Active Suspension Systems

Introduction
The vehicle suspension system is responsible for driving comfort and safety as the suspension carries the vehicle-body and transmits all forces between body and road. Passive suspension system consists of an energy dissipating element, which is the damper, and an energy-storing element, which is the spring. Since these two elements can not add energy to the system this kind of suspension systems are called passive. Passive suspension systems are subject to various trade offs when they are excited across a large frequency bandwidth. Active or adaptive suspension is an automotive technology that controls the vertical movement of the wheels via an on-board system rather than the movement being determined entirely by the surface on which the car is driving. The system therefore virtually eliminates body roll and pitch variation in many driving situations including cornering, accelerating, and braking.
