Method for adapting a transfer function of an active suspension of a vehicle

A method for adapting a transfer function of an active suspension of a vehicle, comprising:

• storing a surface profile of a section of road along which the vehicle drives in a control unit of the vehicle, wherein the surface profile is generated by the control unit of the vehicle on the basis of a shock absorber position, a tire deformation and recorded values of a sensor device set up to record uneven surfaces of the section of road, wherein the surface profile comprises an x-y-z coordinate system, wherein the x-y-z coordinate system defines an x-y plane wherein the distance between two uneven surfaces in the x-direction and y-direction synchronize the current geographical position of unevenness;
• activating the active suspension by the control unit according to a predetermined transfer function for adaptation to the surface profile with adjustment values to compensate for unevenness of the surface profile, wherein the surface profile, a current geographical position of the vehicle, a current speed, respective alignment of the wheels and a weight of the vehicle are provided as input variables for the predetermined transfer function, and wherein the adjustment values comprise a damping factor and valve settings of shock absorbers;
• recording vertical accelerations while driving along the section of road with at least one of a shock absorber sensor system and a tire sensor system;
• transferring the recorded vertical accelerations to the control unit;
• transferring the adjustment values and the recorded vertical accelerations from the vehicle to an external central computer;
• calculating the adjustment values for the section of road by the external central computer according to the predetermined transfer function;
• and
• transferring the adjustment values to the control unit for activating the active suspension.
