System for generating signals for control or regulation of a chassis controllable or regulable in its sequences of movement
First Claim
1. A control system for controlling and regulating a vehicle body, said vehicle body subject to heave, pitch, and roll movements, said body connected to a plurality of wheels, a deflectable spring, and first and second adjustable suspension systems, said first and second suspension systems connected between said body and respective said wheels, said first and second suspension systems being individually independently adjustable to influence movements of said respective wheels relative to said body, said control system comprising:
- means for determining a plurality of first signals which respectively represent body velocities at a plurality of preselected points of said body;
means for generating second signals based on said first signals, said second signals representing heave, roll, and pitch movements of said body;
means for generating third signals based on said second signals, said third signals representing eigenoscillation forms of said body velocities; and
means for generating actuating signals based on said third signals, for independently adjusting said first and second suspension systems.

Abstract
The object of the inventional system is the so-called "modal" variant of the skyhook damping. The advantage of this variant over the local version is essentially constituted by enabling an individual damping of the eigenoscillation forms. Moreover, a definitive roll or sway moment distribution can be adjusted. For that purpose there are signals determined which represent the local vehicle body movements at selected points of the vehicle body. Basing on these signals, the heave, roll and pitch movements are inferred. These movements are differently weighted depending on travel maneuvers. By actuation of the damper systems dependent on the weighted heave, roll and pitch movements a specific influencing of certain components of the body movement is possible.
