HEIGHT MEASURING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE

The invention relates to a height measuring device for a vehicle, comprising a sensor assembly (18, 20), by means of which sensor signals (31, 32) can be generated that characterize the position of atleast one chassis component (4) relative to the vehicle structure (5), said chassis component connecting a vehicle wheel (3) to a vehicle structure (5) and being connected to said vehicle structure in an articulated manner, and comprising an analysis device (19) which is connected to the sensor assembly (18, 20) and by means of which at least one piece of height information (33) can be generatedthat characterizes the height (h) of the vehicle structure (5) by analyzing the sensor signals (31, 32). The sensor assembly (18, 20) comprises at least one acceleration sensor (18) which is stationary relative to the chassis component (4) for detecting the acceleration acting on the chassis component (4), said acceleration sensor being used to generate at least one sensor signal (31) which characterizes the acceleration,
