In the previous studies a selective increase in acceleration amplitude has been found to facilitate road surface type detection, as has the selective manipulation of the individual transient events which are present in the signal. The previous research results have been collected into a first guideline for the optimisation of the steering wheel acceleration signal, and the guideline has been tested in the current study. The test stimuli used in the current study were ten steering wheel acceleration time histories which were selected from an extensive database of road test measurements performed by the research group. The time histories, which were all from mid-sized European automobiles and European roads, were selected such that the widest possible operating envelope could be achieved in terms of the steering acceleration root mean square value (r.m.s.), kurtosis value, power spe
