Method for aligning a level position of a stationary inclined motor vehicle in the horizontal direction

Abstract

A method for controlling the level position of a stationary, inclined vehicle using an actively adjustable chassis comprises a number of spring-damper units with associated height sensors. The spring-damper units are arranged between a vehicle body and an associated wheel of the vehicle. A respective actual height value of the vehicle body relative to the corresponding wheels is measured. The height sensors transmit the respective height value to an electronic control and regulation device. The electronic control and regulation device receives a roll and/or pitch angle of the vehicle body from a position sensor. For each spring-damper unit a target height value for aligning the vehicle in a horizontal level position is calculated by adding an inclined position correction value dependent on the roll and/or pitch angle to the respective actual height value and subtracting an average height value from the actual height values of all spring-damper units.
