A computerized suspension system that uses powered actuators. The actuators position a car's wheels in the best possible manner to deal with road and load.
Active wheel suspension is used to control the driving height of the racing cars, but has been banned in Formula One since 1993 when the FIA started a technical streamlining process to ensure a level playing field for the teams. The ban was also intended to reduce costs and re-establish the primacy of driver skill.
Controls ride height during a race and are controlled by a software aligned to each track, which helps to raise the downforce by suction under the car.
Software controlled method of automatically pitching the suspension for specific bends.
A computer-controlled suspension system that raises and lowers the vehicle’s body independently at each wheel to match changing road or dynamic conditions Read more SEE RELATED TERMS: stabilizer bar
An extremely sophisticated, computer controlled suspension system that uses powered actuators instead of conventional springs and shock absorbers. The actuators position a car's wheels in the best possible manner to deal with road disturbances and handling loads.
Hydraulic actuators in the suspension which control ride height during a race. The actuators were controlled by computer software aligned to each track. The constant ride height that was achieved raised the downforce by suction under the car, although it was prohibited by the FIA at the end of 1993.
Active suspension allows control of the vehicle body motions and therefore virtually eliminates body roll in many driving situations including cornering, accelerating, and braking.
