ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an active wheel supporting system for vehicles having a scanning device which registers surface unevenness in a roadway, and active wheel support assemblies which are controlled by the scanning device so that the wheels are actively adjusted to the registered surface unevenness. To avoid acceleration of the vehicle body, wheel support assemblies are coupled in each case to counter-masses which carry out movements opposite to the wheel movements relative to the vehicle body. The reaction forces exerted on the body by the wheel movements are thus compensated by reaction forces directed in the opposite direction due to the simultaneous movement of the counter-masses.
