Claim 10:
11. A suspension system for a vehicle with a vehicle body and a chassis, the suspension system comprising: a leaf spring having in spring holders of a vehicle body and a central region connected to a chassis of the vehicle, for suspension of the vehicle body relative to the chassis, a distance measuring device for measuring a measurement distance of the vehicle body relative to the chassis and for outputting a measurement distance measurement signal, a memory device for storing a hysteresis field, a control and evaluation device which is configured to record the measurement distance measurement signal, to determine whether there is currently a loading or unloading process of the vehicle depending on the determination of the loading process or unloading process, to determine a relevant hysteresis curve of the hysteresis field, and to determine a current axle load projection value from the measurement distance measurement signal (S1) and the relevant hysteresis curve.
