Active Roll and Stability Control

Computer Simulation was extensively utilized in the design and development of the Active Roll Control (ARC) system on LandRover 4X4 vehicle. An ADAMS model was developed integrating the electronic controller, hydraulic activation and vehicle model into one system of various degrees of complexity. Simulation results not only correlated well with vehicle test results, but also provided invaluable design guidelines crucial for solving key stability issues and successful product launch.
