oming to obstacles on the road. As each wheel of the active suspension can be controlled individually, they can be "lifted" or "dropped" to minimize impacts of uneven roads. With 18 frames per second the front camera scans the road. The signals are processed in the central driver assistance system (zFAS) and the electronic chassis platform (EFP) which activates the suspension actuators. The obstacles considered in the control strategy can be on b...
