High-bandwidth active suspension technology

Designed to deliver a step-change in vehicle dynamics for broad market adoption

Powered by the Activalve

The core of the ClearMotion1 system is the Activalve, a software-centric electrohydraulic device that resides at each corner of the vehicle, constantly monitoring, processing, and responding to road conditions.

Response time

Each Activalve consists of three advanced components working together. When the controller detects a disturbance, the Activalve is instructed to counteract by exacting pressure in the actuator body.

One size
fits all

The Activalve is designed as part of the Full Active Actuator. The Activalve can be rotated or translated about the actuator axis and clocked to achieve fitment on the vehicle platform.

Comfort and Productivity

Mitigate pitch, roll and heave to transform the cabin experience


L2+ ADAS functionality is changing how we spend our time in transit, a key step towards making cars an extension of our home for entainment or relaxation, or the workplace enabling productivity. Vertical motion control is vital to realizing the ultimate promise of L3 and L4.

Performance

The ultimate cockpit — command & control


Crisp handling is a hallmark of most sports cars, but it comes at great cost – rider discomfort. ClearMotion employs hardware and software to reduce typical handling vs. comfort compromises while enhancing the driver-focused attributes of the ultimate cockpit.

Safety

Command force in an instant while knowing the road ahead


When an emergency stop is requested on a split mu surface, the vehicle tends to yaw. By modifying normal force at each corner, managed yaw rate and grip can yield a potential improvement in stopping distance.

Active suspension master controller: real-time software that networks the 4X Activalves in the vehicle to execute active motion control.


Active vs Proactive


CM1 does not need road surface data in advance while operating as an active suspension — accelerometers provide real-time information such that CM1 knows when to push and pull. For proactive suspension, see the possibilities enabled by RoadMotion.
