...Shannon Wagner; John B. Ferris Terrain topology is the principal source of vertical excitation into the vehicle system and must be accurately represented in order to correctly predict the vehicle response. It is desirable to evaluate vehicle models over a wide range of terrain...

...Heather M. Chemistruck; Robert Binns; John B. Ferris Modern terrain measurement systems use an inertial navigation system (INS) to measure and remove vehicle movement from laser measurements of the terrain surface. Instrumental and environmental biases inherent in the INS produce noise and drift...
