  • Abstract
    This paper presents a fundamental vehicle suspension system using real-time computer control. This Computer-Optimized Adaptive Suspension Technology (COAST) consists of a microprocessor-controlled, fully integrated, adaptive suspension system. COAST is capable of providing near-optimum performance for any land surface vehicle in any environment and can be implemented in a relatively simple and cost-effective manner.
