Abstract

A method for actuating the vibration damper of a transportation vehicle wheel suspension including generating data which represents the topography of the roadway lying in front of the transportation vehicle; analyzing the data with respect to roadway unevenness; adjusting the vibration damper while taking into consideration the evaluation of the roadway unevenness, wherein the amplitude spectrum of the roadway unevenness is ascertained from the data; and generating a specification for the damping of the vibration damper based on the amplitude spectrum.
