Systems and methods for determining the location of a vehicle are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for localizing a vehicle includes driving over a first road segment, identifying by a first localization system a set of candidate road segments, obtaining vertical motion data while driving over the first road segment, comparing the obtained vertical motion data to reference vertical motion data associated with at least one candidate road segment, and identifying, based on the comparison, a location of the vehicle. The use of such localization methods and systems in coordination with various advanced vehicle systems such as, for example, active suspension systems or autonomous driving features, is contemplated.

Road surface-based vehicle control

Localization systems, including road surface-based localization systems, are disclosed that may work in conjunction with less precise systems, such as GPS, to accurately locate a vehicle on a road segment. Methods and apparatus are disclosed for the identification and selection of landmarks, including road surface-based landmarks.
