Abstract
The present disclosure provides a system for terrain classification and vehicle suspension sub-system health status indication. The system includes run-time terrain classification circuitry to determine a first terrain classification, for a vehicle travelling on a terrain segment, based on comparing a trained model to suspension sub-system sensor data and vehicle speed data; model accuracy determination circuitry to determine a second terrain classification, for the vehicle travelling on the terrain segment, based on the suspension sub-system sensor data and vehicle speed data and independent of the trained model; and sub-system health determination circuitry to determine a health indication of the suspension sub-system by comparing a difference between the first and second terrain classifications to at least one health threshold.
