Abstract:
A method for the determination of a vertical acceleration ({umlaut over (z)}W) of a wheel of a vehicle for use in a driving dynamics control or monitoring system comprising:a. determining a spring stroke acceleration (&Dgr;{umlaut over (z)}) of a spring loaded in vertical direction by the body of the vehicle and installed between the body and the wheel; b. determining a partial vertical body acceleration ({umlaut over (z)}B,V) effective on the body; and c. adding the spring stroke acceleration (&Dgr;{umlaut over (z)}) and the partial vertical body acceleration ({umlaut over (z)}B,V), in order to obtain the vertical acceleration ({umlaut over (z)}W).
