Method for conveying driving conditions for vehicular control

A method for conveying driving conditions and using the conveyed driving conditions for vehicular control, comprising:

• generating information about a travel surface or an environment around the travel surface using sensors fixed in position relative to the travel surface, each of the sensors including a measuring or detecting component that measures or detects a property or condition of the travel surface or the environment around the travel surface that affects interaction between tires and the travel surface and which is part of the generated information;
• only when a vehicle is within the set distance from the one of the sensors, initiating a communication of the information generated by the one of the sensors to the vehicle within the set distance from the sensor or occupant thereof, whereby a communication of the information generated by each of the sensors is not initiated unless a vehicle is within the set distance from that sensor;
• and
• causing operation of at least one of a display, navigation, control and guidance system in the vehicle within the set distance from the one of the sensors to change from an existing operating state to one of a plurality of different operating states as a result of reception of the communication from the one of the sensors, the specific one of the different operating states to which the display, navigation, control or guidance system is changed being determined based on the communication.
