1. A control network for controlling vehicle dynamics and ride control systems in heavy vehicles, comprising:
a first species of vehicle dynamics and ride control system component,
a second species of vehicle dynamics and ride control system component,
at least one vehicle performance sensor,
a controller receiving sensor signals from said sensor and in electrical communication with said first and second species of vehicle dynamics and ride control system components for actuation,
a first control scheme used by said controller for generating first control signals for said first species of vehicle dynamics and ride control system component, and
a second control scheme used by said controller for generating control signals for said second species of vehicle dynamics and ride control system component.
