1. An air spring system comprising:
a first mounting element adapted for being fixed to a chassis of a vehicle; a second mounting element adapted for being fixed to a movable part of the vehicle, wherein said movable part is movable with respect to the chassis of the vehicle; a bellows extending from the first mounting element to the second mounting element, wherein the bellows includes an air volume; a sensor arrangement, wherein the sensor arrangement is contained within the air volume, and wherein the sensor arrangement is adapted to detect at least one sensed data relating to a road condition, a vehicle condition and/or a pay load condition; and a control unit, wherein the control unit is adapted for receiving sensed signals from the sensor arrangement of the air spring, wherein the sensor arrangement is arranged within the air spring, wherein the control unit is adapted to evaluate the sensed signals upon at least one of the road condition, the vehicle condition and the pay load condition, wherein the control unit is adapted for conducting a signal profile analysis based on the sensed signals and correlations thereof, and wherein the control unit is adapted for comparing the sensed signals and correlations thereof with known signal profiles as to identify and recognize a current signal profile. |
