Systems and methods for brake pad control based on surface roughness are provided. A system can determine a value of roughness associated with traversal of a surface by a vehicle. The system can generate, based on the value of roughness, an instruction to actuate a brake of a wheel of the vehicle to reduce an amount of separation between a rotor of the brake and a pad of the brake. The system can facilitate, based on the instruction, actuation of the brake of the wheel.

System and method for brake pad control based on surface roughness

Example illustrations are directed to a suspension system for a vehicle and methods. In some examples, a controller of a suspension system is configured to determine the vehicle is in a service environment, and to set a height precision mode for the suspension system based on the determination the vehicle is in the service environment. In some examples, the controller is configured to detect a suspension operating condition of the vehicle, and to change a setting associated with the suspension system based on the suspension operating condition. An example method comprises detecting, using a controller, a suspension operating condition of a suspension system of a vehicle. The method may further include changing, using the controller, a setting associated with the suspension system based upon the suspension operating condition.

Air suspension control

Example illustrations are directed to a suspension system for a vehicle, which includes a controller configured to determine a roughness of a ground surface associated with the vehicle. The controller may be further configured to determine a height adjustment parameter for the suspension system based on the roughness determined, and to facilitate modification of the suspension system based on the determined height adjustment parameter. Example methods are provided, which may include determining, using a controller, a roughness of a ground surface associated with a vehicle, the roughness determined based on ride height. The method may also include determining, using the controller, a height adjustment parameter for a suspension system of the vehicle based on the roughness determined.
