Abstract

A system for influencing the travel dynamics of an automobile includes at least two sensor units (S1, S2, S3) for capturing the movements of the vehicle. First evaluation units (A1) evaluate the signals of the sensor units, these first evaluation units being spatially combined with the aforementioned sensor units to a sensor module (10). Connected with the first evaluation units by linkage mans (11), second evaluation units (A21, A22, A23, A24) process the signals processed in the first evaluation units, dependent on a regulation and/or control objective, to activation signals for actuators which influence the vehicle movements.
