  • Publication number: 20250162373
    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.

  • Patent number: 12280625
    Abstract: A vehicle having an active chassis system with curve tilting function, comprises a control unit, which when negotiating a curve determines a vehicle tilting angle on the basis of a current vehicle transverse acceleration or a correlated driving operation parameter, by which the vehicle transverse acceleration can be reduced, wherein the control unit uses the vehicle tilting angle so determined to trigger actuators of a suspension/shock absorbing system in order to adjust the vehicle tilting angle. The curve tilting function incorporates a prediction unit which provides the curve negotiation data for an upcoming curve. The vehicle tilting angle is set in consideration of the curve negotiation data.

  • Publication number: 20190047348
    Abstract: A method for keeping a vehicle on course by determining a lateral acceleration of the vehicle; establishing a desired lateral inclination of the vehicle depending on the lateral acceleration determined in step a); adjustment of at least one actuator of an active chassis device of the vehicle, so the vehicle takes on the desired lateral inclination determined in step b); and c) carrying out a compensatory engagement by adjustment of at least one actuator of an active chassis device of the vehicle, so the vehicle takes on the desired lateral inclination determined in step b), wherein, in step d), at least one additional compensatory engagement is carried out by an additional active chassis device for the at least partial compensation of a yaw movement of the vehicle caused by the adjustment of the at least one actuator of the active chassis device.
