Method for Chassis Control of a Motor Vehicle, and Device for the Performance Thereof

A method for chassis control of a motor vehicle, comprising:

• controlling at least one shock absorber provided between a wheel and a body of the motor vehicle, wherein the shock absorber has a rebound stage with adjustable stiffness and a compression stage with adjustable stiffness, wherein the controlling of the shock absorber includes one of:
• i) increasing the stiffness of the compression stage for an initial compressive load of the shock absorber generated by a specified first movement of the body of the vehicle, and increasing the stiffness of the rebound stage for a subsequent tensile load of the shock absorber immediately following the initial compressive load generated by the specified first movement;
• or
• ii) increasing the stiffness of the rebound stage for an initial tensile load of the shock absorber generated by a specified second movement of the body of the vehicle, and increasing the stiffness of the compression stage for a subsequent compressive load of the shock absorber immediately following the initial tensile load generated by the specified second movement.

A device for chassis control of a motor vehicle, comprising:

• at least one shock absorber provided between a wheel and a body of the motor vehicle, wherein the shock absorber has a rebound stage with adjustable stiffness and a compression stage with adjustable stiffness, and wherein the shock absorber is adapted to be controlled by one of:
• i) increasing the stiffness of the compression stage for an initial compressive load of the shock absorber generated by a specified first movement of the body of the vehicle, and increasing the stiffness of the rebound stage for a subsequent tensile load of the shock absorber immediately following the initial compressive load generated by the specified first movement;
• or
• ii) increasing the stiffness of the rebound stage for an initial tensile load of the shock absorber generated by a specified second movement of the body of the vehicle, and increasing the stiffness of the compression stage for a subsequent compressive load of the shock absorber immediately following the initial tensile load generated by the specified second movement.
