METHOD TO CONTROL THE ACTIVE SHOCK ABSORBERS OF A ROAD VEHICLE FEATURING THE LOWERING OF THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY

Method to control active shock absorbers (6) of a road vehicle (1). Each active shock absorber (6) is part of a suspension (5) connecting a frame (4) to a hub (3) of a wheel (2) and is provided with an actuator (10). The control method comprises the steps of: determining a longitudinal acceleration (a) and a transverse acceleration (a) of the road vehicle (1); establishing a desired lowering (h) of a centre (B) of gravity of the road vehicle (1) depending on the longitudinal acceleration (a) and on the transverse acceleration (a); and controlling the actuator (10) of each active shock absorber (6) so as to obtain the desired lowering (h) of the centre (B) of gravity.
