Abstract:
1. A control device for a vehicle regulating system, comprising: electronics configured to: (i) receive driving state measurement signals transmitted from driving state sensors of the vehicle; (ii) determine reaction properties of wheels of the vehicle from the driving state measurement signals; (iii) receive roadway measurement signals of a spectroscopic sensor aligned with a roadway surface; (iv) determine properties of the roadway surface from the roadway measurement signals, the properties of the roadway surface comprising at least one of a presence and properties of a water layer on the roadway surface; (v) compare the properties of the roadway surface with the reaction properties of the tires; and (vi) evaluate whether determined reaction properties are appropriate for the properties of the roadway surface to determine tire properties of tires of the wheels.
