COORDINATION BETWEEN ACTIVE DOWNFORCE AND ACTIVE SUSPENSION CONTROLS FOR MAXIMIZED TIRE GRIP FOR A VEHICLE

Examples described herein provide a method for coordination between active downforce and active suspension controls for a vehicle that includes determining an optimal ride height for the vehicle based on current conditions of the vehicle. The method further includes determining a suspension actuator force to implement the optimal ride height for the vehicle. The method further includes controlling, by an active suspension system of the vehicle, an actuator using the suspension actuator force to achieve the optimal ride height for the vehicle.
