Abstract: A damper control system includes: a lane module configured to identify boundaries of a present lane of a vehicle in an image of a road in front of the vehicle captured using a forward facing camera; an oil module configured to, from the image, determine whether an area of oil is present on the road between the boundaries of the present lane of the vehicle; and a damping module configured to, when the area of oil is present on the road between the boundaries of the present lane of the vehicle, selectively adjust damping coefficients of adjustable dampers of the vehicle before the vehicle reaches the area of oil on the road.

Abstract: A system for controlling an active stabilizer bar in a vehicle includes a stabilizer bar associated with one or more wheels of the vehicle and a control module in communication with the stabilizer bar. The stabilizer bar is configured to be controlled according to a plurality of stiffness modes. Each stiffness mode is associated with a different amount of torque for the stabilizer bar. The control module is configured to control the stabilizer bar to operate according to a first stiffness mode of the plurality of stiffness modes, detect an anomaly in a path of the vehicle, and in response to detecting the anomaly, control the stabilizer bar to operate according to a second stiffness mode of the plurality of stiffness modes, the second stiffness mode being different than the first stiffness mode. Other examples systems and methods for controlling active stabilizer bars in vehicles are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for detecting and warning a user of an object in a path of a vehicle includes a detection module configured to detect an object in a path of a vehicle, and a control module in communication with the detection module. The control module is configured to receive vehicle data from one or more vehicle sensors, determine a height of the detected object, determine a ground clearance of the vehicle based on the received vehicle data, and in response to the height of the detected object being greater than a threshold based on the ground clearance of the vehicle, generate a signal to notify the user of the detected object. Other examples systems and methods for detecting and warning a user of an object in a path of a vehicle are also disclosed.

Abstract: A brake torque control system of a host vehicle includes a memory and a brake torque control module. The memory stores, for a braking event, multiple values indicative of whether an object has been detected forward of the host vehicle, a speed of the host vehicle, and an expected stopping distance or an expected stopping location of the host vehicle. The brake control module, based on the values, operates in an anti-pitch mode and reduces at least one of an amount of brake torque requested and a brake pressure applied for a last remaining portion of the braking event to reduce pitch of the host vehicle prior to coming to a complete stop and to not reduce the at least one of the amount of brake torque requested and the brake pressure applied for a portion of the braking event prior to the last remaining portion of the braking event.

Abstract: A suspension control system includes: an acceleration module configured to determine a predicted lateral acceleration of a vehicle in the future based on a radius of curvature of a road a predetermined distance in front of the vehicle; and at least one of: a damping module configured to, before the vehicle reaches the curvature, selectively adjust damping coefficients of adjustable dampers of the vehicle based on the predicted lateral acceleration; and an active roll control (ARC) control module configured to, before the vehicle reaches the curvature, selectively adjust stiffness of ARC devices of the vehicle based on the predicted lateral acceleration.

Abstract: An example detection system includes a sensor, a first module, and a second module. The sensor is positioned at at least one of a center of gravity of a vehicle and a wheel of the vehicle. The sensor is configured to measure (a) a first measurement of a parameter of the vehicle prior to the wheel contacting the obstacle and (b) a second measurement of the parameter of the vehicle while the vehicle is contacting the obstacle. The first module is configured to determine whether a change is present in the vehicle based on the first and second measurements, calculate a dimension of the obstacle, and store a global positioning system (GPS) location of the obstacle. The second module configured to actuate an actuator of the vehicle when the vehicle approaches the GPS location of the obstacle prior to the vehicle reaching the GPS location of the obstacle.

Abstract: A system for testing a suspension system of a vehicle includes an inertial measurement module and a suspension fault detection module. The inertial measurement module is configured to, while the vehicle is not moving, collect sensor data from one or more inertial measurement sensors for different states of the suspension system. The sensor data is indicative of inertial states of the vehicle while the suspension system is in each of the different states. The suspension fault detection module is configured to, based on the sensor data and a set of thresholds, determine whether a fault exists with the suspension system, isolate and identify the fault, and perform a countermeasure based on the detection of the fault.
