Method for improving a vehicle-dynamics-related stability of a utility vehicle having a lift axle
A method is for improving a vehicle-dynamics-related stability of a utility vehicle, wherein the utility vehicle has a lift axle. The method includes: determining a current ground speed of the utility vehicle; determining a stability-critical speed of the utility vehicle; comparing the current ground speed with the stability-critical speed; determining a lift status of the lift axle of the utility vehicle; and lowering the lift axle of the utility vehicle if the lift status represents a raised lift axle and the current ground speed is greater than or equal to the stability-critical speed. A device is for improving a vehicle-dynamics-related stability of a utility vehicle.

Load detection method
The load can be detected for a vehicle having a chassis with vehicle wheels on a ground surface, a vehicle body supported in a sprung manner on unsprung components of the chassis. A wheel stroke for each vehicle wheel characterizes a vertical distance from the vehicle body. With the vehicle at rest, one or more wheel strokes are determined as static wheel stroke data, which are used with suspension information characterizing suspension behavior of the vehicle body to determine a static mass of the vehicle and / or vehicle body. While the vehicle is travelling, at least one drive-dynamical parameter of the vehicle is determined on the basis of which a dynamic mass of the vehicle and / or the vehicle body is determined. Suspension information is produced or corrected based on a comparison of the dynamic mass and the static mass.

Vehicle weight distribution determination
Techniques are described for determining weight distribution of a vehicle. A method of performing autonomous driving operation includes determining a vehicle weight distribution that values for each axle of the vehicle that describe weight or pressure applied on a respective axle. The values of the vehicle weight distribution are determined by removing at least one value that is outside a range of pre-determined values from a set of sensor values. The method further includes determining a driving-related operation of the vehicle weight distribution. For example, the driving-related operation may include determining a braking amount for each axle and / or determining a maximum steering angle to operate the vehicle. The method further includes controlling one or more subsystems in the vehicle via an instruction related to the driving-related operation. For example, transmitting the instruction to the one or more subsystems causes the vehicle to perform the driving-related operation.
