ATTENUATING A POTHOLE EFFECT

A method for controlling a force, in an open loop, between wheels and a vehicle body including front and rear axles when overcoming a roadway depression. A suspension means includes at least one arrangement of a spring system and a vibration damper having at least one actuating member for controlling damper forces in a closed loop. The method includes detecting a roadway profile ahead where depressions in the roadway are detected prior to or when reached by the vehicle, adding a detected depression in the roadway as an event to an event queue, selecting the depression in the roadway that is the next event in the event queue, adjusting the suspension means to a suitable setting in order to overcome the depression in the roadway when the detected depression in the roadway has been verified, or ending the method when the detected depression in the roadway has not been verified.
