Tipping suspension system for road or rail vehicle - uses controlled pressurising and venting of suspension springs on opposite sides of vehicle

摘要

The tipping suspension system uses electronic regulators, for selectively supplying the suspension medium to or from the suspension devices on each side of the chassis, to allow the latter to tip when travelling around sharp bends. Pref. the tipping is controlled in dependence on the detected centrifugal force according to a programmed curve path, or alternatively is mat be activated by a sensor in the vehicle path, immediately infront of the curve. ADVANTAGE - Improved passanger comfort at high speeds.
