The investigation of road vehicle dynamics has
to take into account the influence of road
irregularities. To do this various
road profiles have been surveyed. Samples of
road profile heights can be used as input of
vehicle dynamics simulation or
to fit appropriate random road models to the
data. For supporting this modeling part the
paper presents some statistical
characteristics of a number of road profile
samples.
