Abstract
A method for determining mass-related variables of a vehicle is described. Spring compression travel values (Le,1, Le,r) are measured on at least one sprung axle of the vehicle, and an actual value (zs,1) for the height of the center of gravity of the vehicle is determined from the measured spring compression travel values (Le,1, Le,r), their temporal variation ({dot over (L)}e,1, {dot over (L)}e,r), and at least one transversal dynamics variable which describes the transversal dynamics of the vehicle.
