A method for improving the ride comfort of a transportation vehicle including planning a first driving route by a navigation system; automatically detecting at least one road parameter of the first driving route by a sensor system of the transportation vehicle; automatically evaluating the first driving route in view of the ride comfort of the first driving route by taking into account the road parameter; and in response thereto using the first driving route or planning an alternative driving route.

Method and driver assistance system for improving ride comfort of a transportation vehicle and transportation vehicle

A method for adjusting the damper hardness of a vibration damper of a wheel of a transportation vehicle, wherein the transportation vehicle body movement signal is generated by a control device of the transportation vehicle from a first sensor signal of the first sensor unit connected fixedly in to a transportation vehicle body, a wheel movement signal is generated from a second sensor signal of a second sensor unit which detects a wheel position of the wheel with respect to the body, a speed signal which describes a speed of the transportation vehicle body is generated based on the transportation vehicle body movement signal, and the wheel movement signal and an actuation signal for setting the damper hardness is generated based on the speed signal. The transportation vehicle body movement signal is filtered by a first filter unit and/or the wheel movement signal is filtered by a second filter unit.

Control device and method for adjusting the damper hardness of a vibration damper of a transportation vehicle

A method for actuating the vibration damper of a transportation vehicle wheel suspension including generating data which represents the topography of the roadway lying in front of the transportation vehicle; analyzing the data with respect to roadway unevenness; adjusting the vibration damper while taking into consideration the evaluation of the roadway unevenness, wherein the amplitude spectrum of the roadway unevenness is ascertained from the data; and generating a specification for the damping of the vibration damper based on the amplitude spectrum.

Method for actuating the vibration damper of a wheel suspension

A method for determining an alternative trajectory for an autonomously-driven transportation vehicle wherein an alternative trajectory for the transportation vehicle is calculated by a control device in response to an obstacle being detected by a transportation vehicle sensor device, which trajectory replaces at least one portion of an original trajectory of the transportation vehicle so the trajectory has a minimum total disturbance of at least one disturbance summand, consisting of a respective weighting factor and one disturbance value.
