Hyundai Mobis develops new black technology to change the height of the vehicle body through navigation maps

According to businesskorea, Hyundai Mobis recently announced that it has recently developed a "preview air suspension technology" that can control the vehicle in advance based on navigation map information. This technology enables the car to adjust the vehicle body height according to the road information provided by the navigation system and absorb road vibrations.

Hyundai Mobis has been mass-producing an electronically controlled air suspension since 2012that keeps the height of the car at an optimal level regardless of the number of passengers or objects loaded by checking the car's status and movement. This time, the company upgraded the electronically controlled air suspension technology to enable the car to check and predict the road conditions ahead based on navigation map information, thereby controlling its own body.

The technology uses road information provided by the navigation system and starts working at an average distance of 500 meters from the target point. For example, if a car's navigation system tells it that there is a school zone ahead, the car will gradually lower the body and smoothly adjust the suspension mode.

Hyundai Mobis has completed a real-world evaluation of this technology using real cars on real roads in various driving environments such as school zones, speed bumps, railway crossings, and highway interchanges.

"We plan to develop an air suspension that will be well integrated with the camera sensor currently under development," said Kim Se-il, director of Hyundai Mobis' chassis and design research center.
