Fully-active suspension by autonomous low-loss hydraulic struts
by R.C. Clerk
International Journal of Vehicle Design (IJVD), Vol. 11, No. 4/5, 1990

Abstract: Buses would be advantaged - both as to passenger comfort and to vehicle maintenance and longevity - by a suspension system operating at or near zero rate as affecting the sprung mass. At the same time, such a system should be able to provide precise ride height and roll squat and dive-resisting forces at each wheel without reference to support forces at other wheels and at the same time with only indirectly related control of the unsprung masses by re-ingestion. Fully-active and semi-active suspension systems are described to achieve these objectives by all-hydraulic means.
