  • Publication number: 20080051958
    Abstract: A process for controlling and adjusting an active chassis system (1) of a vehicle having a sensor device (2) and at least one element (3, 4, 5) for acquiring vehicle accelerations of the chassis system (1). The mode of operation of the one or more elements (3, 4, 5) is modified by a control device (6) which is in operative connection with the sensor device (2) such that subframe oscillations occurring while driving are minimized. Torsional oscillations of the body are determined by the sensor device (2) and the control device (6). The mode of operation of the element (3, 4, 5) is adjustably controlled by the control device (6) to counteract the calculated torsional oscillations of the body.
