Abstract
A method and control system for assessing a potential for collision between a body part of a vehicle and a roadway. The method includes predicting a trajectory path of the vehicle along the roadway, monitoring elevations of the roadway along the trajectory path, and analyzing, at a point along the trajectory path of the roadway, whether the body part of the vehicle will collide with the roadway based upon the estimated elevation of the body part on the vehicle at the point along the trajectory path and the estimated elevation of the roadway at the point along the trajectory path.
