Abstract:
1. A method for moderating movement of a vehicle body of a motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of: detecting the movement of the vehicle body by means of sensors, feeding sensor signals corresponding to detected sensor values to a shock absorber control unit, generating a control signal with the shock absorber control unit based at least in part on the detected sensor values; and controlling actuators with the control signal to moderate the movement of the vehicle body, wherein the control signal further depends on status dependent control algorithms using status dependent filters and status dependent longitudinal and lateral dynamics modules for quasi-stationary and for dynamic processes, the status comprising selectable requirements for the movement of the vehicle body and driving safety requirements including at least a selectable demand for sportiness and a selectable demand for driving safety, and wherein the control signal further depends on at least one of the following: current and anticipated driving conditions, loading conditions, energy states, and driver activities.
