Patent ID: 8918253

Claim:
A vehicle suspension control method comprising: by a controller operatively coupled to a vehicle suspension for a wheel: repeatedly calculating a vertical velocity of the wheel until the vertical velocity exceeds a first velocity threshold, a time between each calculation of the vertical velocity being equal to a first time interval; in response to the vertical velocity exceeding the first velocity threshold, initiating a timer and maintaining a damping level of the vehicle suspension at an initial value while repeatedly recalculating the vertical velocity of the wheel until the recalculated vertical velocity exceeds a second velocity threshold, a time between each recalculation of the vertical velocity being equal to a second time interval, the second time interval being less than the first time interval; and in response to the recalculated vertical velocity exceeding the second velocity threshold before the timer exceeds a first time threshold, adjusting the vehicle suspension to increase the damping level of the suspension.
