Systems and methods of predicting a grade of a road upon which a vehicle is traveling are disclosed. An autonomous vehicle system can receive sensor data from a sensor measuring a response from at least one mechanical component of the autonomous vehicle as...

A profiler arranged to be used on a host vehicle. The profiler is capable of (a) receiving data collected by the profiler while traveling over a surface and (b) generating a surface profile using the data collected with no minimum speed requirement. Since ...

A grade angle estimation system for estimating a grade angle of a roadway that a vehicle is driving along includes one or more controllers. The one or more controllers include one or more processors that execute instructions to receive three-dimensional ma...

The invention is directed at a computer-implemented method for determining a current angle of lateral inclination α of a curved roadway (22) by means of a vehicle (10), wherein a current yaw rate θ̇ of the vehicle (10) is determined. If the absolute val...

The method involves detecting a vehicle location signal which indicates a temporary position change of vehicle longitudinal axis relative to a base due to a targeted raising of a body of the vehicle (1) relative to a contact area (11) of wheels (9) of the ...
