Off-Road Simulation Use Cases DefenseĪccording to the Congressional Research Service, 2,146 active-duty personnel in the U.S.

Before going into these topics, this blog post will first lay out three examples of off-road autonomy use cases and how simulation enables them. This blog post will explain what role suspension models play in different off-road simulation use cases. When testing and validating off-road AVs in simulation, development teams can address these challenges through accurate vehicle-terrain interaction modeling and, more specifically, suspension modeling.

As they don’t operate on paved and mapped roads, off-road AVs must successfully detect traversable terrain, handle bumpy terrain, and sometimes even avoid rollovers. On-road autonomous vehicles (AVs) face several well-known challenges, including pedestrian detection and path planning for situations like cut-ins, merges, and intersections.
