Abstract

An active suspension system for a vehicle including elements for developing and executing a trajectory plan responsive to the path on which the vehicle is traveling. The system may include a location system for locating the vehicle, and a system for retrieving a road profile corresponding to the vehicle location.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Apparatus for use in a surface vehicle operating on a path, said path comprising vertical disturbances, said apparatus comprising:
a controllable suspension for actively suspending a payload with respect to a vertical disturbance input, and;
a trajectory developing system operatively coupled to said controllable suspension, said
trajectory developing system for developing a trajectory plan responsive to data specifically representative of said vert…
