Suspension systems are used to reduce vibrations/shocks transmitted to the vehicle body from the road/terrain being travelled in order to enhance driver/passenger comfort and protect cargo and chassis. Typical designs are a compromise between performance measures such as vehicle ride, handling, load capacity, size constraints and energy consumption.
The University of Waterloo is actively seeking automotive suppliers and manufacturers interested in commercializing an innovative, highly tunable air suspension system.
The new technology developed by the University of Waterloo researchers provides for a new class of road-adaptive suspension systems capable of independently tuning suspension stiffness and vehicle ride height corresponding to road conditions. Utilizing two pressurized chambers and a unique pneumatic control design, easy modification of suspension stiffness and ride height is made possible.
