Abstract
A device for operating a chassis of a two-track vehicle, in which each vehicle wheel is assigned a suspension spring, which carries the static body weight of the vehicle, and a vertical dynamics actuator, which is actuatable by a vertical dynamics control unit, having a tipping detection function which detects a tipping situation with a roll-over risk in which there is a danger that the vehicle will tip sideways on a transversely inclined roadway. When a roll-over risk is detected, the vertical dynamics control unit actuates the vertical dynamics actuators to avoid roll-over.

A device for operating a chassis of a two-track vehicle, in which each vehicle wheel is assigned a suspension spring, which carries the static body weight of the vehicle, and a vertical dynamics actuator, which is actuatable by a vertical dynamics control unit, having a tipping detection function which detects a tipping situation with a roll-over risk in which there is a danger that the vehicle will tip sideways on a transversely inclined roadway, wherein when a roll-over risk is detected, the vertical dynamics control unit actuates the vertical dynamics actuators to avoid roll-over, in particular to lower the vehicle center of gravity and/or to reduce the roll angle by stronger deflection on the uphill side until a tipping-proof body position of the vehicle is reached.
