- Air ride suspension uses pressurized air bags instead of springs to carry vehicle loads, providing an extremely smooth ride. An electronic control system automatically adjusts air pressure to maintain consistent ride height regardless of load.
- The air suspension replaces conventional coil springs and uses four air springs to support the vehicle. An onboard air compressor and vent valve work together to automatically control air pressure and maintain proper ride height.
- By using air bags instead of metal springs, air suspension can provide both springing and shock absorbing in one system. Advanced systems are electronically controlled to actively adjust ride height and stiffness based on load conditions.
This is Mechanical project report on Fabrication of an Active Air Suspension System. Air ride suspension
carries the load on each axle with a pressurized air bag just as a high pressure balloon. This system provides
the smoothest and most shock free ride of any of the known vehicle suspension system. An air suspension
includes a multiple air spring assemblies that each includes a piston airbag and a primary airbag mounted over
the piston airbag. The main and piston air bags each have a variable volume that is controlled independently
of the other for active suspension control.

So according to me if you remove the suspension system, then you feel like in bull-cart in Audi, Mercedes, BMW type luxurious cars . The only diffrence is speed.
So the scope of Suspension System is Too Bright !!!
1) Suspension is the term given to the
system of springs, shock absorbers and
linkages that connect a vehicle to its
wheels
3) Serve a dual purpose – contributing to the
car's handling and braking.
2) Protects the vehicle itself and any cargo or
luggage from damage and wear
The suspension System of an automobile is one which separates the wheel/axle assembly from the body. The primary function of the suspension system is to isolate the vehicle structure from shocks & vibration due to irregularities of the road surface.

Traction control basically reduces the slip of the tires on icy surfaces when the car begins to accelerate and prevents wheels to spin. It uses a part of anti-lock braking system (ABS). There are certain indications which warn you to activate and deactivate traction control. While on snow, you should follow some warning signs and drive accordingly.

The simulation of a vehicles suspension system represents an important part of how the driver experiences ride quality. Without a suspension system, a vehicle acts in a stiff and uncomfortable way. The characteristics of a vehicles performance are dependent on the properties of the suspension. A model of this system would enable a manufacturer to test how certain changes to the properties change the behavior of the vehicle. This way they are able to see how the stiffness of the spring and damper in the suspension system affects the ride experience before building an actual car. This can also reduce the cost of development. The most basic suspension system consists of a spring and shock absorber and also includes the stiffness of the tire being used. More complex suspension systems consist of sensors that take into account and compensate for traction control, engine torque, steering, and braking systems.

