An active chassis control for a motor vehicle with an adaptive control circuit for reducing body vibrations (Aactual) of the motor vehicle, in which a control unit is integrated, which, depending on a current body vibration (Aactual) or a parameter correlating therewith (a), controls a chassis actuator. The control unit is followed by an adaptive unit which adapts an actuating signal (S) generated by the control unit with a driving speed-dependent scaling factor (f(v)), in particular by generating an adapted actuating signal (S′) with which the chassis actuator can be controlled. Depending on the situation, a factor allowance (Δf) can be added to the driving speed-dependent scaling factor (f(v)) in the event of a significantly greater body vibration (Ao) in order to effectively dampen the significantly greater body vibration (Ao).
An active chassis control for a motor vehicle with an adaptive control circuit for reducing body vibrations (Aactual) of the motor vehicle, in which a control unit is integrated which controls a chassis actuator depending on a current body vibration (Aactual) or a parameter (a) correlated therewith, wherein the control unit is followed by an adaptive unit, which adapts an actuating signal (S) generated by the control unit with a driving speed-dependent scaling factor (f(v)), namely by generating an adapted control signal (S′) with which the chassis actuator can be controlled, wherein the driving speed-dependent scaling factor (f(v)) can be determined in a signal generation unit as a function of the current driving speed (v), and wherein in particular as the scaling factor (f(v)) increases, the body vibration damping effect of the chassis actuator increases with a simultaneous reduction in ride comfort, and in particular wherein, with a decreasing scaling factor (f(v)), the body vibration damping effect of the chassis actuator is reduced with a simultaneous increase in ride comfort, wherein an evaluation unit is assigned to the signal generation unit, which evaluation unit determines, in the presence of a significantly greater body vibration (Ao), a factor allowance (Δf) that can be added to the driving speed-dependent scaling factor (f(v)), specifically by generating a scaling factor (f) with which, in the adaptive unit, the adapted actuating signal (S′) can be generated in order to effectively dampen the significantly greater body vibration (Ao).
