Advanced street characterization of adaptive control mode

A vehicle is operated selectively in a plurality of modes of operation. The operation modes perform various commands to operate a controlled suspension system as a continuously controlled damping suspension system of a controlled steering system such as an electronic power steering system and a powertrain of the vehicle with him. For example, the powertrain may be sensitive in an operating mode quickly with little delay compared to the starting torque of a motor or a combustion engine. The vehicle includes a detection system such as a plurality of suspension height sensors, and a corresponding control that is programmed for receiving suspension height signals indicative of the characteristics of the road, for categorizing the signals and for calculating categorized vehicle characteristics such as vehicle pitch, -stampfen, rollers, -gieren etc. the control signals can categorize the categorized into a discrete number of index values, and then instruct the vehicle to change the operation mode based on the discrete index value.
