Abstract:
1. A method for operating an at least semi-active chassis of a vehicle, comprising: determining with at least one sensor unit a height-profile of a road course which lies ahead in a driving direction of the vehicle; predefining multiple categories representative of respective potential obstacles that may be present on the road course as a function of respective geometric shapes of the potential obstacles, and storing the multiple categories; assigning an actual obstacle of the road course which is displayed in the height profile to one of the multiple predefined and stored categories as a function of a geometric shape of the actual obstacle; and proactively controlling with a control unit at least one actuating unit of the motor vehicle by transmitting to the at least one actuating unit a predetermined control signal assigned to the one of the multiple categories, thereby causing actuation of the actuating unit commensurate with the predetermined control signal, said predetermined control signal being calculated as a function of the respective potential obstacles of the predefined categories.
