Abstract
In an apparatus for active motor vehicle suspension control, a fast-acting load leveler is included in the suspension system, with associated active or semi-active dampers and additional passive suspension and damper elements. As a result, a particularly good separation between wheel motions and vehicle body motions is attainable, in combination with good wheel motion damping properties and load leveling that maintains an adjustable vehicle height.
