The information on the routing of a road provided by a navigation system can be used by the driver of a vehicle with adaptive shock absorber to decide either for optimal comfort or optimal safety depending on the course of the guideway. However, the assessment criteria comfort and safety are with respect to the shock absorber in conflict with each other. In particular, maximal safety on a curvaceous road results in lower comfort. Thus, deciding on high safety means low comfort conveying a warning to the driver to reduce the speed. The methods applied in this paper originate from multibody dynamics, and they are extended by the stochastic road unevenness and the guideway curvature available to the driver from a navigation system using GPS data.
