Abstract
A control method for managing a hydraulic control system of a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes the steps of scheduling the invocation of a plurality of vehicle functions through system operations, which functions are used for operating the vehicle; prioritizing the invocation of the vehicle functions and associated operations by the system; performing the operations based on prioritization created in the step of prioritizing; and superseding the performance of one of the operations with the performance of a higher priority one of the operations. This occurs if the higher priority operation arises for performance during the performance of the one of the operations. A related controller is also disclosed.
