Airsuspension Controller
VB-Airsuspension needs their new air suspension controller to be ISO26262 (functional safety)-ASIL C certified. This certification has a major impact on the development process, automation of processes and system architecture. The controller architecture needs to be prepared for active damping as well.
VB-airsuspension provides innovative air-suspension systems for light commercial vehicles (and ambulances, car-transporters or campers) to improve comfort, increased stability, or enabling a vehicle to lower or raise for easy access.
