Abstract:
Methods and apparatus of a system for vehicles comprising a vehicle suspension, a sensor operable to measure an operational characteristic of the vehicle suspension, and a processor in communication with the sensor that is operable to suggest an operational setting of the vehicle suspension in response to an input from the sensor corresponding to the operational characteristic. A method for adjusting a suspension of a vehicle may comprise receiving suspension data with a processor, calculating a suspension setting suggestion with the processor, communicating the suspension setting suggestion to a user interface device, and adjusting the suspension based on the suspension setting suggestion.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for a vehicle, comprising:\n a rear vehicle suspension; a first sensor positioned proximate a rear axle of the vehicle, the first sensor to sense changes in a terrain, said first sensor comprising:\n a piezoelectric high frequency exciter coupled to a telescopic tube of said rear vehicle suspension, said piezoelectric high frequency exciter configured such that it substantially continuously induces impacts to said telescopic tube; \n a second sensor coupled with the rear vehicle suspension, the second sensor to measure suspension operational characteristics of the rear vehicle suspension, said second sensor comprising:\n a piezoelectric accelerometer coupled to said telescopic tube, said piezoelectric accelerometer configured such that it monitors vibration of said telescopic tube; and \n a processor in communication with the first sensor and the second sensor, the processor operable to suggest an operational setting of the rear vehicle suspension in response to an input from the first sensor and the second sensor corresponding to a sensed change in terrain and the rear vehicle suspension operational characteristics, respectively, the suggested operational setting to enable the rear vehicle suspensions to achieve target level rear vehicle suspension capabilities over a given terrain, wherein the suggested operational setting is displayed on a device in communication with the processor as at least an instruction via an alphanumeric command prompt to a user.
