METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ADAPTING THE DAMPING FORCE OF ADJUSTABLE AUTOMOTIVE DAMPERS IN MOTOR VEHICLES

摘要

The invention relates to a device and a method for adjusting the damping force adjustable dampers in motor vehicles, especially in commercial vehicles with semi-active damper systems. The adaptation of the damping force is effected as a function of at least one road information which is determined using the output data of at least one camera and which relate to an object and / or a change in the road surface in a road segment ahead in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle. Further, according to the method, distance information indicating a position, a distance and / or a time until reaching the object and / or the change of the road surface is determined depending on a pitch angle of the vehicle body relative to a body longitudinal axis, the pitch angle being from the Output signals of at least one spring travel sensor of a suspension direction of the chassis is determined.
