Abstract

A vehicle having an active chassis system with curve tilting function, comprises a control unit, which when negotiating a curve determines a vehicle tilting angle on the basis of a current vehicle transverse acceleration or a correlated driving operation parameter, by which the vehicle transverse acceleration can be reduced, wherein the control unit uses the vehicle tilting angle so determined to trigger actuators of a suspension/shock absorbing system in order to adjust the vehicle tilting angle. The curve tilting function incorporates a prediction unit which provides the curve negotiation data for an upcoming curve. The vehicle tilting angle is set in consideration of the curve negotiation data.
