Abstract

An off-road vehicle 10 is provided on a smooth highway 11. A forward-facing time of flight camera 12 illuminates the scene ahead with infra-red light 13. The scene ahead in repeatedly imaged so that the vehicle systems are alerted to a piece of rough terrain 14 ahead of the vehicle. Such images are processed to determine topographical features 14, 15, 16, 17 in the scene, and the vehicle suspension is commanded to adopt in advance a configuration h1, h2 appropriate to the nature of the topographical features.
