Abstract
A method and a device for controlling the damping force of adjustable dampers in motor vehicles, particularly in commercial vehicles. The control of the damping force of adjustable dampers is effected in dependence on at least one parameter from which a chassis requirement and/or a road condition can be derived and which is provided by an off-board data source and the current values of which are received by the motor vehicle in driving mode.

A method for controlling a damping force of an adjustable damper in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- receiving, by the motor vehicle in a driving mode, at least one parameter value of a respective at least one parameter provided by an off-board data source;
- deriving at least one of a chassis requirement and a road condition from the at least one parameter value of the at least one parameter;
- and
- controlling the damping force of the adjustable damper based at least in part on the at least one parameter.
A device configured to control a damping force of an adjustable damper in a motor vehicle having a semi-active damper system, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive, in a driving mode, at least one parameter value of a respective at least one parameter provided by an off-board data source;
- and
- a processor configured to derive at least one of a chassis requirement and a road condition from the at least one parameter value of the at least one parameter;
- wherein control of the damping force of the adjustable damper is based at least in part on the at least one parameter.
A motor vehicle, comprising
- an adjustable damper;
- and
- a device comprising
- a receiver configured to receive, in a driving mode, at least one parameter value of a respective at least one parameter provided by an off-board data source;
- and
- a processor configured to derive at least one of a chassis requirement and a road condition from the at least one parameter value of the at least one parameter;
- wherein control of a damping force of the adjustable damper is based at least in part on the at least one parameter.
