Patent

CA 2081219

A method and apparatus for reducing suspension end- stop collisions is disclosed. The method and apparatus controls the operation of an isolation system having an adjustable damper assembly interconnecting relatively movable members to attenuate the transmission of forces therebetween, in which relative movement of the members is restricted beyond a certain limit by one or more end stops. Sensors monitor the conditions of the system such as the displacement, velocity and acceleration of the members. Damper command signals are provided to the damper assembly to adjust the damping characteristics of the assembly, as determined by the data, in accordance with both a primary control policy and an override control policy. The override control policy alters the damper command signals as necessary to increase the damping characteristics of the damper assembly at times when the isolation system is likely to meet or exceed the end stops in order to minimize the incidence of end-stop collisions.
