Abstract

A method for logging the performance of a vehicle suspension system including the steps of measuring the dynamic effect of an impulsive load with an electronic weighing system, wherein the electronic weighing system is mounted onboard the vehicle, and determining one or more parameters selected from the group consisting of the dampening ratio of the suspension, the oscillation frequency of the suspension and the impact loading of the vehicle.

IPC Classes  ?

• G01M 17/04 - Suspension or damping
• B60G 9/00 - Resilient suspensions for a rigid axle or axle housing for two or more wheels

Abstract

A method for logging the performance of a vehicle suspension system including the dynamic effect of an impulsive load with an electronic weighing system (17), wherein the electronic weighing system (17) is mounted onboard the vehicle, and determining one or more parameters selected from the group consisting of the dampening ratio of the suspension, the oscillation frequency of the suspension and the impact loading of the vehicle as well as determining the condition of the road itself at any point and at any time.

IPC Classes  ?

• B62D 24/04 - Vehicle body mounted on resilient suspension for movement relative to the vehicle frame
• B60G 13/10 - Resilient suspensions characterised by arrangement, location, or type of vibration-dampers having dampers dissipating energy, e.g. frictionally of fluid type pneumatic
