All suspension systems have a common goal, which is to improve the ride in terms of comfort, handling, and safety. This is accomplished by influencing the motions afflicted by road irregularities to the wheels and axles while minimizing their affect on the vehicle body and frame. A successful design would therefore incorporate (1) a high Sprung-To-Unsprung-Mass-Ratio, (2) a Mass-Spring-Damper System between the vehicle body and the wheels, and (3) an anti-roll bar. Consequently, the wheels and axles endure the most of the motions caused by road irregularities while their affect is minimized on the vehicle body as desired. The objective of the Anti-Roll Stability Suspension Technology (ARSST) is to become an industry standard active suspension system for all vehicles while simultaneously offering cost-effective and performance-enhancing control to improve vehicle handling, safety, and comfort.
