System to generate signals for control or regulation of a controllable or regulable chassis

A semi-active control system for controlling and regulating a vehicle, said vehicle including a vehicle body which is subject to heave, pitch, and roll movements, said body connected to a plurality of wheels disposed on at least two axles, a plurality of adjustable suspension systems, said plurality of suspension systems connected at respective attachment points to said body and to respective said wheels, said plurality of suspension systems adjustable to influence movements of respective wheels relative to said body, said control system comprising:

• means for determining a plurality of first signals which respectively represent velocities of first body movements at respective preselected points of said body;
• means for generating second signals which respectively represent movements of respective wheels relative to said body;
• control means for controlling said suspension systems, said control means including:
• means for determining first components of movement of said vehicle body based on said first signals and generating third signals representing said first components, said first components of movement including only vertical movements of said body at the axles and roll movements of said body;
• means for determining second body movement signals of said body based on said first components, said second body movement signals representing movement velocities of said vehicle body at said plurality of attachment points;
• and
• means for generating actuation signals for actuating said plurality of suspension systems, said actuation means comparing said second body movements to said second signals and generating comparison signals, said actuation means weighting said comparison signals and generating said actuation signals for adjusting said suspension systems to influence said first components independently of one another.
