Abstract (en)

An apparatus (10) for actuating a vibratory mechanism in a vehicle comprising a sensor (14) configured to produce an operational value signal indicative of an operational characteristic of the vehicle; a computing device (11) operable to receive the operational value signal and determine actuation values based at least in part on the operational value signal and to produce a corresponding control signal for selectively actuating the vibratory mechanism; and an input device (13) configured to modify the actuation values during operation of the vehicle. A method for controlling a vibratory mechanism in a vehicle comprising the steps of producing an operational value signal indicative of an operational characteristic of the vehicle; determining actuation values from the operational value signal; modifying actuation values during operation of the vehicle; and signaling the vibratory mechanism to actuate in response to actuation values.
