1. A system for regulating a level of a driver'"'"'s cab of a commercial vehicle relative to a vehicle chassis, comprising:

  • a spring-based bearing for supporting the driver'"'"'s cab on the vehicle chassis;

    a distance sensor configured to record at least one of relative movements and a distance between the driver'"'"'s cab and the vehicle chassis;

    a control device variably controlling the spring-loaded bearing based on a signal received from the distance sensor;

    the spring-loaded bearing being selectively adjustable to a first height position, where a distance between the driver'"'"'s cab and the vehicle chassis is controlled by the control device to a first target distance, and a second height position, where a distance between the driver'"'"'s cab and the vehicle chassis is controlled by the control device to a second target distance that is different from the first target distance, wherein the control device receives a signal indicating a measurement value of at least one parameter relating to a driving route or driving state of the commercial vehicle and adjusts the spring loaded bearing to the first height position or the second position in response to the measurement value of the at least one parameter.
