding to a set of fluid springs of the fluid suspension system, wherein the set of fluid springs supports the vehicle load; determining an existing stiffness distribution, the existing stiffness distribution including a stiffness value associated with each of the set of fluid springs; determining a contextual dataset during vehicle operation; determining a desired stiffness distribution based on the contextual dataset; automatically controlling the set of fluid springs at the plurality of actuation points based on the desired stiffness distribution, wherein controlling the set of fluid springs includes setting the stiffness value of the fluid spring associated with each of the plurality of actuation points.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 442,119 filed Jan. 4, 2017, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 564,953 filed Sep. 28, 2017, which are each incorporated in their entirety by this reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This invention relates generally to the vehicle load management field, and more specifically to a new and useful system and method for analysis and control of vehicle pressure systems in the vehicle load management field.BACKGROUND[0003]Often, negative outcomes involving vehicles that carry loads are the result of improperly arranged and / or distributed loads within the vehicles. Such outcomes can include crashes (e.g., jack-knifing), poor handling and maneuverability, sub-optimal fuel and / or time efficiency, and other undesirable vehicular operating conditions.[0004]Thus, there is a need in the vehicle load management field for a new and useful system and / or method to address such issue...
