Abstract
A transducer converts an actuation, applied to the transducer, into a raw actuation signal. The sensor device comprises an acceleration intermediary for converting an acceleration of the transducer into an actuation which is applied to the transducer, an underlying surface state detector for generating an underlying surface state signal by evaluating the raw actuation signal and an actuation signal generator for generating the actuation signal, processed in dependence on an underlying surface state, by evaluating the raw actuation signal taking into account the underlying surface state signal. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding vehicle and to a corresponding method for generating an actuation signal which is processed in dependence on an underlying surface state.
