Abstract
An active suspension system, particularly for vehicles, having supporting units which each have an actively lift-adjustable regulating unit and a passive spring arranged in series thereto. Preferably, a damper is arranged at least in parallel to the spring. By use of various acceleration sensors, lifting, pitching, rolling, longitudinal and lateral accelerations of the vehicle body can be determined. By use of path sensors, the lifting positions of the supporting units are registered. A signal analysis permits the achievement of a definable suspension characteristic.
