Abstract
A method controls (open loop and/or closed loop) the damping force of adjustable dampers in vehicles, especially in motor vehicles, with active or semi-active damping systems. The method effects economically and rapidly a reliable control (open loop or closed loop). The control (open loop and closed loop) takes place in dependence upon the damper velocity (V) and the damper velocity signals are determined with the aid of distance sensors and difference formation of the distance sensor signals over a predetermined time difference.
