Abstract

An active chassis for a two-track vehicle provided with a wheel suspension. A wheel carrier carrying a vehicle wheel is connected via connecting rod to the vehicle structure. The camber behavior of the vehicle wheel is defined by a mechanical camber curve of the vehicle wheels that is predetermined by the rigid kinematics of the connected rods, which defines a mechanical adjustment of the camber angle of the vehicle wheel depending on a spring path of the vehicle structure, and which is controllable with an actuator controller which can be controlled by a chassis control device.
