A battery pack support assembly includes a plurality of isolators disposed between an outer support frame of a battery pack and longitudinal rails of a vehicle frame. Each isolator includes a housing, an elastic body and a fastener. The housing defines a central opening and opposed flanges. The opposed flanges are secured to a respective longitudinal rail. The elastic body is disposed within the central opening of the housing. The fastener extends laterally through the central opening of the housing and secures the elastic body to the outer support frame of the battery pack.

Acceleration data is received for each of a plurality of times t. . . t, from one or more components in a host vehicle. A traffic jam assist (TJA) system is based on the acceleration data, thereby actuating one or more of steering, braking, and propulsion.

A vehicle suspension control system includes a controller configured to receive recorded information related to a location and severity of a surface irregularity to be traversed by a vehicle, determine a desired damping force based on the information, and send a damper adjustment signal based on the desired damping force. The vehicle suspension control system further includes an adjustable damper configured to adjust a damping force of the vehicle suspension system in response to the damper adjustment signal. Methods include controlling vehicle suspension systems and gather information related to irregularities in a surface.

Systems and methods to control suspension of a vehicle are disclosed. An example apparatus includes one or more processors coupled to a vehicle. The one or more processors are to generate road profile data while the vehicle is moving and generate suspension control data based on the road profile data. A suspension of the vehicle is to be adjusted based on the suspension control data. The one or more processors also determine a distance traveled by the vehicle during a time interval. The time interval is associated with generating the road profile data or adjusting the suspension. The one or more processors also adjust the suspension based on the suspension control data, the distance, and a preview distance associated with the vehicle.
