摘要:
A wheel braking system comprises a motor driven gear pump, a relief line connecting the pump discharge to the pump intake, a wheel brake unit connected to the pump discharge, and a flow restriction in the relief line. A control unit controls the motor for the pump in response to an output signal of a brake pedal sensor. The brake pedal sensor generates the output signal indicative of the brake pedal stamping force. The control unit determines a desired motor speed for the sensed brake pedal stamping force and operates the motor.

A suspension control system can precisely control the damping characteristics of vehicular suspension for successfully and satisfactorily providing anti-dive and anti-rebound feature. The suspension control system is adapted to detect vehicle deceleration on the basis of a variation of a vehicle speed and to compare the vehicle speed with a predetermined vehicle speed criteria across which damping characteristics of the vehicular suspension vary between a harder suspension mode and a softer suspension mode. The vehicle speed criteria is variable depending upon vehicle deceleration so that the criteria becomes higher when the magnitude of deceleration is greater than a predetermined level. By hardening the suspension at an earlier timing during relatively abrupt deceleration of the vehicle, the magnitude of nose dive is reduced and the magnitude of rebounding motion after nose-dive can be reduced. This assures riding comfort by reducing the magnitude of pitching behavior of the vehicle front end. On the other hand, by providing later timing for hardening the suspension while deceleration of the vehicle is relatively low, softer damping characteristics can be maintained for a longer period to assure riding comfort by successfully absorbing bounding and rebounding shock from the road surface.

A suspension control system is able to precisely adapt damping characteristics to the road condition, even when the vehicle passes over bump, manhole, hole and so forth. The suspension control system includes a road sensor which produces a road condition indicative signal. A controller is adapted to recognize bump, manhole, hole and so forth which causes temporary bounding and rebounding motion for the vehicle, on the basis of the road condition indicative signal from the road sensor. The controller produces a control signal to harden damping characteristics of suspension when bump, manhole, hole and so forth is detected with a given delay time. The delay time for changing damping characteristics is different at the front and rear suspension from each other so that each of the front and rear suspension can be stiffened at a good timing.

A suspension control system includes a suspension system variable of stiffness and/or damping characteristics, a road sensor producing a road condition indicative signal and a controller for controlling the stiffness and/or damping characteristics of the suspension system depending upon the road condition indicative signal value and the vehicle speed indicative signal value. The controller is detective of the vehicle speed in a predetermined normal speed range which is defined by a lower speed criteria and an upper speed criteria, for generally maintaining the stiffness or damping characteristics of the suspension in relatively soft. The controller is detective of the vehicle speed indicative signal value smaller than the foregoing lower speed criteria to increase sensitivity of the road sensor and/or harden the suspension system at harder level than that in the normal speed range when the roughness of the road surface beyond a rough road criteria. Also, the controller is detective of the vehicle speed indicative signal value greater than the upper speed criteria for increasing sensitivity of the road sensor and/or harden the suspension system at harder level than that in the normal speed range when the roughness of the road surface beyond a rough road criteria, the relative displacement between a vehicle body and a road wheel, a vehicle speed sensor producing a vehicle speed indicative signal.

An automatic vehicle height-adjusting system is applied to a vehicle including a sprung mass and an unsprung mass in contact with a road surface, the sprung mass being supported on the unsprung mass via a spring or the like. The system includes a sensor, which senses the distance between the sprung mass and the road surface and generates a distance signal indicative thereof. In response to the distance signal, a first discriminator or comparator determines whether or not the distance is less than a first predetermined value, and generates a first comparison signal indicative thereof. In response to the distance signal, a second discriminator or comparator determines whether or not the distance is greater than a second predetermined value, and generates a second comparison signal indicative thereof. The second predetermined value is chosen to be greater than the first predetermined value. In response to the first and second comparison signals, a control mechanism increases the height of the sprung mass with respect to the unsprung mass when the distance is less than the first predetermined value, and decreases the height of the sprung mass with respect to the unsprung mass when the distance is greater than the second predetermined value.

A suspension and steering control system includes a mode selection which enables a normal mode wherein the suspension is conditioned to produce a soft damping and sufficient power assistance to the steering to produce light steering characteristics and a sporty mode wherein the suspension is conditioned to produce a firm ride and the power assistance to the steering lowered to produce heavier steering characteritics. The system further includes an arrangement for sensing parameters which are related to the attitude of the vehicle and/or the suspension thereof and for (a) during the normal mode, temporarily conditioning the suspension to produce the firm ride characteristics if the attitude of the vehicle is apt to change beyond a predetermined amount, and for (b), during the sporty mode, temporarily conditioning the suspension to produce the soft ride in the event that no substantial changes in the vehicle attitude related parameters are sensed.

An automotive vehicle suspension having a damper with variable damping characteristics, specifically, an adjustable damping force. A controller responds to an application and release of the vehicle brakes by increasing the damping force, to suppress nose-dive of the vehicle at the beginning of braking and to suppress pitching motion of the vehicle at the end of braking.

A rear wheel steering control system which determines a target rear wheel steering angle in accordance with a steering angle of front wheels of the vehicle and steers the rear wheels so that the rear wheel steering angle is maintained equal to the target rear wheel steering angle, and is arranged not to decrease the difference between the target angle and the actual rear wheel steering angle immediately to zero, but to decrease the difference gradually in accordance with a distance traveled by the vehicle, in order to prevent the rear wheels from being steered too much in a direction opposite to a steered direction of the front wheels especially when the vehicle speed is low, and thereby prevent the rear of the vehicle from bumping against an object lying alongside the vehicle.
