It is well understood that improvements in the ride and handling performance of a motor vehicle can be obtained by fitting a variable damping system having at least two discrete settings. A two degree of freedom model will show that using automatically controlled variable dampers offers significant benefits over conventional designs by reducing the compromise between the requirements of ride and good handling. The high cost of todays adaptive damping systems has restricted their use to large luxury vehicles. However the potential for improvements in ride and handling is greater for smaller vehicles. A project to develop a system designed specifically for a B class vehicle is described and results presented demonstrating significant ride benefits.
