Abstract

Suspension systems are actuated during braking and/or acceleration maneuvers whereby each wheel unit has a momentary normal force between the tire and road surface, i.e., the wheel load which is influenced in the direction of its greatest possible value. For that purpose, the progression of the wheel load, specifically the dynamic share, is determined from the sensed movements between the wheel units and the vehicle body and/or from the sensed movements of the wheel units. Results of a frequency analysis of the wheel loads and the time progression, specifically the time derivation of the wheel load, are utilized for adjustment of the suspension systems in the sense described above. The suspension systems between the vehicle body and wheels are during braking and/or acceleration maneuvers actuated whereby the mean spacing between the vehicle body and the wheels units is time-progressively reduced during the braking and/or acceleration maneuvers.
