1. A system for influencing travel dynamics of a vehicle, the vehicle including a plurality of actuators which influence movements of the vehicle, said system comprising:

  • first and second sensors for respectively sensing first and second movements of the vehicle and for providing respective first and second sensor output signals corresponding thereto, said first and second sensors mounted in close proximity to each other whereby vehicle movements and environmental influences affecting each of said sensors are substantially the same for each of said sensors, said first and second sensors including transverse sensitivities whereby said first and second sensor output signals respectively include components due to said respective second and first movements of said vehicle and which respective second and first movements are not desired to be measured by said respective first and second sensors;

    a first evaluation means for performing a first evaluation of said first and second sensor output signals and for providing corrected sensor output signals, said first evaluation comprising correcting for said transverse sensitivities of said first and second sensors by correcting said first sensor output signal as a function of said second sensor output signal based on characteristic dependency curves;

    a second evaluation means for activating one of a said actuators; and

    linkage means for electronically connecting said first evaluation means and said second evaluation means.
