Control of the pneumatic suspension and pneumatic suspension for a railway vehicle

The procedure for the regulating of a pneumatic spring entails using sensors (10,11) to record measured variables which are the heights and pressures of the pneumatic springs (1-4). The measured signals are error checked, and the faulty measured values are replaced by computed measured values. The height measured values are transformed into a wagon body-related roll and/or pitch and/or torsional and/or lift proportion. From the pressure values vertical forces acting upon the wagon body are calculated. An Independent claim is included for a pneumatic spring for a rail vehicle which is regulated by the aforesaid procedure.
