Abstract
The present embodiments relate to a semi-active suspension control system that utilizes controllable dampers for the purpose of improving maneuverability and vehicle hull stabilization. The disclosed semi-active control system can work in conjunction with a height management unit and on vehicles having variable ride heights, and hull stability and maneuverability can be achieved regardless of vehicle payload and ride height.
