Abstract
Vehicular suspension system with apparatus for the measurement of at least one parameter related to suspended and/or nonsuspended vehicle parts. The apparatus has sensing units integrated into a vibration damper. The measurement is thereby made by a light source located inside an inertial mass, the light from which travels through at least one hole in the mass and strikes one or more photo elements located in the inside wall of a housing. This apparatus makes possible a direct evaluation of the signals. If necessary, digital words can be formed by different photo elements and holes for the determination of the position.
