METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AND ADJUSTING DIGITALLY OR ANALOGICALLY ADJUSTABLE SHOCK ABSORBERS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling and adjusting digitally or analogically adjustable shock absorbers, preferably in a two-axled road vehicle. The shock absorbers are controlled according to the situation by means of a control signal such that the road performance of the vehicle is improved when understeering or oversteering occurs. In order to improve the dynamics of movement of the vehicle in any particular driving situation, phase variables are determined and used to calculate the phase of the control signal. If the driving situation includes a tendency to sway, a moment in time is determined, at least according to variables describing the rotation of the vehicle about the vertical axis thereof, said moment representing a moment when correct phase control of the shock absorbers of the vehicle can be carried out in order to improve steerability when understeering occurs and in order to improve driving stability when oversteering occurs.
