Earlier work on the analysis of car suspensions was extended to conditions closer to normal driving patterns. Two aspects were considered: the measurement of the effects of low-frequency factors and the effects of changes in road surface. Whole body accelerations of the vehicle, measured at its center of gravity, were correlated with suspension loads produced by low-frequency maneuvers. The application of statistical analysis to suspension loads originating from road surface roughness was extended by identifying road surface types.
