Abstract

A system for the generation of signals for control or regulation of a passenger car and/or truck undercarriage controllable or regulable in its sequences of movement, where a three-step operation is provided. In a safety mode, particular allowance is made for road safety, and in a comfort mode for travel comfort. Moreover, a predetermined undercarriage setting is selected in a standard mode. These selections are based on the movements determined between the wheels and the vehicle superstructure, such as spring deflection movements. Furthermore, based on the determined spring deflection movements, the actual value P of the wheel load fluctuations and the movements of the vehicle superstructure are inventionally determined. By query of certain criteria it is determined whether the undercarriage, controllable or regulable in its sequences of movement, will be adjusted in view of minimizing the wheel load fluctuations (safety mode) or in view of minimizing the superstructure movements (comfort mode) or whether a predetermined, specifically soft undercarriage setting will be selected (standard mode).
