Conventional suspension systems, which are based on pure mechanics, are on a high level of development due to the steady advancement of the kinematic and elasto-kinematic concepts. Nevertheless, with conventional systems, there must always be found compromises in the suspension layout. This thesis identifies the potential improvements concerning the vehicle handling by integrating additional mechatronical components into the wheel suspension beyond the already existing chassis control systems. The consideration is thereby concentrating on the improvements, which result from the possibilities to influence the suspension geometry by actuators.
This is including the analysis of the potential of active controlled suspension geometry to optimize the vehicle handling and the description of the possibilities for realisation of such a system as well as the construction of a prototype system.
