Zusammenfassung:A method is provided for determining whether or not ground contact loss is imminent for a wheel of a vehicle, the vehicle including a vehicle body having a vertical extension in a vertical direction, the wheel being allowed to be subjected to a relative vertical displacement, in the vertical direction, in relation to the vehicle body, the vehicle further being such that a maximum value of a vertical displacement of the wheel relative to the vehicle body is limited to a relative vertical displacement limit, the method including determining an actual relative vertical displacement of the wheel relative to the vehicle body, determining a limit margin as the difference between the actual relative vertical displacement and the relative vertical position limit, and determining that ground contact loss is imminent for a wheel if the limit margin is within a predetermined vertical threshold range.
