    摘要: The present technology is directed to identifying road surface features and underground features using a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) sensor. The present technology may include activating the GPR sensor on a vehicle to transmit a pulsed electromagnetic signal toward a ground surface. The present technology may also include receiving the pulsed electromagnetic signal reflected from the road surface features and underground features by the GPR sensor. The present technology may also include filtering the pulsed electromagnetic signal to generate a shallow-GPR data or deep-GPR data, wherein the shallow-GPR data is used to identify the road surface features and the deep-GPR is used to identify the underground features. The present technology may also include adjusting operational parameters based on at least one of the road surface features and the underground features.

    摘要: A damper control apparatus for controlling a front damper at a front wheel and a rear damper at a rear wheel. The damper control apparatus includes: a preview sensor configured to detect a road surface state in front of a vehicle; a steering angle sensor configured to detect a steering angle of the vehicle; and a controller configured to control the front and rear dampers based on a detected value of the preview sensor. In response to the steering angle sensor detecting a steering angle that exceeds a predetermined steering angle threshold, the controller is configured to reduce control of the rear damper that is based on the detected value of the preview sensor.
