Autonomous Vehicle Sensor Compensation Using Displacement Sensor

A vehicle, the vehicle defining a pitch axis, a roll axis, and a vertical direction, the pitch axis perpendicular to the roll axis, the vertical direction perpendicular to the pitch axis and the roll axis, the vehicle comprising:

• a chassis;
• a cab mounted atop the chassis along the vertical direction;
• a first displacement sensor associated with at least the pitch axis, the first displacement sensor configured to obtain measurements of a displacement of the cab relative to the chassis in the vertical direction;
• a second displacement sensor associated with at least the roll axis, the second displacement sensor configured to obtain measurements of a displacement of the cab relative to the chassis in the vertical direction;
• and
• a computing system, comprising:
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more tangible, non-transitory, computer readable media that collectively store instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• obtaining data indicative of a displacement of the cab relative to the chassis from the first displacement sensor or the second displacement sensor;
• and
• determining an orientation of the cab relative to the chassis about at least one of the pitch axis or the roll axis based at least in part on the data indicative of the displacement.
