Method for a controlled chassis for handling crests and dips

Abstract

A chassis control system for an active chassis, including a first operating state, the chassis control system in the first operating state is configured to use an absolute speed of a vehicle body to control a movement of the vehicle body; a second operating state, the chassis control system in the second operating state is configured to use a relative speed of the vehicle body between the vehicle body and a wheel to dampen the movement of the vehicle body at that wheel; and a third operating state, the third operating state has a blend factor α. The chassis control system is configured in the third operating state to assume the first operating state in a proportion of 1−α, where α is in the range 0 to 1, and the second operating state in a proportion of α; depending on the absolute speed of the vehicle body.
