Zusammenfassung:An axle/suspension system (200) for a heavy-duty vehicle including a wheel and a sensor. The sensor is operatively connected to an air spring (224) mounted on the axle/suspension system (200) and is capable of detecting a condition of a road or the heavy-duty vehicle. The air spring (224) has a stiffness capable of being altered in response to the sensor and to reduce resonant load variation on the wheel.
