Abstract:
A control unit ( 18 ) for an active suspension system ( 14 ) of a vehicle ( 10 ) having one or more wheels ( 22 ), the control unit ( 18 ) comprising: at least one input for receiving a signal comprising data related to the topography of terrain in a driving direction of the vehicle ( 10 ); at least one output for outputting a control signal for controlling one or more suspension system actuators ( 34 ) associated with each respective wheel ( 22 ) of said one or more wheels ( 22 ); and a processing module arranged to: analyse received data to identify a surface feature ( 12 ); determine, in dependence on a current vehicle state, a desired wheel displacement relative to a body of the vehicle for each of said one or more wheels ( 22 ) when each wheel ( 22 ) negotiates the surface feature ( 12 ); determine a control signal for said one or more suspension system actuators ( 34 ) in dependence on each respective desired wheel displacement, wherein the control signal defines future adjustments to operation of the or each suspension system actuator ( 34 ) that are scheduled to coincide with a time period for which one or more wheels ( 22 ) of the vehicle ( 10 ) negotiates the surface feature ( 12 ); and output the said control signal.

Claim (Index 2):
The control unit of  claim 1 , wherein identifying a surface feature comprises determining a surface profile of the terrain in the driving direction.
