Abstract
An intelligent electronic air suspension system that automatically adjusts its air pressure includes a vehicle speed detector, a vehicle height detector, a level detector, a first pressure sensor, a control end, and four air struts on the vehicle suspension system. The data of the vehicle speed detector, the vehicle height detector, the level detector, and the first pressure sensor are integrated to obtain the dynamical condition of the moving vehicle and its position on the road. Such information is transmitted to the control end and displayed on the monitor end at the same time. According to needs, the user can set manual or automatic control to adjust the air struts so that passengers in the vehicle enjoy more comfort. The air struts can also be adjusted according to the driver's habits to have better controllability. Moreover, the vehicle height can be adjusted according to its load, ensuring the safety of both passengers and cargo.
