Abstract: A rough road detection system is disclosed. The system includes a sensor data receiver to receive sensor data from one or more sensors monitoring a vehicle. A sensor data evaluator to: identify a repeating pattern in the sensor data, the repeating pattern indicative of a terrain type being traversed by the vehicle, determine a value of the repeating pattern, obtain a present set of operational values for at least one damping characteristic of an active valve damper coupled with the vehicle, and modify the present set of operational values for the at least one damping characteristic of the active valve damper based on the value of the repeating pattern to develop a modified set of operational values for the at least one damping characteristic of the active valve damper.

Abstract: A system and method for utilizing an active valve customizable tune application is disclosed. The system includes a mobile device having a memory, an active valve tune application, and at least one processor. The processor initiates the active valve tune application, receives, from a database, an active valve suspension tune having a number of performance range adjustable settings, and receives user related input information. At least one of the performance range adjustable settings is modified based on the received input information to generate a modified active valve suspension tune. The system includes an active suspension of a vehicle, wherein the modified active valve suspension tune is implemented by the active suspension.

Abstract: An orientationally flexible bump sensor is disclosed. The system includes at least one bump sensor mounted to a vehicle, the at least one bump sensor comprising at least two axes of measurement. A computer processor is configured to evaluate the at least two axes of measurement to determine which axis of the at least two axes of measurement has a highest magnitude vector and determine a gain value to cause the highest magnitude vector to be approximately 1g. The computer processor will assign the gain value to the axis with the highest magnitude vector, such that the gain value is applied to each measurement generated by the axis with the highest magnitude vector.