2. ABOUT AIR RIDE SUSPENSION
Air ride suspension carries the load on each axle with a
pressurized air bag much like a high pressure balloon. Air ride
suspension systems have been in common use for over forty
years and have proven to provide the smoothest and most
shock-free ride of any known vehicle suspension system.
Modern air bags are constructed using the same methods as
a tire by using high strength cords which are then
encapsulated in rubber. These units are very durable in
service and have a proven life of many years.
3. In addition to providing extremely smooth ride quality, air ride
suspension also provides other important features. First, the
system automatically adjusts air pressure in the air bag so that
the trailer always rides at the same height, whether lightly
loaded or heavily loaded. This allows the suspension system
to always provide the maximum usable wheel travel
independent of trailer load In addition, the higher air bag
pressure associated with higher trailer loads, automatically
provides a stiffer suspension which is exactly what is required
for a smooth ride. The lower air bag pressure for lightly loaded
conditions, automatically provides for a softer suspension,
thus providing the same ride quality for all trailer loading
conditions. Since each axle is independently supported by its
own air bag, the air ride suspension is a truly, fully
independent suspension system.
4. The automatic control of the air bag pressure is accomplished
by a solid state electronic control system specifically designed
and packaged for vehicle use. This system continuously
monitors the "ride height" of the trailer suspension and
increases air pressure if the ride height is too low, by turning
on an on-board air compressor. The air compressor stops
automatically when the proper ride height is reached. If the
ride height is too high, an automatic vent valve vents excess
air pressure and stops venting when the proper ride height is
reached. All required electrical power is provided by a 12 volt
battery contained in the trailer equipment compartment
5. INTRODUCTION OF SUSPENSION SYSTEM
Suspension is the term given to the system of springs , shock
absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels .
Suspension systems serve a dual purpose — contributing to
the car's road holding handling and braking for good active
safety and driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants
comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road noise,
bumps, and vibrations, etc. These goals are generally at odds,
so the tuning of suspensions involves finding the right
compromise. It is important for the suspension to keep the
road wheel in contact with the road surface as much as
possible, because all the forces acting on the vehicle do so
through the contact patches of the tires. The suspension also
protects the vehicle itself and any cargo or luggage from
damage and wear. The design of front and rear suspension of
a car may be different.
7. Figure 1: Locating Suspension Units
A suspension system comprises springs, shock absorbers and
linkages. This suspension connects an automobile to its
wheels. The suspension systems not only help in the proper
functioning of the car's handling and braking, but also keep
vehicle occupants comfortable and make your drive smooth
and pleasant. It also protects the vehicle from wear and tear.
To know about the suspension system, one needs to know
about the spring rate or suspension rate. Various spring types
are used for different vehicles. In case of heavier suspension
loads, the spring rate is higher and vice versa. Spring rate is
measured as a ratio used to measure how resistant a spring is
to being compressed or expanded during the spring's
deflection Besides spring rate, one needs to take in account
the wheel rate. Wheel rate is the effective spring rate when
measured at the wheel. It is generally equal to or considerably
less than the spring rate.
8. There are two types of suspension systems- dependent and
independent. A dependent suspension comprises a beam that
holds wheels parallel to each other and perpendicular to the
axle. An independent suspension helps in the rising and falling
movement of the wheels. There is also a semi-dependent
suspension where the motion of one wheel affects the position
of the other but they are not rigidly attached to each other.
The dependent suspension includes Trailing arms, Satchell
link, Panhard rod, Watt's linkage, WOBLink and Mumford
linkage. The independent suspensions includes Swing axle,
Sliding pillar, MacPherson strut/Chapman strut, Upper and
lower A-arm (double wishbone), multi-link suspension, semi-
trailing arm suspension, swinging arm and leaf springs.
9. Air Spring:
Air springs combine spring and shock absorbing action in one
unit and were often used without metal springs. The first one
was developed by Cowey Motor Works of Great Britain in
1909. It was a cylinder that could be filled with air from a
bicycle pump through a valve in the upper part of the housing.
The lower half of the cylinder contained a diaphragm made of
rubber and cord which, because it was surrounded by air,
acted like a pneumatic tire. Its main problem was that it often
lost air.
The newest air spring, developed by Goodyear, is found on
some late-model Lincolns. Like the ones that have preceded
them, these ride-on-air units are more costly than
conventional springs and hydraulic shock absorbers.
10. The air suspension system is an air-operated, microprocessor
controlled suspension system. This system replaces the
conventional coil spring suspension and provides automatic
front and rear load leveling. The 4 air springs, made of rubber
and plastic, support the vehicle load at the front and rear
wheels'.
An air suspension supports the vehicle on the axles with an
arrangement of air bags instead of some type of steel spring,
leaf or coil, or some type of torsion spring arrangement. The
air bags are sometimes referred to as air springs or bellows.
Suspensions that have steel or torsion springs that are
supplemented by the use of air bags are not considered air
suspensions. There are combination systems that have both
air and steel springs. Usually the air suspension components
are used on the rear of the vehicle.
12. Figure 2: Advanced Air Suspension
Depending on the situation, this type of air suspension will
probably have to be dealt with for leveling purposes. Normally,
the air suspension is just one part of the air system on the
vehicle. Most (but not all) vehicle with an air suspension also
have air brakes along with other equipment that may be
operated with air. Any of these other systems can cause
problems with the air suspension. Other air systems including
the brake systems in general, will not be discussed in this
school. It is important to understand that on vehicles with air
systems, especially with air brakes, manufacturers must follow
specific regulations when designing their air systems. The
brake system will always be the main concern for the air
system. There will be safety features installed in the system
that make the brake system the main priority for the air
system.
