Abstract

In this paper, model and signal-based methods for supervision ofsuspension elements of a car are presented. A model-based approach usingparameter estimation is used to determine the current parameters of avehicle suspension. Exploiting the analytical redundancy, different faults,like weak dampers or sensor faults, can be distinguished. For faultdetection the use of parity equations is shown. In addition, a signal-basedapproach is presented which makes a detection of tire pressure losspossible. All presented results were drawn from a test rig or from a drivingcar.
