Abstract
A system for determining a displacement velocity signal for controlling an active wheel suspension of a land vehicle by open-loop and/or closed-loop control includes at least one Kalman filter, and at least one acceleration sensor arranged on a sprung mass of the land vehicle to sense a vertical acceleration of the sprung mass and to generate a corresponding acceleration signal supplied to the Kalman filter. The Kalman filter includes a mathematical motion model of the sprung mass, and input states of the Kalman filter include a vertical acceleration of the sprung mass, a vertical displacement velocity of the sprung mass, and a vertical displacement distance of the sprung mass. A displacement measurement signal having a value 0 is supplied continuously to the Kalman filter to determine the displacement velocity signal. Constant noise variance values of a measurement noise covariance matrix of the Kalman filter that are assigned to the displacement measurement signal are, in each case, set at one half of a maximum vertical displacement distance of the sprung mass.
