Abstract
A device for influencing vertical dynamics of an agricultural vehicle includes a mass mounted on the agricultural vehicle, a positioning system for controlling movement of the mass in vertical direction, a sensor device configured to detect a surface profile of an upcoming vehicle path segment, and an electronic control unit adapted to calculate an expected disturbance input for the upcoming vehicle path segment based on the detected surface profile. The electronic control unit operably controls the positioning system to execute a compensation movement of the vehicle that reduces the expected disturbance input by means of the mass.
