Research on Driving Performance of Vehicle Body Control Using Vehicle Height Adjustment System

In recent years, premium vehicles have increasingly incorporated suspension systems capable of adjusting ride height. The primary function of these systems is to enable the vehicle to traverse uneven terrain by elevating the chassis, thereby preventing contact between the underbody and the road surface. Notably, air spring-based mechanisms enhance ride comfort by modulating the wheel rate. The system proposed in this study achieves ride height adjustment through vertical displacement of the spring’s lower seat. By constructing a detailed mechanical topology model using a dynamic simulation tool, this research aims to evaluate the feasibility of improving driving performance not only through height regulation but also by actively controlling the vehicle’s posture during motion.
