Electrically adjustable semiactive damper control

An arrangement for controlling the damping force for at least one vibration damper of a vehicle wheel suspension of a vehicle, the arrangement comprising:

• a damper for generating a damper force and said damper having a damper characteristic adjustable within an adjusting range for the damping force delimited by upper and lower limit values;
• means for detecting a first signal representing the vertical velocity at a part of said vehicle chassis as a suspended mass;
• means for detecting a second signal representing the vertical velocity of the unsuspended wheel mass;
• means for computing an input control signal based on said first and second signals for adjusting said damper characteristic within said adjusting range in accordance with a standard control method;
• a damping force unit for discretely or continuously adjusting said damping characteristic to said input control signal;
• and,
• means for changing said adjusting range in specific driving situations so as to cause one or both of said upper and lower limits to be raised or lowered.
