11 results about "Ride height" patented technology

Ride height (also called ground clearance or simply clearance) is the amount of space between the base of an automobile tire and the lowest point (typically the axle); or, more properly, to the shortest distance between a flat, level surface, and the lowest part of a vehicle other than those parts designed to contact the ground (such as tires, tracks, skis, etc.). Ground clearance is measured with standard vehicle equipment, and for cars, is usually given with no cargo or passengers.

Method and architecture for powerhop identification and mitigation

ActiveUS12649474B2Other vehicle parametersTractorsRide heightControl theory
A method for powerhop identification and mitigation includes receiving sensor data of a vehicle, such as wheel speed; determining a wheel jerk characteristics of the vehicle based on the wheel speed; determining a ride height of the vehicle; determining whether the vehicle is experiencing powerhop based on the wheel jerk characteristics and the ride height of the vehicle; and in response to determining that the vehicle is experiencing powerhop, adjusting a torque of the vehicle to mitigate the powerhop.
